Keeping friendships after other people breakups

Hey ladies,

Recently quite a few of my friends broke off their long term relationships. I'm friends with both parties and I don't know what do? It seems the women expect me to take sides. One of the guys cheated on his partner but it was after they broke up and she made him promise not to have sex with other women (!) He agreed and then got wasted and slept with someone whilst on holiday. My other friend keeps coming back together with her ex and then he breaks it off again like an asshole a few days later (It happened twice now!). I'm friends with both of the guys. I don't really want to write them off at this stage as I don't really think it has anything to do with me. Neither of the women are my very close friends, too (Not besties). On the other hand I don't want to applaud these dudes behaviour. I'm in a bit of a moral pickle tbf.

How do you act in a similar situation when couples that you are friends with split? Where lies your loyalty or do you think we shouldn't be made to choose?

I'm planning post-corona party and both of these women plain demanded that I don't invite their ex!

You sound young. So a lot of my experience isn't relevant. Are these people with kids? Marriages?

If not, then just remain friends with whoever you like best.
