I'm not sure that's the right title for this but I don't know how to explain it in a shortened version. I'll try. My dp has been friends with this guy, I will call him Mark since they were at primary school. He met this lady who I'll call Lauren and straight away she was really over familiar with me. I liked her but she is younger than me and quite immature. They got married and he was best man. She made me bridesmaid. The two other bridesmaids were her closest friend and her sister. She was meant to order my bridesmaid dress from abroad but it never turned up. I was meant to pay for it on the proviso we could wear whatever we wanted but it really needed to match the others. Coming up to the wedding she admitted she thought she'd made a mistake and not ordered it so I had to go out to oxford street and buy the closest looking dress I could find costing me 85 quid! It has never been worn again so it irritated me spending all that money! Fast forward she has a baby. I lent her baby clothes I've never seen again as she passed them onto all get friends I thought at least they'll get used but I did find it annoying. The thing is everything you have done, every experience, illness anything that has happened she has done it, had it worn the t shirt a million times more or better than you have. When she discovered she was pregnant again she confided it was too soon she wasn't massively happy all the time she knew I was also trying and struggling and this really upset me. I have a condition which means it's challenging for me to get pregnant. She also says she has a similar thing yet she is getting pregnant then complaining about it! Her husband is a bit of a cheat too. Dp thinks I'm being unreasonable and can't understand why I dislike her so much. I agree that I have probably fixated a bit because I am a little bit jealous but my other friends are on second children and I'm really happy for them. I think i just can't stomach the woe is me attitude. I'd just like to see if I can try to change the way I am. DP is out buying a present for the new baby and he can't understand why I don't want anything to do with it. I don't want to be a bitch or anything but I'm struggling.
