Dramatic friend

I feel like the worst friend ever but i feel so worn out!!

Ive been friends with this lady for about 2 years. She was the boss of my old job and we stayed in touch after i left. She listened alot when i went through a bad breakup last year and gave me a shoulder to cry on.

We were never particularly close but good friends id say. Recently she has been acting in a way i can only describe as manic (grew up with a BD mother). She keeps buying me gifts, constant arranging of plans, keeps telling me she loves me (were not that close). I grew concerned about her when a couple of weeks ago she met a guy she really liked. She sent me a message telling me how well it was going and that she thought he was the one. I was genuinely happy for her until she revealed she had met him just twice... she was concerned about why he wouldn't met her mother on their third meeting...

I tried to give her a bit of advice about taking it slow. I know the guy in question and just a few months ago broke up with his long term partner. She wrote him poems and drew him pictures and kept asking to meet up. He kept saying he was working late.

She has now told me she definitely thinks shes having his baby...

I cant cope with the drama. Aibu to ask for ways to help her whilst keeping my own sanity??

I have a couple of friends like this - I've had to phase them out. I enjoyed their friendship but it was just too much for me. My life is much more enjoyable without the drama!

Back away slowly. And be kind but honest about this guy.
