Stuck between GF and Best Friend

So I'm stuck between my gf and best friend, maybe someone will have some good advice for my situation?

>gf has known best friend since they were kids, they grew up near each other
>gf and best friend (hereafter known as Q) have usually gotten along, but sometimes butt heads
>we all move in together for that sweet, sweet cheap rent
>Q is mad at gf for not putting more work into the house because he's been working his ass off
>fight escalates and he disassembles her kitchen table chair and calls her a wench
>she leaves the house and now refuses to move in permanently
>that night she told me "YOU HAD BETTER NOT TAKE HIS SIDE!"
>I told her I'm not taking sides against my best friend and I'm not taking sides against her either. I will be a neutral party in this.
>Q agrees that it's best if I stay out of this because he knows the predicament he's put me in, apologizes for it
>gf tells me "We've got to talk" tonight about how I'm not on her side and it's unacceptable for me to not be with her on this

What do I do anons? I'm cornered between my best friend and my gf and don't want to choose a side, this is their fight, not mine, but I'm being dragged in anyways. What do I say to my gf tonight?

Please remember there are many many many fish in the sea.

This goes for the BF as well. He needs to understand your limits too.

> Not putting more work in the house

Sounds like you gf doesn't do the dishes or handle a vacuum as often as she should have

>>fight escalates and he disassembles her kitchen table chair and calls her a wench

Probably the two most autistic things possible he could have done

>I told her I'm not taking sides against my best friend and I'm not taking sides against her either. I will be a neutral party in this.

Whoops.

>>gf tells me "We've got to talk" tonight about how I'm not on her side and it's unacceptable for me to not be with her on this

Yeah she's right. He called her a wench(???) and went out of his way to disassemble her kitchen chair, like how was that supposed to get her to do more housework or whatever?

Unless there's more details you've forgotten or left, friend is absolutely in the wrong and you're complicit essentially taking his side by default.

I've signed a lease with these people. I'm not just going to tell them to fuck off and go find some more fish. Do you just abandon people when they're going through hardship because there's other people out there? What the fuck kind of advice is that?

Certainly not going to deny that. I intend to bring that up when we talk tonight, I just need to figure out how to word it in such a way that it doesn't make her think I'm attacking her.

They're both being petty AF. Tell her in front of him, there's nothing for you two to talk about as whatever is going on is between him and her, and as adults they're going to have to work it out or she can just live somewhere else because you're not looking for another place to live right now while rent is so cheap. If she can find another place just as cheap for the two of you then you'd consider living with her, as long as she helps take care of the house.

You'll be old enough one day to realize that toxic people and their toxic habits weigh you down and that it's ok to let them go. It's not selfish, it's self preservation.

Yeah he's a total autist, but I'm not going to tell him to jump in lake, he's been my best friend since high school (I'm 25 now)

I don't see why I have to take sides against my friend. He's apologized for the chair incident and the chair has been repaired. I figured they'd be salty for a bit and then move past this, but now it's threatening the entire living situation because my gf doesn't feel safe in the house because he is also in the house.

Every human on the planet is toxic. If I let go of everyone, I'll have no one. That attitude is a good way to have no friends at all.

>He's apologized for the chair incident and the chair has been repaired

He apologized to her or just to you?

Why is it only up to her to do the housework? If she doesn't have a job of her own I would understand.

He actually only apologized to her, I wasn't even involved with that.

It isn't up to only her to do the housework. She's done the bare minimum of housework while I've moved multiple people's furniture and my own (she's only moved hers) I've mowed the lawn and taken care of outdoor issues and electrician's work. My friend has built the kitchen table, chairs and helped literally everyone move stuff into the house.

It is on everyone to do work to help others, the fight came about because my gf was being asked to clean the living room at some point before her 1PM shift the next day and she laughed in my friend's face telling him that she didn't want to take away from her morning relaxing time before work and would clean the living room on Saturday. (this was Thursday night, last week).

Since then, I have cleaned the living room to hopefully help quell tension, but it hasn't done much.

Dawg you and your best friend have your own place together. You will have chicks begging to come and stay with you when they find that out.

Bros before hoes user.

Is not having friends what scares you? I could give a crap. All I need is a few good people to depend on

Not sure if you're the same user telling me my friends are toxic and I should just drop them all for self-preservation, but these are my good people. These are the people I depend on. They're having a fight, everyone becomes at least somewhat toxic during a fight. Abandoning them because of the fight is fucking retarded.

>Is not having friends what scares you?
Hell yes it does. Losing my social circle would destroy me.

They both sound like petty squabblers then.

Saving on rent is nice, but oh boy do you have to really think twice and thrice about who to live with. Don't mix business with friendship or relationships.

>Saving on rent is nice, but oh boy do you have to really think twice and thrice about who to live with. Don't mix business with friendship or relationships.

I will certainly keep this in mind next time around, but for now, I'm in a 1 year lease with these folks. Any suggestions for how to get any amount of normalcy to the house? Or suggestions on what I can say to my gf that will calm her down and get her to move past all this?

>being this naive

>being this jaded

OP is codependent.

ok so here comes the masterplan:
what if you tell your buddy that you pretend to be on her side so she doesn't escalate even more. sincehe already knows that you dont want to take sides so that shouldn't be a problem

I've thought of this, it doesn't seem like a terrible plan outside of the part where I'd have to lie to my gf, which I'm trying to avoid doing if possible

Letting your best guy friend live with you was a mistake, did you want to end up get cucked at some point?

You poor little sheep. They may or may not be fucking but that's not the point since there's some big kid stuff going on here...

It's a dominance thing that'll work itself out on its own. Sadly you may or may not like the result. Do you love them both?

Welcome back to childhood

>pretend to be on her side so she doesn't escalate even more
Based on the OP's posts, it sounds like "her side" is "KICK HIM OUT!", especially since his gf already pulled the "I don't feel safe" card.
It sounds like she wants OP to "have a talk" with his friend and give him a move-out date due to his behavior. It really is sounding like she's making him choose the friend or her, because whichever one he chooses, he loses the other.

You can't really play neutral when one party blatantly wants to remove the other. There is no half-way point between evicting someone or letting them stay with you.

What the fuck?
Is this like a Jow Forums post version of masturbation?

This.

Ask yourself this, OP:
When you inevitably take your girlfriend's side and kick your friend out (because he can't provide vaginal access to you, she will actively emasculate you into doing it, and you're so co-dependent and socially conscious you'll just please the one complaining loudest), what do you think her reaction will be, when she continues to procrastinate and ignore her chores and responsibilities, and you mention something about it, and she illustrates how "It's just like your best friend all over again"?

What would bill burr say?

is right. Dump them both.
