WIBTAB/AITAH for ditching my friend for getting pregnant?
29F have been besties w my friend Cyn 28F for about 15 years. Super close we did everything together. Love all the same things like concerts, festivals, hiking n so on. She’s been on and off w this pos for years. Abusive, manipulative, aggressive etc. I had her back no matter how draining it was & boy was it exhausting. They broke up, he got together with this girl we’ll call her Ann. Ann is pregnant now. I’m like perfect she can finally stay away & move on properly. NOPE LOL. She stopped sharing her location w me one day and I was like oh that’s sus & she played it off whatever.
I worked w a mutual friend who loves gossip & told me she went to a musical festival w him (September) & I LOST IT. Told the group not to say anything to me & basically avoided me. I’m all for chopping it up and hashing shit out so we did. Now October is here & we’re shopping for our Halloween photo shoot & she’s being weird tailing me & texting I immediately knew she was chatting w him & I’m like “dude what are you doing he’s got a pregnant gf at home” like wtf she told me she can’t help that she loves him she’s not giving up & I just could not respect it at all. I was pulling away from her atp. We do our photoshoot & like a week later she’s messages me “you’re gonna hate me” sent me a pregnancy test picture & I was gasted in my flabbers. Ironically I was having sympathy symptoms & thought I was pregnant, I wasn’t thankfully. I STILL did my best to be there even tho I was so against this. He begged her to get an abortion even tho they planned this baby. Tracked her period & everything, now he wants to back out of his responsibilities. She confessed how scared she was he would try and take the baby blah blah all that bs & I’m giving her advice & comforting her that I’m here to help. By December it was done.
I admit I was kind of cold to her I couldn’t respect her or look at her the same after doing this especially to this innocent girl Ann. She was adamant about herself & the choices she made justifying it that she loved him & deserved to try for the family she always wanted. We were done, had a huge fight & had each other blocked so she went through her pregnancy without me. AITA for not standing by her???
