Piggy in the Middle

[aka pixi]

I have a couple of online friends that totally hate each other. The reason they hate each other has nothing to do with me but Im sick of being piggy in the middle because of it.

I dont tell each of the friends when I am/have been talking to the other (in fact I dont mention them to the other at all) but sometimes they will both ask 'when did you last talk to ********' I am not prepared to lie about it so will tell them the truth. Then I get a barrage of crap, along the lines of 'oh i dont know how you can talk to ******** he/she is such a lying two faced so and so' They then spend the next half hour slagging the other person off even though I tell them im not interested in hearing it. Then more often than not the person who has asked will throw a strop and totally avoid me for a few days (eg only coming online when they know I wont be there, or ignoring my email or not replying to me if i give them a shout on msn)

Apart from this I get on really well with both people but Im getting really fed up of all the childishness. I have told both of them to stop it but almost half the time I talk to them one of them mentions the other. I dont want to fall out or stop talking to either of these friends as I do really like them both.

As anyone else experienced anything like this? As anyone any ideas how I can go about making it all stop?

Gulp - lol

I KNOW its not me cos I dont do the talking behind backs as pix will vouch -I can stand up for my own gobby self - lol

Got me wondering tho -you know I will spear the guts out ya now -PMSL.

I would just absolutely rubber any reference to either of the people and the person they are mentioning.

From your post i can only assume you have shallow and stupid "friends".
Any friends like this i would cast by the wayside and tell them they are sprats in the river of life.
There seems no reason to waste time on such spry and small fry when there are bigger fish to fry.
Move on and find real friends not the pseudo friends you find online.
They are obviously of low intelligence and little worth.

Mwaaaaaaaaaaaaa - you're talking about me pix - I know that you are. I was only joking about wot I said about Dris - honest. I would share a daffodil with her any day - plastic or home grown. Russian spies must stick together!

After much consideration and deliberation i have come to the cocnclusion that as they accnt be as good friends as each other you must choose to stick with the better friend and cast aside the other .
Im sure they will have other friends and it will cause you much less strife and torment .
You do really like them both but surely not as much as each other .
I assume you are a grown woman with a mind of your own so why not just choose and be done with the games ?
