| Stuck in Between My aunt recently visited us and is in total problem with her husband. I can't here but overhear her conversation with mom. Here is the scenario, her eldest brother from the province will be staying in their home and her husband doesn't agree with the idea. She is now stuck to whether she would help his brother who just want a place to stay while he looks for a job or his husband who just want to have their privacy at home. She is in total conflict as both of these people matters to her. Being in such two conflicting scenarios could hurt someone. |
| "Surely, Your Aunt's Husband Would Understand "
That is so true. I bet that your aunt really is having a hard time dealing with her husband and her brother. It would be much better if both parties would talk about the issue. And besides, no one would look after your aunt's brother than her. And I am sure that her husband would surely understand the situation. For as long as your aunt's brother would stand with what he promised to your aunt. |
| "Easy but heartbreaking decision"
I too have seen and experience such situations in the past. I have this friend who got stuck between in a dispute of his friends. Their friendship was established back at their last years in high school and now it is going to be ruined by a mere petty issue? This friend of mine is now having a hard time to pick whose friend will he side on, although he did tell me that he is convincing the more stubborn one to lower his towering pride down and to reconcile. On the past events that I have been attending, this friend is now accompanying the more stubborn one. Making the decision to whom side with might be easy (usually you side with whom you are better with or have better connections with), but doing this is heartbreaking especially when both the people in dispute both matters to you. That is why I would never have the guts to ask a friend to choose between me and another friend whom I would in dispute with, not because I know he would choose the other friend over me, but because I know that it would hurt him more. |
| "Hard To Be In The Middle "
That is so true. And besides if you guys where true friends then there should never be an issue of whom to side and whom to ignore. Because things would be settled if both parties would want to. It is indeed hard to be in a the middle of disputing parties. You have to keep your guard as well. Because in the end, you only have yourself to depend upon. Not all the times that we are to meddle with the issues of others, even if it concerns our friends. |
