Trying to stay positive

DH and I are absolutely thrilled that we are expecting, as is my family (he's not close with his so they don't know yet). And my best friend and her fiance were really happy for us... but now she's completely changed. When she first found out she was asking me questions and acted so excited, but a week or so later when we were discussing baby names she started calling me stupid. Now she's just completely cutting me out which is fine, I haven't made an effort to talk to her since the name calling. Last time we spoke she asked if I still wanted to be the Maid of Honor in her wedding since I was going to be fat (it's 2 months after my due date). I feel like this has become a toxic relationship, but at the same time we've been best friends for 10 years. I just don't know what I should do!

You both are going through a stressful time. She probably wanted to have all the shine for her wedding which is understandable, but not right. You are probably stressed and moody as well. My best friend is of 10 years too and we sometimes take our stresses out on each other. I would say don't take anything to seriously or make drastic decisions like not being in her wedding. Try to be supportive but make sure she knows you need positive support from her too!

I had a friend who's sister in law was like this. We found out that it was because she was afraid she was infertile. She found out that was a fact right after my friend announced her pregnancy, so it took her some time to come around. Don't know if this is a possibility, just a thought.

Thank you. I think she's also worried that we can't go drinking anymore, so she's kind of forgotten everything else we do...

That's horrible that she's acting that way... I'm sorry :( maybe she's just feeling a little left out cuz she thought her getting married should b the big "thing" going on right now but it still doesn't give her the right to put u down. I think maybe u should let her know how u feel about her making those statements and hopefully she will understand. Again sorry ur going thru this. I hope she comes around and everything works out for u
