Yesterday i met a close friend in supermarket, havent seen her in months and she was with her ex who took money from her, broke her heart, and didnt tell her he was off to india for an arranged marriage, there was no love lost between us.
Anyway i stood talking to friend, she said 'arent you two going to say hello' so i said hello and he said
'hello mosschops nice to see youre holding yourself together' then sniggered
I didntvreally get what he was saying until frend laughed nervously and said 'oh hes referring to your emcs, hesctrying to have a sense of humour'
(for those of you who dont know i had a botched CS 3 years ago and my abdomen burst open and i had to catch what fell out, it left me very ill, and with PTSD).
So i said 'oh really i thought he was just being a prick' and wandered off.
She caught me further round and said she had told him off!

I couldnt get it out of my mind last night or today, so i text her and sad i was very offended, and would he have made a joke about a car crash or death of a family member or other traumatic event. I said please dont ever put me in a position where i have to see him again.

Just wanted to vent really and wondered what you all thought?

"So i said 'oh really i thought he was just being a prick'"

Loving your work! That's the thought of thing that would occur to me about half an hour later. YANBU.

YANBU and the only reason people are saying you are is because they're doormats who'd it up with this sort of thing, or are just saying you're being unreasonable because this is AIBU.

No, it wasn't your 'friend's' fault for running into you in the supermarket, but you can definitely ask her not to put the two of you in the same vicinity ever again.

YANBU.

He sounds not unlike my lovely friend who (knowing I had PTSD from a forceps delivery) banged on about how stretched and baggy I must be from having an instrumental delivery Hmm

She only shut up when I pointed out that you get stitched up again after an episiotomy, so in terms of being stretchy and baggy surely that's more likely to happen after two natural deliveries with no stitches like she had? Passive aggressive Smile

He was being a prick.

Given that she asked you to speak to each other which led to his twatty comment, I think YANBU to ask her not to put you in a similar position in future.

Nice work aberdeen Grin

zookeeper a 'daft comment' is 'what have you done to you hair'?
I am still on medication for PTSD and still have issues that i cant get over, not even close family or friends (people that i might talk with about it, i would never mention it to anyone else) would ever make a comment so insensitive.

My friend text back and said that he was a knob, and that she was surprised at what he said as when she initally told him he was shocked and disgusted at the hospital treatment i recieved Hmm

Highly insensitive at best, total cunt at worst. Your friend probably felt totally shit too. I know I would have. Good retort tho ;-)

zookeeper · 16/05/2012 16:01

well Moss you don't like him; can't help thinking if a friend had said that you'd have thought him insensitive but as it's this person you've taken particular offence.I feel more sorry for your friend tbh.

bobbledunk · 16/05/2012 16:05

His poor patients, she doesn't sound like much of a friend. Not worth bothering about really.

BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack · 16/05/2012 16:05

He sounds like a complete cunt but....she hardly put you in a position where you had to meet him, you both just happened to be doing your shopping at the same time. She obv felt bad because she told him off...not really much more she could have done hey!

BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack · 16/05/2012 16:06

Bobble out of interest why does she not sound like a good friend?

Ghoulwithadragontattoo · 16/05/2012 16:10

He sounds appalling. I would have as little to do with him as possible. Is your friend back together with the nobhead him?
