TTC is destroying my friendship

Heather Marie • Just TTC over here & passing the time by supporting my fellow women in everyday life. 💪🏻

I’ve known my best friend for about 20 years. We’ve literally been cemented in each other’s lives from grades school to college roommates and even maid of honors. Having said this, it only made sense to start the baby making journey together. The idea of being moms at the same time and having playdates was just too adorable.

However, instead of bringing us together, it’s tearing us a part to the point where I think our friendship is blowing up in smoke.

Her and her wife have a different journey when it comes to baby dust. They’ve done the insemination a few rounds and <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> once. My husband and I just do it the old fashion way. In September, she got a positive and I was super supportive of her. Unfortunately, a month later, she had a miscarriage. After that, she has turned completely bitter and constantly ask me if I’m pregnant yet and even goes as far as to belittle me. She is a ICU nurse and I’m a teacher. She makes more money and has better things in life but none of this should matter. I’ve been ignoring her comments and tip toeing around the whole baby thing but it’s just devastating. If I were to get pregnant, I’d definitely keep it a secret from her.

I know the baby making experience is stressful and the fear of failure is real but I just never thought it would destroy our relationships as it has. My husband thinks stress brings out a person’s real personality.

I’m not really sure how to confront her about any of this. Please give me your advice.
