Divorce: Who Gets the Friends?

If you aren't sure about playing for both teams, speak with your original friend and find out how he or she feels about you remaining friends with his or her ex. Be prepared to cut ties with the ex because people often want to disassociate themselves with anything concerning their ex, including friends. If you do remain friends with each individual, make it a practice never to talk about the other person behind his or her back. Become Switzerland and do your best to remain neutral. Don't bash one or the other. If the topic of the other person comes up, do your best to change the subject. Even though you have the best intentions, at the end of the day, you likely will be drawn to the person you feel the closest to. Just remember to exercise some compassion -- you never know if you will end up in the same boat.
