Hi @BvB
Being caught in the middle of a friendship breakup is never fun, and unfortunately, it’s natural to feel as though you have to pick a side.
As someone who has been caught in the middle of a friendship breakup, and has also had to put friends in the middle of my own unfortunately, I think it's important to make clear boundaries to both friends that you don’t want to be placed in the middle, because you are allowed to not choose a side. I understand why this could be upsetting to (G) but you do value and care about both friendships, and you're allowed to! Unfortunately, friendship breakups are a part of life, it doesn’t necessarily mean either person is bad, sometimes personalities just don’t mix and arguments occur.
It’s also good to remember to set personal boundaries. Don’t let the situation stress you out and consume you, which I know is easier said than done. Take some time for yourself to process your own emotions, and practice some self-care! Remember that you are not responsible for solving other people's conflicts, it’s not your responsibility to make either of them apologise or forgive the other. And know that you don’t have to talk to (G) about the situation until you feel comfortable enough to.
Take care of yourself, hope some of this was helpful. Happy to listen if you wish to share more 🙂
