I may have opened a can of worms...my bad!
I was friends with W all through high school and afterwards, she was a bridesmaid in my wedding. It was a bit of a one-sided friendship near the end, I did alot more for her than she did for me. It started to fall apart after she stopped dating one of DH's friends, but she kept hanging out with all his roomies. I made the comment that I thought that these dudes were being disloyal to their friend by hanging out with her. Over the next few months we saw each other less and less. Eventually she stopped taking my calls, even when I was calling to sort things out (as I had NO CLUE why she was so angry). People around me chalked it up to jealousy as she had always been envious of me. It finally came to a head one day when my sis went in to pay her utility bill where W worked and W flew into this tantrum and vented at my sis about me, totally NOT cool. That was about 5 years ago and we haven't talked since.
Well, W is now expecting a baby, something she has desperately wanted since she had a m/c when she was 23. I am really, truly thrilled for her. She ran into my sis this weekend and told her all about it - no doubt cause she *knows* my sis would tell me.
I sent W a short email this afternoon letting her know how happy I was for her and wishing her the best.
After I sent it, I instantly regretted it. I just know she's gonna read into it to mean something more than what it is. I am bracing myself for her rath. She's, sadly, not a very happy person. I have no interest in being friends with her again, but I thought since we had soooo many talks about this stuff, that it was considerate to wish her well.
