Re: Friend and GF fighting advice

If they're not expecting you to take sides or interfere, then I'd just try to nod and sympathize with each person. "I'm sorry." "That sounds tough." "That sucks." "I can understand that."

Or maybe you should flat out say what you've said here. "You're my [gf/friend] and she's my [friend/gf] and I want to be there for both of you, but it's very awkward being put in the middle of this. I hope you can work this problem out between you."

Resist the urge to offer suggestions for how to mediate the argument. I know it sounds like a good idea, but you'd be involving yourself in their fight, which is exactly the opposite of what you want. It's also perfectly okay to ask them to limit their venting time as far as you're concerned. Like... you get five minutes to let off steam, and then you guys are going to take a walk, watch a movie, go out for tacos, whatever. Something fun to make you both feel better.
