To think that both 'friends' are ridiculous?

[Fosterdog123]

2 friends of mine - friends with me but didn't really know the other even existed. Friend A had a job vacancy. Friend B was looking for work and was capable of doing the role, although I had never worked with her and so didn't know her in a professional capacity but she has always been an all-round good egg. I put them in touch. They both liked each other and a start date was agreed (casual p/t job, not in an office or for an organisation). All was ok initially but B apparently started to become unreliable and let A down in a big way ultimately. I kept out of it and didn't take sides, as they're both intelligent adults. As soon as they parted ways, they both dropped me dead. B in particular never said one word about it and cut all contact from that moment on. A said it just hadn't worked out and has been off with me ever since. I've known them both for years. AIBU to think that I did nothing wrong at all and they are both ridiculous?

Have you posted similar about this before?

Regardless, YANBU! How pathetic of them.

Nope, never posted about it before.

Yes I've seen a thread like this before!

I've seen this exact same scenario before too. Glad it's not just me.

If you value their friendship I'd be inclined to talk to them (separately) and say you're sorry things didn't work out, you don't know the details or really want to get involved, but that you don't want it to affect your friendship.

Really odd behaviour. I don’t understand why they’ve dropped you.

I think a friend can expect you to be supportive when they've been wronged.

If B let A down badly, then why not sympathise with A and apologise for recommending her. Sometimes not taking sides makes you look like you don't care.

I've definitely never posted about this before so it must be a common problem!
I did say something to friend A along the lines of an apology but she was hinting in a roundabout way that I was somehow to blame and therefore I wasnt inclined to be completely apologetic.

Yes I remember a similar thread too! Do you want to salvage the friendship with either of them? It sounds like you didn't do anything but they must be really pissed off with each other to not want to associate with you. In the past I have written to people who were for one reason or another no longer in my life just to give myself closure and a sense of me ending things on a positive note rather than the negative note that had been before. Do you think you would contact either of them to get to the bottom of it

Actually, what ontheedge said is pretty much what i woudl do.
