Hi, i'm stuck in the middle of a bickering married couple - what should i do?

Over the past couple of weeks i've found out that like my two of my best friends (1 boy and 1 girl) are constantly arguing at each other. I have been highly tramatised by their constant bickering with each other and have been constantly asking the reasons behind this arguing. just yesterday i found out that each has secretly convided in me that they fancy the other...

i dont know how to deal with this situation as i know that guys aren't very good at dealing with this situation but i just want to know what is the best advice that you can offer... i dont want to fall out with either of them but am finding myself increasingly stuck in the middle...

any help would be appreciated!

Maybe they're both sexualy frustrated. Maybe if you told each friend what you heard together then things may change. A problem shared, is a problem halved :smile:

i thought about doing that but the impression i got is that if i intefere with their love/hate relationship all the hate will get directed at me!

Then if it does, you argue and say you tried to make it right, it wont be all directed at you dont worry, they should thank you.

You only think this at the moment because it worries you, and the way thing are at the moment look far from positive. But if things do work out and they become friend/partners then all can be well again

Al lthis bickering i think is steming from the frsutration of knowing that the other doesnt know their true feelings.

i like the song of going away with the female friend... (less said here the better)

the problem is that neither of them will go out with the other... which has made things surprisingly akward when going out

Makes sense, unless you can come up with a better reason why they are bickering like this.

well then invite them both out for dinner for 2.
dont tel them the other is ocming, when they both arrive, leave. tell them you two have alot to talk abt

otherwise u can be straight abt it, invite them both round to urs and dont sya the other one is coming, then when they both are there say iv had it with u two, u both fancy each other, jus get on with it. and leave the room! :wink:

The only problemo with that though is that because both will be really surprised, then they may take it out on 'revenged' (sorry dont know your name) which may cause problems. I think just telling them both together is the best bet. Personally.

Hey dude,

well my parents used to do that to each other all the time before they eventually got divorced, and it annoyed me highly :frown: So I can kind of understand what you're going through. I think it's important to realise that at the end of the day, it's not your problem, so don't feel like you have to be dragged into it :p: However it is kind of you to want to help out.

If you wanted to, I guess, reduce their arguments/supposed grudges against each other, I'd get them to talk to each other! E.g. have them get a coffee together, even with you in the background if it gets too much. Get them to communicate on their own, and not use you as a medium. What they are doing is a bit immature, and yes that reminds of when my parents didn't want to speak to each other and used me as the messanger :mad:

Anyway yeah, sorry getting off track. Point is, you shouldn't feel like 'you have to choose'. You've a right to be both of their friends :smile:

Best of luck with everything,

DB_x

P.S. Hope this post isn't too late.
