How to deal with breakups

You have two friends... they are a couple.. they break up.. my advice to you STAY OUT OF IT!!! Completely.. you may ask, How are you? Or Can I help you? but do NOT bash the other person.. do not pick a team.. do not pick a side. First off it isn't your battle, the other person did nothing to YOU. Both people are hurting so why do you think you have a right to help hurt the other? (by the way this goes for friendships too) Not to mention when all the dust settles and the fog clears and they ultimately get back together or the friends patch things up .. you and only you are going to be the one standing there looking like an ass and you will be without two friends because don't you know that other person is going to report back the crap you talked about them?? Come on now.. grow up!
