[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would a) wait until you’ve passed the 3 month mark (or whatever point after that you’re comfortable sharing), and then b) tell her over text so that she can have her reaction in private, and c) give her space afterwards if she needs it. For the text, I would say something along the lines of “Hey, I have some news to share. Bob and I are expecting. I wasn’t sure how to tell you because I know you and Tom struggled.” DON’T apologize. DON’T say you weren’t even trying. DON’T go on about how this must be hard for her etc. Just tell her and acknowledge briefly you get it might be hard to hear, then follow her lead after that on what you share. And understand that she may back off from the friendship for awhile and it has nothing to do with you. [/quote] Maybe a text is a good idea, but please don’t write one the way it was suggested with the cringe inducing and weird beyond belief words “you and Tom struggled.”. No one wants to hear that.[/quote]
