they broke up, and I'm in the middle Options

[bambamboozle]

My best guy friend Matt and his girlfriend Allie have been dating for almost a year now.
They've become best friends and as a result I've become Allie's girl to go to for advice. The three of us know almost everything about eachother (if I say it to matt, allie knows it, if allie says it to me, matt knows it- we all pass it on).

Well, Allie just broke up with Matt because she didn't love him anymore and college was coming, but Matt was head over heels for her.
I found out about the break-up when Allie called me worried about there friendship. All I could think was how was Matt?
He was a wreck. I called him and he bawled away and he told me regretfully how he could never be friends with Allie again because it would hurt too much (and he wasn't being overly dramatic, I know him).

Well, Allie called me later wanting to know how he was feeling and when I told her about him not being able to be friends with her she started bawling- and she was completely emotionless before that.

I hate being in the middle like this.
Should I have told Allie how Matt was really feeling?
I didn't want to hurt her, but she wanted to know.
I don't know if I should side with someone or try to remain in the middle, helping them both. Help?

Ouch! Maybe you should've lied to Allie about how he was feeling. Well, maybe not lied, but at least put it in a more quiet way that he wasn't feeling so good. You should've waited it out until the next day.

Well, the best thing you can do it try and comfort both of them. When you hang out with one of them, don't invite the other. Just keep it that way until a couple of months/days/years later when this whole drama has ended. Gluck!
