My best friend is on the verge of breaking up with her DP. This is the 5th break up in the past three years with lots of ups and downs during the times that they're together.
It's my birthday this week and she had arranged to take me out for lunch yesterday, but cancelled as she thought he wanted to talk to her about things (in the end, he didn't, he went out for the whole day). I then spent about an hour yesterday on the phone counselling her as he still hadn't come home.
This morning she asked if she could pop round later for a chat. I haven't replied yet but I just can't handle dealing with this today. For info, I'm also 8 months pregnant and trying to get ready for imminent baby arrival and feel like she needs to get used to dealing with this without me, given that I won't have time for this when the baby arrives.
AIBU? and a bad friend? How much of yourself do you give to friends when you're exhausted but you know they're struggling too?
