A friend of mine has recently done something which makes me feel physically sick. I am usually quite comfortable talking through difficult things, but this experience has made me really reconsider our friendship.

To cut a very long story short. Friend, lets call her Mildred, had a one night stand with a guy a vaguely know. They went out again a week later had sex. I know the guy has just come out of a ltr, so when Mildred asked for advice i said take it slow, etc, and tried to reiterate he might not be looking for a relationship.

Anyway he begins to ignore her. Cancelled plans everyday for 10 days. She keeps asking and eventually he tells her to leave him alone as he is not ready.

The next day she tells him she thinks shes pregnant. She adds all these friends to a Mildreds going to be a mummy group saying she MIGHT be pregnant . At this point im a little confused but don't say much. As i didnt send a message of congrats i get a separate message asking what is going on. I apologise saying was at work, and whether she had done test. She said that she had done test everyday for 2 weeks but all invalid ! She just knows she is pregnant but too early to tell.

She tells me her and this guy will now be moving in together, and that he will be there for her. Theyve picked a baby name. She has told him she lpves him (finds it weird he hasn't said it back). Hmm i think, bit strange but whatever.

She then announces she might be pregnant on Facebook, along with bump pic. I get asked why i havent liked it. Again in work.

She meets me and has bought a pregnancy cushion, is waddling and cradles the bump. Still no positive test.

I am called a bitch when i ask if she wants to take a test with me. She says i think shes a liar like this guy. Guy is annoyed with mildred she tells me because Mildred wouldnt take a pregnancy test when offered. Mildred also says that this guy wouldn't let her stay at his.

Next thing i hear that she has gone docs on her period for a pg test with this guy. Guy flips and tells her to leave him alone as dr says she is not pg.

She then posts on fb that her period has come and that this is the hardest thing ever. That she doesnt want to talk about the loss she has experienced.

Alot of my friends have had miscarriages. But i think at three weeks, with no missed period, no unprotected sex, there was no pregnancy. It sits uncomfortably with me that she is trying to allude to this.

She has now posted a private convo with the guy in quesrion where she professes her love and he quite calmly says he doesnt feel the same way. She has captioned it as "dont love them til they love you"

I dont know why but i feel so uncomfortable arohnd her now. I have no words. What could this behaviour be a sign of? Why would anyone invite facrbook attention to all this????

Any advice appreciated

Sounds needy and desperate - very strange - controlling and plain weird tbf

Thesearmsofmine · 03/08/2018 17:25

Mildred has issues, that is very odd. If she is a close friend I would try to talk to her, if not then I would leave well alone.

Omzlas · 03/08/2018 17:27

Nothing to contribute apart from

  • it's odd and sounds like attention seeking behaviour
  • distance yourself - I would, sounds like a shitstorm is gathering and I wouldn't want any part of it
formerbabe · 03/08/2018 17:29

She sounds very unwell.

LanceStatersGold · 03/08/2018 17:30

I think this is quite simply a matter of her thinking if she was/faked a pregnancy then the man in question would suddenly be more interested in an actual relationship and she thought if other people engaged in the delusion it would add it credibility. She’s gone beyond over the top.

She obviously isn’t cut out for ons and wanted this to be more than it is.

PanPanPanPing · 03/08/2018 17:32

It sounds as though she needs some serious help.

And that poor guy needs to run like the wind.

LuxuryTime · 03/08/2018 17:32

Errrr... I would simply never speak to someone this deranged ever again.

AWomanIsAnAdultHumanFemale · 03/08/2018 17:33

Distance yourself is the best advice you will ever get regarding this woman. She has Issues!

Mari50 · 03/08/2018 17:38

No, I’ve never experienced this kind of thing. A friend did fake cancer many years ago to guilt the object of their love back into a relationship though.
It’s not good ....

longwayoff · 03/08/2018 18:32

This is very sad and she needs professional help. Clearly she doesn't think so tho, so distance yourself. There will be many more problems along the way.

Uhuhhoney · 03/08/2018 18:38

Her parents have now added me on Facebook.

A status appeared last night saying unloyal friends deserve hell.

What is it? Mauchasusens? Ive never been at a loss for words before but i can't say anything. It's hard because in my eyes were not that close, but she thinks and talks as if we are. It's like she has made this my responsibility

So she's gestating a giant turd? Hope she doesn't have to have it by C Section Grin. Fucking lunatic and an embarrasment to womb owners the world over.

AtLastAPlan · 03/08/2018 18:44

Delete her, and her parents. This is craziness, for whatever reason, and if you are available to her she will drag you down into the mire with her. Delete, ignore, don't stay open to this madness. You can't help her.

Tutulafromage · 03/08/2018 18:46

Weird attention seeker

NameChangeUni · 03/08/2018 18:48

She definitely has issues, like beyond insecurity to the point of being deluded. You know you’re effed up when you start to believe your own lies.

I mean maybe she did ‘feel’ pregnant, but ALL of her tests were negative so it’s not like she miscarried at all.

Rebecca36 · 03/08/2018 18:54

Sounds like a candidate for the JK Show.

Really desperate. I'll bet she isn't pregnant. Probably feels a bit used.

Nothing you can do about it I'm afraid except suggest she is making a fool of herself and to be more cautious next time she meets a man she fancies.

She's totally unhinged. Her parents sound very nasty and enabling of her abnormal behaviour. Why did you accept their friend request(s)?! Block them all and move on.

Uhuhhoney · 04/08/2018 12:30

Oh i didnt accept they sent me messages however.

She turned up to my partners place of work asking if i was ok this morning. I feel really horrible ignoring her but this drama is next level

CaveyLass · 04/08/2018 12:33

Don’t get sucked into her drama. She probably has a personality disorder and needs some help.

EverlastingGodstopper · 04/08/2018 13:31

Is your friend called Lorna Morello, OP?
