Who has custody of the friends?
What do you do when two of your friends break up? You’re friends with both of them, and the circle of friends between them is close. So there’s essentially a group of friends, two of whom were dating. When the relationship ends, who gets custody of the friends? As tough as it is, friends will start siding with who they knew longer, or whose side of the story they heard first, etc. Will the friends team up and become two clusters? How do you manage continuing to hang out with the ex of your good friend? Hopefully everyone can all stay friends, but we all know it’s not a perfect world, and not all people who break up stay friends.

When you have a good friend who has been dating someone for a long time, you'll often get to like the other person too. What happens when they break up but it was your closer friend's fault? That one bugs me - I feel like I should still be able to be friends with the ex, but that older loyalty usually has to take priority.
I say that's worse than two equal friends splitting, from a personal point of view.
