I've experienced the same thing. The way I handled it was I chose one of them. Obviously, they're both jealous and they both like you a lot and want you all to themselves. I suggest you decide which friend means more to you and choose them over the other friend because from the sound of it they'll never like each other.

Tell them if they can't get along with each other, that's fine. But you will not be the one in the middle. You will not hear trash about either one of them from the other. If they can't deal with that, then they're not your friend. It's weird. You can have several friends, but not all of your friends will like every friend you have. I think it's because we need certain things from people, and there's no one person who can fill all those needs. So, that's why we have several friends. But, only a few of them are our best friends...ones we can share our deepest, darkest secrets to. Ones we can depend on to keep us honest and from being stupid about things. So, if they insist on putting you in a position where you have to defend one from the other, tell them you'll have no part of it. They'll either continue as your friend, or not. It's up to them, not you, to get along with each other. If they can't accept your love for both of them, oh well. Hasta la vista baby! <*)))><

hi there i know this sounds like a rubbish situation (it prob is) maybe they really dislike each other but i think the main reason is the they are jelous that you have another best friend apart from them. put yourself in thieir shoes. how would you feel if u had had a great time with your mate who is your best friend in the world and then she goes off with someone she likes just as much as u? it hurts. but i think if they really dislike each other you should talk to them seperately. and ask them not to be nasty about the other. and say if u and one of your best friends are talking, dont bring the other friend up in the conversation. i hope this has helped you, you sound like a really nice person :)

I would have a sleepover and invite them and talk about some differences and of course have it at your house and do stuff u would normally do at a sleepover and try to let them get along have them bring games etc. and hopefully it will work out

Keep the animals apart! Just kidding. Tell them you will NOT listen to the *** and they should start behaving, etc.
