Comparing Pregnancies
How do you deal with someone who won't stop comparing their pregnancy to yours and repeatedly tells you that your feelings arent justified because they had it worse?
My best friend had her baby boy in October of 2017. She didn't know she was pregnant at first and was violently ill for the first few months. She visited me and my husband in August, a couple weeks after our frozen embryo transfer.
We live in Vegas and she wanted to go downtown every day, wanted rides everywhere because (in her words) 'taking the bus just isnt the ideal situation for her and her son'. She doesn't have a license or I would have just lent her my car. I was exhausted. I didn't want to go out. She Also wanted to go to shows and bars, which I obviously wasn't up for.
Now every time we talk she tells me that I shouldn't have played the pregnancy card at only 6 weeks because she was so sick and she didn't even play the pregnancy card. I am insulted by the way she keeps saying this, and when I tell her that she says that I'm being sensitive and dramatic.
I'm almost ready to end this friendship because she simply cannot have a conversation with me without telling me how easy I have it because I'm married and because my pregnancy isn't as hard as hers was.
How do you cope? I love her to death but I hate the way she is talking to me.
