So I went to this party recently and while mingling with the rest of the guests. At my table there was this beautiful woman and her husband, we were making good conversation most of the night having a good time then my stupid ass told her congratulations

She didn’t look surprised or anything, she just sat there with a smile on her face, my colleague at the table was like "why are you congratulating her" I was like for the baby🤦🏻‍♀️ 😬🥹

She said, did you ask, or did you assume?

Yes! I assumed. She had gotten up like 3 times to use the restroom and get food and stuff and I kid you not, she looked 5/6ish months pregnant and her husband was super attentive getting her stuff and such. She wasn’t heavy, just a regular size but with the belly, only reason pregnancy came to mind.

I was very apologetic but I still feel like a terrible human being. I always hear people say don’t assume a woman is pregnant, it’s rude and insensitive. But I did just that cause I thought by the look of things there was no way she wasn’t expecting.

She laughed it off and said it was okay and that she already has two kids but it still breaks my heart cause I know how hurtful that must have been and I probably ruined a good night out for her.

I don’t care if she’s about to burst out triplets, if a woman doesn’t mention she’s pregnant. I will NEVER say anything.

This has been heavily weighing on my mind all day and can’t help but feel like a terrible human being.

Please don’t be me. Never assume a woman is expectant.
