Other friends are suggesting I be a bit more sympathetic to the "friends" who are causing the issue..
Pseudofriend 1 - has pretty much cut off contact since I was about 12wks.. (am 24wks now) she did it steadily (stealthily??).. not returning calls or emails for a few days.. then longer.. then not at all.. I've tried to keep the contact there (as I know she really would like babies but Hubby not keen so I try to be sensitive to this) and not talk baby (I think it upsets her a bit ?) but to no avail.. I then heard that she said to another friend that she had stopped contact as we no longer had anything in common as I am no longer competing etc on my horse and would have nothing to talk about..
Pseudofriend 2&3 - launched a combined attack on me as I ate a chicken caesar salad!! I asked for more sauce and they gave me a two pronged lecture on how I am gaining weight (I have gained 10lbs so far) and how difficult it will be for me once the baby comes to loose it all.. and what will my OH be thinking about it all.. and this is why men stray "during this time" ...
I was .. in fact am still and refusing to talk to any of them until I've calmed down .. if that ever happens.. it's left me v weepy though..
AIBU and sulking ?? Other friends think that maybe I should read between lines of PF1 and not be cross and forgive PF's 2&3 as they have no kids and wouldn't know.. I think some fecking tact would be nice!!
BTW - non of these people have children..
Gaaaah!
