Your friend is not mentioning it because she knows you would be there in a minute & she doesn’t want you to feel bad - so your friend is trying to be respectful of your feelings. Just let it go & enjoy seeing each other next time you get together.

It was a couple weeks ago when out for coffee with my friend that I asked again what they were doing, and she was firm that they weren’t doing a shower.

Just now I was butt dialed and heard my friend and her daughter in what could only be described as them actively and currently decorating some space for a baby shower, with them clearly speaking orders to others in the background. I am ashamed to say I eavesdropped for a couple minutes and then hung up.

I am so upset and hurt, but more importantly, I don’t know what to do!

Congratulations! You just saved $100 on a gift you are not gifting now.

Honestly, we have zero issues. We spoke just this week and she didn’t mention having any other big plans this weekend. They were clearly speaking about a baby shower, and I clearly heard her DD. Of course it could be someone else’s shower, but what are the chances?

I would think the chances of that are much higher than your best friend leaving you out of a baby shower.
