DH and I have been married for 7 years. We grew up next door to each other and have known each other our entire lives - we started dating when I was 22 and married when I was 24. We have a 6yo son and a 2yo son and I am currently 5months pregnant with our soon to be dd. Ever since dh and I started dating, a couple of my "good friends" started acting a bit odd, saying that I changed, leaving me out of things - after we married and had the boys things didn't change all that much, though they seemed to be accepting of things. Now that I am pregnant with dd they have just gotten vicious. I just can't understand women! I really don't get the problem and I wish we could repair the friendship, but I just don't know. Anyone else have this experience once you and dh got together and/or started having kids? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

honestly, i have been trying to figure it out and i have been trying to talk to them about it for years - i was never in a real relationship until dh and i started dating and things got serious fast bc we knew each other for so long - i guess i was always the go-to friend bc i didn't have a bf so they knew i'd always be around to help them out or do things with them. i guess i've just been questioning our friendships - if they were just using me to pass time or if this is more a jealousy thing since two of them aren't married and the other has been married for 6 years but no kids - i even talked to dh about it wondering if i was just paranoid and he noticed as well [ Reply | More

you just have to take the position that if they are your true friends they will come around, and if they dont want to be your friends, you dont need them in your life. that sort of thing is toxic [ Reply | More

I personally think that they have had 7 years to come around, and it is time to drop them. This is way too toxic to be dealing with when you're pregnant, especially if it is getting worse, not better. [ Reply | More
