My two best friends just stopped being friends with each other, and I'm left in the middle. I knew this day would come for years, but it came about so unexpectedly. We were going to go on a summer trip together, we never got to do it 2 years ago because of covid...now what? I don't know how to handle this

Stay friends with them both but remember two are company, and three is a crowd.
ReplyFriend is an overused word... most people in our lives are just acquaintances. And sadly, human nature being what it is (read about the 7 deadly sins), acquaintances are typically not going to put anyone else first. You'll probably only have 2 to 3 actual life long friends who are there through bad and good times. So go about your life, be productive, live, love and learn, and don't worry about the pettiness of others - since after all.. we are those "others" to someone else... which.. is why it's best to stay focused on your goals. In time, you'll recognize your true friends, but for now - perhaps the best you can do with these friendships is stay neutral; alternatively - you can play peacemaker. Best of luck.
Courtesy notice: the following includes a reference to a book that contains writings over 2000 years old which are mostly parables about human nature, both vile human nature as well as moral human nature, parables that are meant to teach us to learn and grow. No religion required, and better yet: no public displays of devotion required. Some bullies will label this "trolling", so "change the channel" now if of no interest to you.
Matthew 5:9 - Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
ReplyI appreciate that. The problem is we weren't just quick best friends/acquaintances for a year, we were best friends for 10 years. We always talked about being there for each other through thick and thin, and how we'd be in nursing homes together one day. But in the span of 48 hours neither of them want anything to do with the other, and it feels like all the good times we had together are just gone forever
