It was a colleagues last day on Friday (as she is leaving to go traveling). I have recently announced that I'm pregnant (pfb)

Colleague was asking me about the future, due date/scans/maternity leave etc and I asked her about where exactly she was going to travel to. I said to her -

"I'd have love to have done something like that, but I guess I chose love over travel"

Apparently this was a smug remark?

Aibu to think it wasn't?

I agree with Guitargirl

Floggingmolly · 16/06/2014 22:43

Bitchy and patronising. Implying she's only reduced to going on her holiday of a lifetime because she hadn't the opportunity to choose love, like you did.
Yeah, right Hmm. Touch of the green eyed monster in there too, I shouldn't wonder.

Helen to be fair everything I posted was true Grin

have you seen the OP anywhere?

losingmybelt · 16/06/2014 22:51

I don't think you meant it in a smug way, but agree it could have come across as a little bit smug.

She might be the one who ends up ''having it all''
Sees the world AND finds love, and then decides to have babies.

Op - if you are there - please come back and expand a little. What were you actually trying to convey?

dexter73 · 16/06/2014 23:04

Tbh Gordy even if the op is genuine she is hardly likely to come back after 200 odd posts telling her how smug, bitchy, nasty, cruel etc. she is.

well she did ask Hmm

I do think it was an odd choice of first post ever on Mn but it takes all sorts

At least she didn't mention typical biscuits Biscuit

I don't think the OP needs to come back, she explained herself in the original post. If she tried to explain herself more, she would probably be criticized for refusing to accept the unanimous verdict of the internet.
