Vent on non-preggo friend

I have a friend who I have known for years who just has issues to put it bluntly. She is not willing to acknowledge them so obviously she can't change...

She is soo passive aggressive and since I have been pregnant she seems to be getting worse. She is constantly making snarky remarks about being pregnant or life w/a baby but in reference to herself.

For example: She will say "I don't know what I would do if I got pg right now, I would lose my social life" or " I can't imagine never being able to sleep in again" Just weird random things but when she says it they are just SOO passive aggressive. I am not even phrasing what she says right b/c it is the kind of comment that you cant pinpoint and say something to her, she will just brush it off and act like I am over-sensitive. I am not good at coming back at her, I just come off as bitchy, lol. Its like she has mastered the art of being passive aggressive....

She just posted on FB "nothing will deter me more from getting pregnant than watching a childbirth video....shout out to all you moms I feel like I'm going to pass out" I mean ***!? Why would she say that? I take it personally being that I am the FIRST of our friends to be pg Chat Icon

I commented back "Yeah, if that is gonna make u pass out, you should stick to insurance ;) " I wanted to say "Good, we don't think you should reproduce anyway" but that is just mean lol

I know the answer is just to not be her friend and I see things heading in that direction anyway even though we have been for years...me getting pregnant put the final wedge between us. She is coming to my shower next month so I have to keep things cordial for now.

She has a good heart and is a nice person (even though sometimes it doesn't seem that way) but she just lacks cooth and has very low self esteem so she has to take digs at others, I honestly do feel bad for her.

There is not point to this post Chat Icon but I just have to vent on my annoying non-preggo, non-understanding, non-human friend.

What would you do?

Re: Vent on non-preggo friend

Ok. Im usually not the first person to think others are jealous/envious of me... BUT in this case it seems like she is.

Is she married? serious relationship? From the comments she is saying I think she is totally jealous of you. She says all those comments like, "I dont what I would do if I was preggo", etc. well SHES NOT.. YOU are, so why is she worrying??

I would keep the relationship to a minumum, you dont need any negative vibes right now.

I agree sounds like she might be jealous, jealous that your pg, jealous of the attention, and maybe jealous of how your life is going to change.

I would just keep your distance, its not like she would admit she is jealous, and if she really feels that way about your life after the baby than you really don't need her by your side.

No, she has mastered the art of dating losers, right now she is dating someone who is jobless, carless, and moneyless. Which could be ok, but he doesn't even try to make up for it (being thoughtful/creative) ..

I agree, I think she is jealous...I met my DH around the same time she met her ex and we both dated them for 3 years, then her relationship ended (he was gay, no joke) and mine obviously continued, lol. I think she ultimately wanted the same thing (marriage/kids) but would NEVER admit it...

I just wish she could be more straight forward and less passive aggressive if she is feeling a certain way b/c she is always insulting someone even if she doesn't mean to...

Its just so weird b/c all my other friends are so excited/happy and curious and with her she acts like pregnancy is weird.

The problem is she is part of a group of friends who I have known for 10+ years and I have to interact with her in some way...I think your advice is good, keep relationship to a minimum. But I really just want to beat her up Chat Icon Chat Icon j/k kinda
