To be genuinely angry at this comment

[Mybugslife]

Maybe I'm just over reacting with the pregnancy hormones etc but I was chatting to one of the other school mums who I know fairly well but I wouldn't really call her a good friend.
We were talking about the struggles in life and I was chatting about the many things that have happened to my DP and I. One of the major things was we lost our son at 21 weeks a year and a half ago. It was hard, obviously, but we have become a brilliant team and our relationship is stronger than I could ever imagine. We did however have couples counselling but it was never because we were ''make or break'' we just wanted to know how to communicate better with each other about the things that had happened to us.

She came out with 'I'm surprised you stayed together after all that, you can't be that happy if you needed counselling'

Aibu to be angry and upset that she assumes we are not happy, or ''surprised'' we are still together? Surely counselling is not only used if you are on the brink of breaking up? The thought has never even crossed our minds

If she's had counseling herself and said that, then her counseling wasn't very successful, was it? The point of counseling is to work things through until you are happy with the way life is going. And it sounds as if your counseling was successful.

I'd feel sorry for her, tbh. It must be sad to have gone through counseling and still be unhappy. And no one who is truly happy would have said such a rude and hurtful thing.

Thanks guys. You have helped me see that it may have just been that she didn't know what to say, and maybe I did over step the boundary and over share a little, she was sharing some personal info re. her counselling/ marriage so I think maybe that made me share a little more than I should have done.

I do think however that she probably over stepped the mark a little but I shouldn't be upset/angry about it.

The the poster who asked why I wasn't friends with her, I'm not actually sure why our relationship hasn't progressed into a friendship...good food for thought, maybe subconsciously I don't want a friendship with her?
Well I definitely don't now
