Honey, this is just one of those things I find I have to ride out... I have been the middle man my whole life... The buffer... It's more stress than it's worth. One will get over being bullheaded or not. :( Unfortunately I can't make that choice for that person. :) It's a shame people can't just get along...

Been there, done that, didn't like it.

About all you can do, if you value both friendships, is to maintain neutrality. No, its not a bit easy. It frequently involves telling both of your friends "look, that issue is between you and ___, and I don't want to be in the middle of it or hear about it. I care about both of you, and the stress of your fighting is not something that makes me merry.

Beyond that, if they are really talking to you and not just complaining about each other, you can commisurate with the one that is trying to remove barriers, and understand but help the barrier-person to be open to seeing new perspectives on the situation.

Its not a comfy position. It IS a remediable one.

Well in my situation it is my husband and my daughter. But she is stubborn and he is uncaring...and i'm in the middle trying to keep them from hating each other...

let the two friends work it out between themselves. I am way too old to get caught up in conflamadrama.
