Mini Vent

I told one of my friends that I was pregnant.  I waited until last week to tell her because I hit 8 weeks and was just more comfortable with that.  We still aren't announcing it to the world.  Aside from our parents, siblings, my boss, and now my friend, you guys are the only other ones to know.  :)  I expressly told her that we weren't telling other people yet.  Can you see where this is headed?  She said she felt privileged that she'd be one of the few I told so early.

 So last night I was having dinner with her and she blurts out that she told someone else.  I wasn't even super upset just really disappointed and hurt.  Now if it was just some other random person I didn't know or her family, I wouldn't have minded as much.  She told someone else that I work with, whom I do not get along with and she knows we don't get along. This person is also the biggest gossip at work that I know. 

Now I really wish I hadn't told her but I can't change it.  I know it's not the end of the world.  And of course that's a risk you take when you tell someone a secret.  I'm just so hurt and needed to vent.

Re: Mini Vent

  • I am sorry. I know how much it is exciting to tell someone a secret, which is why I am glad I have you guys! I have been in the same position, and have stopped telling people secrets. I just have so little trust for people that aren't in my family.

  • Awh, that sucks. I'm sorry your friend didn't keep her mouth shut. Hopefully the girl that knows won't make a big deal out of it.

  • That sucks Michelle! Are you going to let the person who told how dissapointed you are by it? I would, maybe it will keep them from telling someone else's secret in the future.

  • Some people are so rude!  That is very private information that only you should share! I am sorry they did that to you.  Hold your head high.
  • I did tell her how disappointed I was.  I repeated that we were only telling a select few as it's still fairly early and a lot can happen at this point.  She apologized several times and said she would tell the other person not to say anything.  But to me at this point that cat is out of the bag so to speak. It just makes me agree with Alyssa that it's hard to trust others outside of family. 

     

    Edit:  I told my friend how disappointed I was.   I debated about emailing the girl I work with to let her know that I want this to be a secret.  We don't get along - there's a history there.  Occasionally we'll run into each other at work and we both keep it civil.  I'm hoping she does keep it to herself.  I'm worried that if I confirm I know she knows that it will spur her to spread it around since she doesn't like me and she knows I don't want people knowing. If that makes sense.

  • It does make sense.  I guess I wouldn't say anything to her.  IF she tells people, she will look like a jerk all on her own.
  • I wouldnt say anything to her at this point. For all you know she could be totally bitter that your pg and she's not. I'd just let her stew in and it and dont let her see you down. If you dont get along thats probably what she wants to see.
