So, I went out to dinner with two of my sorority sisters from college last week. We are all pretty comfortable with talking about where we are in our family planning stages and two of us are currently TTC.
One of them asks me how things are going and I told her not so great, that I had just finished up a 75 day cycle. Well, she starts laughing and makes the comment "Wow, maybe you are in the early stages of menopause".
Umm, yeah, that's not really what I want to hear. And certainly not while you are laughing like it's the most hilarious thing you've ever heard. It really hurt my feelings, but I didn't have backbone to tell her so.
Just had to get that off my chest- thanks for listening.
Re: thoughtless comments
I'm so sorry!
I have just recently found myself aware of how I interpret thoughtless comments from other people. And then I realized, I probably said those types of things without even thinking about it before I was where I am today.
Don't be too hard on your friend. It kills me to think how insensitive I might have been in the past. She didn't mean it to be that way.
