Her Husband Asked Her To Hangout With His Friend’s Depressed Girlfriend, But She Doesn’t Like The Woman And Doesn’t Think The Depression Is Her Problem
When this woman’s husband became friends with Don, he asked if she could get acquainted with Don’s girlfriend, Cindy.
She and Cindy happened to be going through pregnancies at the same time, and her husband said that he would love for them to be able to have friendships with other couples.
Even though she’s an introvert and is pretty selective about who she hangs out with, she decided to appease her husband and get together with Cindy. However, she wasn’t too interested in trying to form a friendship with Cindy in the first place.
“The first couple of times I hung out with her, I actually really did enjoy myself. After that, it became an annoyance because every single time I saw her, it was always the same conversation. She would start off with, ‘No baby yet?’ and then would proceed to get annoyed with her children and talk about their flaws. Right in front of them, I might add,” she said.
Understandably, this was uncomfortable for her to witness, and she didn’t appreciate Cindy’s behavior.
From then on, she didn’t want to hang out with Cindy anymore. They clearly didn’t feel the same way about being mothers since Cindy made it clear that she didn’t like her own children, while she loved her children and enjoyed being around them.
Two weeks ago, she had her baby.
Despite not wanting Cindy to meet her child in the first place, once again, she went against her intuition in order to make her husband happy.
So, she and her husband traveled to see Cindy and introduce her to their baby.

The entire time during the visit, Cindy was sobbing, expressing that she was sick of being pregnant and wanted to have her baby now. She acknowledged that this was a completely reasonable feeling to have during a pregnancy.
“Again, she started complaining about her kids because her youngest child, 9, was complaining about something food-related, and it touched her out. When we left, I made a mental note that this was simply not my type of person. I’ve voiced this to my husband, and he understands because he doesn’t really like her, either, but his buddy insists that right now we are getting the ‘miserable Cindy’ and that she usually isn’t like this,” she explained.
Recently, while she was hanging out at home, her husband called her while he was working, and he requested for her to go visit Cindy. Apparently, Don had reached out to him and said that Cindy has been suffering from severe depression as of late.
When Don talked to her husband, he told him that he was deeply concerned about Cindy’s mental health.
“He thinks some company and baby snuggles might help her. I told my husband that, respectfully, this woman’s depression is not my problem and that maybe she should look into some therapy options because I’m not a therapist, and my baby won’t be used as a crutch, either,” she shared.
However, her husband pleaded for her to hang out with Cindy again, but she doubled down on her rejection of his request. In her view, Cindy’s mental well-being wasn’t her business or her issue.
While her husband said that he could see her point of view and accepted it, he told her that he was hopeful that she would be more open-minded so that there wasn’t tension between him and Don. Her husband doesn’t want to experience issues in the friendship.
