Q.
My husband and my best friend do not get along and are always putting me in the middle. How can I keep the peace?
A.
The short answer: Keep them apart as much as possible. Have your friend over only when your husband isn't around, and don't invite him along when you go out to see her. It doesn't sound like eithe rof them will mind one iota, and that should substantially cut down on their bickering. When one of them trashes the other to you, say, "Please don't criticize X or drag me into your disagreement. You know how much he/she means to me." Most important, accept the fact that they don't get along and don't stress about it - they could grow closer as the years go by.
