Is It Okay To Be Friends With Your Friend’s Enemy?

An exploration of the true meaning of trust and loyalty

Here’s the scenario: All three of you are friends. There is friend A(which is you), Friend B, and Friend C.

You and B get into it and each one of you text/calls Friend C to talk about the situation. Friend B was all the way in the wrong and you realize there are two sides to a story, but friend C still chit-chat and hang out with B to this day, much to your chagrin.

What is wrong with this picture?

I was in this situation before and in my opinion, it is impossible to keep up loyalties with all parties if Friend C remain buddies with the friend B’s of the world.

For example, when one of our friends betrayed me and my husband, we told one other person, an associate. This person heard us, understood us, and was shocked at what happened.

It felt good to tell someone what happened to us and she seemed quite balanced. She knew this woman too.

Two weeks later, we see her helping our friend B and another person who knew the situation remained “talking buddies” with friend B also.

I had a serious problem with this.
