“Friend” texting MY husband how awful I am.

Sarah

Okay so long story short, we have friends who are also married, they’ve been really good friends to us but they can be judgmental and rude and my husband and I usually lets it slide.

The wife invited my husband and I swimming and I’m pregnant and I feel like my body is awkward now and don’t have a good swimsuit that fits me anymore so I declined and so did my husband. She told me that just because I’m pregnant doesn’t mean I can’t live. I agreed with her and assured her I was living, I just don’t want to go swimming.

The next day, we are volunteer firefighters and we got a call for a grass fire. I tagged along but I only gave out water bottles, sat in the AC of the truck and waited for my husband to return. I was no where near the smoke, and again I was sitting in the AC drinking my own water. I shot a text in our group chat of the four of us how I was excited to be at the grass fire even though I wasn’t doing anything. And I proceeded to say I was living because of what I was doing. She took great offense to it and thought I was being rude to her because she “can’t do anything” because of her newborn. She proceeded to exclaim how I wasn’t being careful and how i shouldn’t have even gone and how could I do that but not go swimming. I told her I didn’t want to go swimming, again. Anyway, this started a great big ordeal. A couple days pass and she’s texting my husband privately about how negative I am and how awful I am to him. I believe that’s crossing real boundary and completely disrespectful. So I today I broke off my friendship with them and said because I felt real boundaries had been crossed because I’m sure she wouldn’t like t if I texted her husband awful things I think about her. She legit was basically telling my husband he needs better. He defended me through it all but my feelings are hurt because I lost what I thought was a friend. And I feel like sometimes I can’t talk to my husband about my hurt feelings because it overwhelms him and he freaks out. (He’s seeking help with that). But it causes me to stay in a rut. I just needed to vent 😩
