The trouble with friends.

Do you ever feel like your failing your friends? I have alot of friends so many that I can't count but I have two best friends that live in separate sections of the country that I have known since I was in kindergarten, i feel like I'm failing them. We are the last of three friends that used to be five friends. One is Jessicca, the female of our little group. She lives the furthest from us and seems to be the first to grow up. She has two kids with a third on the way. The thing is that I know that she isn't happy in her relationship. In fact that leads me to my other best friend Jonathan. They used to date. It seemed like they were destined for each other, even when we were in kindergarten they were inseperable. He is still totally in love with her but he knows that her being married with three kids stands in the way.I don't know what to say to either and it's driving me crazy. He tells me that he is over her and she tells me that she isnt and it tears me apart because I know he's lying and she's telling the truth. I don't want to tell him anything that is going to hurt him and I don't want to tell her anything that would indirectly harm her children but I also dont want them to be unhappy.I spoke to another one of my friends about this and they told me to leave it alone it's nothing that I can fix and normally I would agree with her but when your best friends constantly tell you how they feel it takes alot of willpower.Sorry I just needed to get this out somewhere...Green

You're a good friend to want your friends to be happy, and to be unhappy when they're not. At least you have a 3rd friend you can talk to, so you don't have to keep this completely bottled in. To what that friend said about leaving things alone, I'd add that none of this is your fault, or a failing on your part.

Thank you Libbonobo

 

That makes me feel real good and yeah it helps to have a friend to talk to.

Hi Green

 

I agree with what libbonobo said. It's their problem, let them work it out. And I would take it one step further. If either of the two bring it up, tell them you don't want to hear it. If they have anythig to say, say it to the party involved. Why should you be stuck in the middle?

 

Best wishes
