Emotionally, I cannot do that right now. Indeed, they wouldn't take sides, and would still treat me the same as before. I just don't have the headspace, I'd feel miserable inside and don't think I could fake looking like all is well. I appreciate it's my lizard brain telling me to avoid and wanting to just move on already. I'm using up enough resolve to keep it together at home.
Both options are fine! If you may revisit in the future, when they reach out to you, consider declining the specific invitation or for a period of time, rather than making sweeping statements about your relationship going forward.
