I have three friends -- let's call them Peter, Paul, and Mary. Now, Peter and Paul have this kind of weird relationship. They were sort of forced to interact because they're the two best players in this game we all play. At first they hated each other, then they became inseparable, then they started having drama every other day, then they finally stopped talking entirely, until months later when they became bffs again, and now they've had more drama and split up again.

It's kind of odd, because their friendship came from them being so similar, but the conflict also comes from the fact that they're similar -- in all the wrong ways. It's like they're destined to be on-and-off every couple of months or so. (I bolded that because it's the Main Idea when it comes to decribing the situation.) And I hate drama. It makes me sad. Well, it's funny when it's people I don't know. Not so much when it's my friends. I can't talk to them both at once because they won't interact, and I miss having us all as one big group.

Anyway, Mary is Paul's girlfriend, and she's, like, the polar opposite of him and Peter. So I talked to her about the drama because she's the kind of person you can talk to. But apparently not, because she denied that anything was wrong, and was just like, "oh, Peter and Paul just have different interests, and also time zones so they don't play together, but they're totally still friends" and I didn't have it in me to tell her that Peter had talked to me just a few hours earlier and was clearly still irritated that Paul persists in being Paul. Yeah, it's that kind of drama.

So I basically have nobody to talk to about this, because you have to know the people involved to really understand, and I can't talk to Peter because he's still upset and I can't talk to Mary because she's either uninformed, in denial, or -- most likely -- too nice to actually talk about it, and I can't talk to Paul because he's weird and doesn't talk about serious things, like, ever. Knowing him, he's forgotten the whole thing even happened, and is wondering why Peter hasn't called.

*sighs* I don't even have a point to all this, just something that I wanted to talk about, but I don't feel satisfied with my explanation. Like I said, you really have to know these people. But I'm sure some of you know people who are a lot like them, so maybe you can understand anyway. I hope so. I just hate drama.

Why don't you find new friends to hang out with? This sounds so emotionally exhausting that all you can do is let them sort it out, and ignore the rest. Anything else is just going to run you into the ground.

da

I second this. There is nothing you can do about them, OP, but you can still look out for your own happiness.

Also, your explanation makes total sense, don't worry.

I'm sorry that it's being so stressful for you anon. I don't have any advice I'm afraid so *hug*
