Today, my two best friends that I've known since middle school broke up. I'm glad I'm no longer a third wheel but now they won't talk to each other and both use me to complain about the other. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me. My 3 best friends, who I've known since I was born, supported me by asking for her number, and now all are trying to date her. FML
Today, I saw my friends talking about plans for later during lunch. I walked over and asked for the plan. My best friend of 12 years gently took me aside, and said "You know that person in each group of friends that is only around to be made fun of? That's you." I just got dumped by my friends. FML
Today, my best friend finally broke up with her knob of a boyfriend. This would be great except now my boyfriend of two years has broken up with me because she's finally single. She introduced us. FML
Today, after almost a year of having threesomes with my “best friend” and her husband, they both confessed that neither of them actually even like me. They just went along with it because they thought it’s what the other wanted. Now they won’t even talk to me. FML
Today, I broke up with my girlfriend because I couldn't trust her after cheating on me with 3 guys. Our friends are sad about it so they're throwing her a pity party. Now I'm single and I have no friends. FML
Today, my supposed "best friend" started going out with the girl I'd just split up with, immediately after she said she wanted to see other people. FML
Today, two girls who are in my class tried to talk to me about each other, not knowing the other had already spoken to me. They are best friends, but also hate each other, and seem to have taken me as the one to shit talk to about each other constantly. FML
Today, my best friend became my ex-best friend. I have finally gotten over the guy she stole from me a year ago and have developed a crush on another guy. My best friend called me today to tell me that she broke up with the first guy and is now going out with my current crush. FML
Today, I found out my "best friends" have gone on a crazy weekend and they didn't invite me. FML
Today, my best friend, who I speak to pretty much all day, every single day, started dating someone and blocked and ghosted me. I guess my only close friend wasn't such a good friend after all. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I've been in your situation before ... If you meddle too much, everything ends up being your fault, so be careful OP ! And good luck ! It's a horrible situation to be in, I hope it gets better soon :)

I think I see the problem here... They both seem to be under the impression to you want to listen them talk about the other. You should probably correct that... or sit there in silence until you finally explode at one of them.

Send them both a link to an AIM download and tell them they should use that if they wanted a messenger. Honestly though I've been in your situation before and one my friends was like "it's me or them." And I said a real friend wouldn't drop me because I talked to someone they didn't like. They didn't take it well, and now I have one less friend. The situation sucks and you don't deserve it at all but there really isn't much you can do. Just tell them you are not their messenger and you're not responsible for their arguments or solving them. p.s. DO NOT SEND ANY SCREENSHOTS OR INFORMATION BETWEEN THE TWO. It only ends badly.

I been through that, in the end, you might start agreeing and they tell each other and start blaming you for everything. Be careful, don't do what I did, just a small word of advice; try to say everything good about that person to the other so they become friends again. ?

I'm so sorry to hear that, OP! I don't know if it helps you that a lot of people have been in this situation before :/ When my friends did that they would do exactly what you just described. Then, after a while, either of them separately told me they didn't want to see me again, for what I thought no reason. I was really hurt, and then again 1 year later when I heard through someone else that they told others the reason back then was that she was pregnant with his child and they wanted to get back together again, but thought that I would somehow mess it up since I supported them during their breakup. Wtf... I hope that whatever you do, you still have enough other friends/family to support you through their selfish phase.

That's a Hermione and Ron situation. It sounds terrible. I'm sorry about that.

Sounds really similar to a situation I was in last year.
