When you’ve let them know you’ve had a miscarriage.

I could be being totally unreasonable here. My friend had a baby and we’d arranged a time for me to come round to meet baby. I was 8 weeks pregnant and unfortunately I started to miscarry the baby several days before I was due to go round to see her. The day I was meant to go round I sent an honest text to say what had happened and that I was attending hospital that day (for medical management). She read the text and nothing was sent back.

Over a week later I got a response to say “so sorry, I read your text and forgot to reply. That’s a shame.”

I didn’t respond as I just didn’t know what to say back to her. I already have two children and have had other friends who’ve had miscarriages and I don’t think that would have been the response I’d have chosen to send them if the shoe was on the other foot, not would I have waited that amount of time to send a reply.

AIBU to just let the friendship slide l?

Bloody hell, brutal response! Is she usually so insensitive?

Awful really but trying to find reasons, maybe she’s struggling with her own stuff atm, exhausted from the baby, pnd, other problems...?? i think I’d have to talk it through with her and let her know how much her reaction hurt you.

Sorry OP Flowers
