Baby

I’m so jealous of my best friends’ baby on the way.

I got pregnant Dec 2020. My best friend met my other friend (I introduced them) Nov 2021 and they ended up pregnant by Dec. almost exactly a year later to the day. I’m super happy for them, I’m really excited for the baby and I can’t wait to spoil it out of her and watch her and my son become bff's. But I can’t help but feel super jealous.

My parents are VERY religious and traditional & immigrants from a traditional country. When I got pregnant they were furious and very emotional. I had to hide the pregnancy from everyone I knew besides my close Circe and some family who found out. I couldn’t post it anywhere, nothing. I didn’t get to announce the pregnancy, make a registry, plan a shower, a gender reveal, I couldn’t afford new things, I just had a difficult time. I had to beg my mom to even let me post the announcement that i had my son. And she finally let me when he was 2 months old. Even though I was 20, I still depended on my parents for a lot and I had to listen to them or I’d risk having a roof over my head.

But my friends are total opposites. They announced the pregnancy in the cutest way, my friend just sent me her registry link, they’re having a HUGE shower, etc. and I feel so jealous about it. I would never ever tel them I feel this way. I wouldn’t dare take away the joy the same way it was taken from me. I love them both so much and I’m glad they’re having this baby together. But I just can’t help the way I’m feeling and I feel guilty about it 😞

...****************...

I have a kid with a man who was in a long term relationship with another woman. He convinced me that they only stayed together because they depend on each other financially. I was really dumb to believe him and I feel horrible about it. When I look at my child, it feels like a constant reminder of my actions. I was 19 when I met his dad but I knew good and well that I was doing something wrong. They’re still together now and I’m still in love with him. I feel like I should tell her everything but I’m worried it’ll just backfire and I’ll look even more stupid. What should I do? He told her I was a 1 night stand but I was with him for about a year before i got pregnant. He had told me he’d leave his gf for me in the upcoming January when his lease ended but I ended up pregnant right before that and he ignored me entirely. Idk why I’m in love with him, he’s a horrible person. And I am too. Just wanted to get this off my chest cause no one in my life knows the full story.
