If I'm not directly involved!
It is my policy to never choose sides and never follow requests to stop seeing one friend over another. I like giving the benefit of doubt because sometimes when I'm stuck in similar situations I wish I had it myself!
In all cases of drama between two friends where I'm not directly involved I refuse to choose one friend over another on these grounds:
1) If I'm not directly involved then it always becomes a case of what one person says versus another. On all occasions I"ve heard both sides I can see both points or I can never ascertain with 100% certainty who is telling the truth.
2) You're being selfish of your friends if you can't share.
3) I'm willing to give parties equal time. If I see someone more than you that you don't like it is most likely because you don't make the time to hang out with me or you end up just staying at home!
I seem to be in the middle of 3 feuds at the same time in my social circle. So far this policy has serve me well and I have kept more friends than most people who try to choose sides.
