When two loved ones argue and they ask you to pick a side, what do you do?

[V4mp315]

Never really had to pick a side because my parents never got separated like they said they would be, but I always told them both that I wasn't moving with neither of them. I said I was moving with a friend or another family member but not with mom nor with dad if it would off cane to that point.

[razelove]

I tell them they're both stupid and list the ways, by the numbers, how they're stupid, and that it is a terminal condition. So get along because together they're marginally less stupid and hell, with a third person even if they're still wrong and stupid, they can convince people they're right if they're loud enough and on the same page.

[Lov2PlezUgurl]

You have to be neutral you can't pick a side if you loved it them if one of them is obviously wrong then you have to tell them but other than that you need to stay in neutral are you still in the loan business I sent you a DM will you get back with me on that please

[Poppykate]

I would try my very, very best to not get into a fight that would involve a partner. A lot of the times, it’s best to walk away. (Lose the battle, but win the war). But sometimes you need to step in, particularly if you feel like one person is getting bullied or abused by the other.

[rjroy3]

I care about the relationships among my family and friends. I won't pick sides but I'll mediate. Most fights aren't over difference of opinion. Majority of the time it's about 1. Tone in which they're being spoken to and 2. Misunderstanding

Because of that if I see a fight brewing I'll often mitigate it by seeking to calm down the first person who shifts to an aggressive tone that could lead to a fight.

[lilyanony1]

Stay out of it unless I'm the older person. Then I would intervene and tell them to take a time out.
It's stressful for everyone and it gets harder and harder to resolve as the volume and content of the argument becomes more and more volatile.

[WesBrewer]

with all the people I know, I am on everyone's side, so I would state the truth to both of them while partially agreeing with both sides, as well as presenting them a solution to shut up.

[CriticalDiscourse]

This isn't my battle, I'm not your mediator and putting me in this position is unfair, so I'm leaving. You're both adults, act like it.

Me: 2021.

[Price511]

Either I'd take a neutral stance (reccomended), play mediator (bad idea), or just nope out of there (preferred). Depends on how I'm involved in the grand scheme of things.

[flamiE]

Depends how well I know the couple and how much I’m in their business. I’d try and stay out of it but if I can’t then I’d tell them how I see things without sugarcoating it.

[farmerjohna]

I would refuse to get involved. However if one of them being particularly stubborn or unreasonable I will pull them to one side later on and tell them

[smilinjackal]

Yell " why are you being rasist" that ends the quarrel. No side needs to be taken. Grab a bango and watch the boys

[Hangry22]

I don't side with anyone. I stay in the middle all quiet. I have always been the middle one in fights

[sheikalana]

I'd say I'm sorry but that's between the both of you and none of my business I feel like I don't have a say in this.

[NarutoUzumaki007]

You tell them to fuck off.

Because most likely they will make up and get over their fight but they will make you the villain in it

[FlyGirl95]

Plead the 5th and walk away. Come back when it’s over

[Inexpensivefurniture]

If there is a very clear right and wrong side, I will say so. Otherwise I try not to get involved

[paigelizzy]

Ride the fence and tell both of them what they need to hear.

[jgokgotit]

I tell them to shut the fuck up and leave me out of it.

[pleasestopthis]

I hate that so I usually confront them about it and not pick any side. I tell them to fight between themselves and don't get me involved lol

[AlexanderAnttila]

I side with the one who's in the right and if none are I tell them to knock it off and be mature.

[Anonymous]

Stay the hell out of it. Since when was it my problem? They need to grow up and deal with their own issues their damn selves. What are they, like 12?

[douride2]

I won't pick a side. It causes to much trouble & also it's a good way to lose a friend.

[mia999]

I never take sides in a conflicts I know nothing about. And only those who are arguing actually knows what’s going on.

[colivares878]

Pick your side and walk away no need to get into anybody else's problems

[Anonymous]

It depends on what they are arguing about. I'll either not come between them or express my mind if the matter bothers me

[Synikal]

I don't. They're both adults. Nut up and find a solution or spend time apart and whine.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Flip a coin & hope for the best.

[psychoticanimallover]

I pick another side entirely.

[Cherokeehp]

Depends who I think is right.

[andreasderjuengere]

There is a third side: mine :)

[Sarahr123]

You don’t pick a side.

[Jamie05rhs]

I tell them both to go fuck themselves.

[Biancatsumi1991]

I don't pick anyone's side.

[OddBeMe]

cops would say stay Switzerland

[sweet87]

Tell them to grow up and leave you out of it!

[msc545]

I refuse to take sides...

[mimi051998]

I say don't involve me

[Sublime45]

Don't. Simple.

[Anonymous]

I'll try to suggest a compromise

[gusn77]

Stay neutral.

[KayAsh]

Stay out of it...
