Is it just pregnancy hormones? Do I even have a right to feel the way I do? Would you feel hurt too?

So my best friend is going through a move to get her dream house! Her and her SO and their 2 sons have to move in with her SO’s mom for just a few months until they are settled into their new home, I have been SOOOOOOO excited because she lives 1 hour away(2 hour drive there and back) now and when we did hang out I do all of the driving for us, she doesn’t have a car and I’m 8 months pregnant. With them doing this move, for a few months she will only be 20 minutes from me. I haven’t hung with her lately because it hurts my body so bad to drive so far now and her kids were sick, I wasn’t wanting to risk myself. I recently got the vaccine after her kids had felt better, so I’m more than ready to see her again.

Last night she confessed to feel a bit down and naturally I asked her what was going on…well she told me she’s going to miss her friend and said to me “I’m not trying to say you’re a bad friend or anything but…” and proceeded to tell me that because I’m “picky” on hanging with people lately because of Covid that she really needed this girl time with her friend but it made her realize how lonely she’s going to be once she moves into her SO’s moms house.

It really hurt my feelings…I’m not “picky” I’m being safe and I had set boundaries for what I had felt comfortable with for a few. I also felt hurt with how she said she would be so lonely considering I’ve been ecstatic to have her closer to me and I’ve even been showing this to her, we get to see each other more. It made me feel as if she’s not as excited to be near me, she’d rather be closer with this other friend. They are literally moving back to the same area right next to this friend again within a few months. I’ve been nothing but excited and supportive of this move and for them to finally have their dream home. After this conversation last night it sort of set me off and I’m getting weird vibes now.

Do I even have the right to feel this way? Is it just pregnancy hormones making me feel this way? Would you feel hurt?

Y: wow! I never thought of it like that you are right.
