Need some advice...

Need some advice...

So my best friend from college is TTC. Its been a few months and I know she is a little disappointed it hasn't happened yet. She lives out of state so I don't see her often, but we talk and gchat a lot.

Today she was asking me what to get a friend who is pregnant. I gave her some suggestions- but I didn't ask her how things were going for her regarding TTC.

Is it insensitive of me not to bring it up or ask her about it? I just don't want to push her or put pressure on her to talk about something she doesn't want to. But I don't want her to think I don't care....

Am I doing the right thing by not asking her about how its going? Or should I ask her?

Thanks.

I think you're doing the right thing. If she wanted to talk about it, she'd probably bring it up.

I was going to reply to this post yesterday but wanted to hear what other ladies said first Chat Icon ITA again with the two above PP's. I wouldnt really bring it up..if she wanted to talk about it she would mention it but once in a while it wouldnt hurt to find out how things are going to offer her your ear if she ever needs it.

Re: Need some advice...

I think it depends on how open she is about it.
If she's the type that's more comfortable talking about it, then it would be nice to ask. If she's more private and secretive about it, then I would let her bring it up.

I was more open to talking about it, so I never would have minded someone asking me about it. I actually liked when they did ask. Except, I have one friend who would ask me about it... and then totally ignore my answer... so I would just stop talking about it mid sentence and she didn't even notice. I never got why she even bothered to ask in the first place. That friend is also very into herself and talking about herself anyway. So I guess since the topic wasn't about her... she wasn't all that interested.
