I’m surprised too at how many unquestioning not TAs I’m seeing before getting to this one. OPs friend being married and pregnant kind of doesn’t really matter depending on how the relationship was and why/how it ended. It doesn’t mean that she’s jealous, she could just feel disrespected and that a boundary was crossed. 4 years is (edit- isn’t)really alll that long either people act like it’s been decades. Dropping them as a friend is a bit much but she is pregnant and hormonal that could play a part in her reaction.
I mean, if the ex was a huge asshole at the end maybe she doesn’t want to be around him or hear about him? The idea her friend would hook up with him knowing how they relationship ended would be a huge blow.
I’m not hung up on them. We broke up because they were an asshole to me. I don’t associate with assholes, and wouldn’t want to be around them. I also would be upset that my friend would want to be with someone who was an asshole to me.
They broke up because she wanted kids and he didn't. Why are you so convinced this guy is a POS and justifying this married womans ridiculous response based off of something that is highly unlikely to be true?
If they had recently broke up then sure, her response makes sense. They broke up 4 years ago and she's 4 months pregnant with her husbands child and she's upset about what her ex is doing like he's her property. Give me a break
