This reminds me of "drama couples" we seem to have in the lesbian community. Put short & sweet this is a couple that remains a couple but often breaks up with each other for short periods and gets a third party (in this case, you) involved that they can fight over. The one involved with the third person typically loves to tell horror stories of their so-called ex and make the person they're cheating with feel they're rescuing the partner. This creates drama which is the glue of their (the actual couple) relationship and they realize how much they love and want each other. This can range from like one who flirts with others to make her girlfriend jealous (thus going through the process in a single night) to those who take months to go through it (but like the one nighters, they do it over and over again).
In short, if they're pretty much doing the same thing then you are an accessory that they're using to keep their relationship strong (as they require drama). Neither one is interested in you, only in using you to bond with the other.
Why do some people require drama? As I understand it some need it because they always expect it anyway and feel extremely nervous until the "foot drops" and so they make the foot drop themselves. Others just need an extreme poke to feel their emotions, like feeling they're about to lose their lover (or be lost) to feel love and appreciation.
