between friends...

OK, so here’s a situation.

I know these 2 people. Let’s call them A and B. They know each other 2 and we all know each other well enough to have an occassional dinner at each others place.

But I also know that A doesn’t like B as I have been told that. B may know it but has never said anything and B continues to socialize with A. A hesitates to meet B but cannot refuse because of old ties.

So, do I tell B that A doesn’t like you so back off, or should I let them fight their own battles. I like them both and I don’t want either party getting hurt.

Let them fight their own battle :(
There's always too much drama in these kind of situations and since they are grown ups, it's better if they sort it out between themselves.

Re: between friends...

Why doesnt A like B?
I say let them alone, and let them deal with their own battles.

To tell you the truth sister, I haven't seen any other 2 ppl having so much problem on GS.
Every thread I go to its A Vs B (mostly girl A and girl B) I think they should work things out for once and for all.

Re: between friends...

Why don't you try to patch things up ? There is more to the story ?

Re: between friends...

Stop seeing both of them!!

Re: between friends...

tell them to work out their difference or just leave you alone and not get you involved

Re: between friends…

let everything run in a flow,dont act Ms,SUN SHINE :hehe: cause in the end u will be one who will be blamed.you stay friends with both A and B .

Re: between friends…

PM, this ain’t about GS :smack:

I’m not really sure about the exact story between the two. I know A has personal grudges…like when I meet A, she will be sure to criticize B and say something negative. I usually avoid making any comment in response or change the topic, but by now it is quite clear that there is an issue. I just feel silly knowing that especially if I happen to be with them together.

Re: between friends...

Niksik let them fight their own battle. Dont get involved in it.......you dont want your name dragged into any potential fued. Stay out of it! that's what i would do.

Re: between friends...

One Q Nikky...does this situation make you like the in between person...puts you in the weird spot of choosing sides or not?

Re: between friends…

I should eh? :hmmm:

I could just avoid meeting them both as much as possible. It’s quite stressful.

So far no, but I know that if A says more stuff to me, I'll have no choice but to discuss this with her and then taking sides may become a possibility that I'm trying to avoid.

if they are putting you in the middle of it…then i would lay low for a while until they resolve things.

why put unnecessary stress on yourself…as if you dont get enough of that from home :smiley:

Re: between friends...

AE :D

I guess it's best for me to stay away for a bit.

Re: between friends...

Niksik, yeah just stay away

i had this happen to me.. then A & B got into a fight and dragged me into the middle and it was all kinda nasty... try not to say anything, cus even if mention B's name to A, A may use that against u later... when it was never ur intention to be criticising

in the end they became friends and left me.. LOL! but i was happier this way..

Re: between friends...

From your observation, who do you think is justified?

It could be that B did some nasty stuff to A, or is a nasty person otherwise, and As only way to counter that is to let it out verbally.

It could also be that A is an intolerant person, who just speaks out whenever she feels like, and B is the victim here.

Find out, and choose a side. Seriously.

Re: between friends…

Initiator, I don’t really know the whole story…just pieces of negative from A. Definitely something has happened between the two, perhaps unknowingly…I cannot say.

I don’t have the courage or rather strength to find out the story because I know that’ll be like opening a can of worms.

The 2 problems I am facing are:

  1. That B doesn’t know that A has developed a dislike for her and she continues to treat her like old times.
  2. I like both of them. They aren’t my best friends but good enough friends to be concerned about knowing…

I just wish I didn’t know anything :hinna:

Re: between friends...

A has already been vocal about it her disliking, so asking B is probably not a bad idea. Try not to give B any specific details.

In any case, please do not let it get to your head. Maintain your distance!

Re: between friends…

Should just ask B directly? Like B, do you know A doesn’t like you…do you like her :eek:

OK OK, I just don’t want to.
