In the middle of two friends…..😔

Long story short…..two of my best friends fell out with each other nearly 6 months ago. We have done a couple of outings as a group and they don’t speak at all. What I’m finding hard is spending time with each of them on their own. I feel like I can’t tell them that I’ve been out with either one of them, and when I do I get a cold shoulder from the other friend. Does anyone have any advice on what to do? It’s making me feel rubbish when I was never part of the argument.
thank you and merry Christmas 🎄

What was the falling out abiut

I had this. It was really awkward for a while. Now 4 years on I can mention them in front of each other but I didn’t for quite a while. We don’t do stuff as a group anymore, I just see them separately.

Something really petty, but not sure if there was something under lining between them.

That's very frustrating. Can you possibly mediate?

I had this.
I waited until they were calm and explained that the fall out was not mine.
I was sorry it had happened for them, but I was a good and supportive friend and they couldn’t dictate who I could and couldn’t see.
I’m generally terrified of confrontation, but I could see, if I didn’t address it, it would drag on far longer.

Thank you. It’s just so awkward. Feels like the middle friend gets punished even thought your nothing to do with it.
