what advice do you need? it sounds like you told them exactly what they need to do, if they don't listen that's not on you

Just exactly what to do in this situation. I feel like ignoring them would be rude as their friend. But I’m also overwhelmed with what I have going on.

To a point there's only so much you can do, you've shared that they need to communicate. Unless you want to involve yourself even further you need to let them work it out on their own terms. Remember you want to be there as a friend but they can't treat you like a therapist and expect you to fix their problems or just vent to you without making any changes

Thanks, would you suggest hinting to them individually that the other person is upset or just watch from the sidelines? Because this is really something that can be fixed with simple communication.

I would say so yeah, or just have them think about what the other person may be feeling based on the situation
