The real issue is my friend. My BF isnt asking me to take sides and is trying to be as reasonable about the situation as he can be. However my friend is taking any oportunity he gets to bad mouth my BF and when i say im not getting involved he accused me of taking my BF side. I dont know what to say to my friend.

flower girl agony auntBecause you have feelings for both of them tell them that they are hurting you by trying to get you to take sides and you don't want to speak to either of them until the situation is sorted out, hopefully this will make them come to their senses and sort it out, if they both care for you they should be able to do this for you.

Take care.xx.

DV1 agony auntGet them both in the same room, and tell them that you're not getting involved with their bickering. If they're not satisfied with that, tell them you're done talking to either of them, and move on with your life. Follow through.
