[quote=Anonymous]Kind of a spin off situation to another poster here who had a falling out with someone in her friend group, but (no relation to that poster) I have been friends with two different people for many many years, and while they only met through me, we share a close group of overlapping friends. Will call them friend A and friend B.

In our twenties, friend A met and briefly dated a guy that friend B knew. Guy broke up with friend A. Several months later, he pursued friend B and they ended up getting married. There was no overlap, but only a few months difference, and friend A was so hurt by the rejection. Friend B is an extremely kind person who was not at fault and didn’t owe anything to friend A, but it was awkward because they knew each other and spent time together through me. At the time, friend A would refuse to go anywhere that friend B would be, making gatherings a choice between the two of them. I understood where both of them were coming from- neither were wrong and it was awkward. Eventually friend A started coming to events and mostly ignoring friend B.

A decade later we’re all married have kids etc. but I still have to choose between the two of them if I ever want to have a smaller group of mutual friends over. WWYD? Invite both and let friend b decline if she still cares? [/quote]
