First of all, thanks to everyone for responding. Honestly, I think that I was uncomfortale initially for a couple of reasons. First is that I knew more details than the husband and knew that more would unravel as time went on. I knew once some of this unfolded, it would not be as friendly as they were at first. Secondly, they came over to our place immediatly after they decided to divorce to share a bottle of wine and make a gesture to keep the friendship the same between the four of us. Although a divorce is between two people, my husband and I felt like we also had some processing to do and it was really uncomfortable. And, it's not really between just the two of them when they are both going around our social circle talking about each other negatively, both trying to "win" over friends. I'm not the type of person who can sit outside this situation and not feel something as I watch all of this happen. I want to be there for both of them but I don't want it to overwhelm my life. It gives me severe anxiety and I don't know how to handle it.

Those are the reasons I feel uncomfortable. Not necessarily them being friends- but the way it's being handled is akward to me.

I'm not generally closed-minded, but I guess it's just unfamiliar territory.
