I am still in the middle of a battle between two friends. One says this, other says that, and it's been going on for almost 3 years. Neither one of them can get over the pride and ego they have built and they both feel they were in the right. So that puts me in the middle of things, because I am friends with them both, and I can see them both as right, and both at wrong, but they won't see it. So my advice to get things off your chest is to tell them both as I did. I am still this one's friend, and I am still your friend. If you can't accept that, then move on. I will not be in the middle of anything, and if you don't want to be around them, then don't come around when you know I am gonna be with them. I don't want the fighting anymore. They both understood where I stood and have been able to accept it. They repect the fact that I didn't faulter my friendship for one or the other.

I been in that situation already, try to talk to them then invite them to have a coffee to talk over their misunderstanding. If they don't listen to you, then it's up to them when and how they want to settle thier misunderstanding. Just be fair enough when your dealing to them. :-)

Hello friend, I have had many cold wars with my friends over the years and most of the times, communication gap is the reason. The best way to resolve such misunderstandings is to sit across a table and talk them out. Since you know both the parties, may be you can arrange a brief meeting for them and help them sort things out. If this situation continues for too long then friendship will suffer and they would start hating each other.
