Two of my good friends have had a fall out, and so they do not speak to each other or try to communicate with one other in anyway. They're still my friends and I'm still friends with both of them, so they're not friends with each other, but they both still consider me a friend.
The tricky thing is, a lot of the time there are situations where I have to choose who I spend my time with. I then have to tell the other that I can't accompany him. I feel I'm letting both of them down every time I do this, and it's hard for me to tell them when I can't accompany him because whenever I tell either *Phillip or *Ben, I can tell in their voices that they're disappointed and either annoyed or left feeling abandoned.
I read something in a book which stated, 'Don't blow out friends repeatedly. You're letting them down if you do. And within them will grow an accumulation of disappointment. They will eventually, most likely, let you go. Beware the piracy of indifference.'
