Frienship...

As of lately a good number of the people around me have been going through friendship woes. If it's friends one day and enemies the other, or if they both just decide to walk away from the relationship, what happens next? Easy if it's only both parties involved, but what happens if there's another person left? A third person... almost trapped in the middle. 


Case 1
In a trio of friends, it's most difficult when two decide that there's nothing left in the friendship and now the said 3rd person has to designate time for each friend...because the other two can't stand to look at each other. It's almost as if it were a marriage and the parents get divorced and the judge makes the child pick who he wants to stay with. How am I supposed to pick? Even though I'm closer to one more than I am with the other, I'm still friends with the other. Should I just fall back and let our whole trifecta fall apart? Did it already? What does it take for two people who have been friends for years to just up and decide that they have nothing in common and that they will no longer be friends?


Case 2
What happens when you meet someone through your friend. You become cool people, but if the other two have a falling out and the one who you became cool with decides to cut off all ties and leaves you in the past also. What is that to say about the friendship you thought you were developing? Was it real? Well said person and I don't speak anymore. I kind of think that's messed up on his part.
