Two friends of mine have recently had a falling out. I told them both that I didn't wish to get involved, even though they both wanted to discuss the fall out with me. Both friends are quite dramatic and I just didn't want to get involved. Anyway, it looks as though Friend A has decided that I have sided with Friend B, as now Friend A won't speak to me. Either that or she is annoyed that I refused to take sides.
Also a couple of years ago two other friends fell out, and again I didn't get involved. However one of them wrote something about the other on my Facebook wall. I deleted it immediately and told the friend I wasn't happy that she had written it, but the friend that it was about immediately fell out with me over it, even though I told her what had happened and that I was not involved. Now they are friends with each other again but this woman still won't speak to me.
How can I stop getting dragged into arguments? I make it pretty clear that I won't get involved. I don't "do" getting into other peoples' battles generally anyway.
Gah!
