What to do if you’re caught in the middle?

0

I have these friends, officemates actually, that are older than me. They are very close to each other. They are open to each other’s opinions and they have been through a lot of problems and issues together, be it work-related or even personal ones. For now let’s call them M and H. Friend M has had issues with another co-worker in another department to which she confided to H in a friend-to-friend conversation and not as co-workers. Friend H then used what M has told her. H put it in her organizational report. M felt offended. I know H did bad but H has no other friend. I feel sorry for her. But M is not ready to reconcile with her yet. What are your opinions? What to do?

Stay the hell out of it! Don't take sides and don't offer them opinions. Simple tell each if it comes up that you are a neutral party and that you like them both and hope that they can work out their issue.

Don't take sides... Let them sort it out themselves

I guess you're all right. I'll just stay out of trouble.

If you want to spend some friendly time with M to do nice things and not discuss how to fix things with H (other than give M all the space they need), that could be one way (although you said she has no other friend, that means you are not her friend?). H needs time and M has to experience the consequences of her actions and learn her lesson, let them sort it out.
