Entered by slutkity on Sat Nov 18 23:31:38 UTC 1995:

A so-called friend of yours is causing emotional problems for a very close
friend of yours and you don't want to become involed. You fell bad for your
friend and because  of this you don't trust friend #1 . So what would you do
to help the situation?   :>

I'd encourage my friends to talk it out but otherwise I'd stay
out of it.  You can probably be the most useful by staying on
good terms with both parties and not passing judgement based on
what little you know.  And even when you think you know all about
a situation, truth is, you probably don't really know what all is
going down.

Ditto.  Mary's right.

I agree to an extent, but I think it's important that when someone you're
close to is being hurt, you don't ignore teh situation in the name of fairness
to the injury-causing party.  But no, don't offer your "help" where it might
not be  neede (or even wanted).

        Depends on the severity ... if party A is causing harm to party B, and
both party A and party B are friends, then it's normally an issue between
parties A and B.  If A is doing harm to B that B literally can't deal with
or A is causing physical harm to B, then I usually draw the line.
