I have a few questions regarding friends.I have good friends but there are some where they kind of start a competition mode.
Like for instance I didn't know hindi very well ,so when i used to speak initially i used to make a lot of grammatical mistakes but with the help of some nice friends who encouraged me I am very good at it now,but there was a certain friend(say friend A) who used to keep making fun though she too wasn't too good at hindi but i went past her and now I speak fluent hindi.She used to put me down in front of other people,she hates my cooking ,won't believe it even when I wash my vessels she finds fault in that.
Then after 2 yrs I started hitting her back in the same language that she used.The basic end result is we only meet up in parties and they have stopped calling us over to their place and another fact being that she doesn't do that with anybdy else but me.I am sad that we are treated very shabbily ,I don't know if there lies some fault in me too but people find her more approachable than me.She does have lots of friends too inspite of her nature(inc her husbands).I love friends I have few but good friends.I love making more friends.
Then another friend (Say B) she was a very good friend until the part where I got pregnant (We are a set of 3 very good friends) Accidently one of them came to know it because she has a kid and because I had thrown up at her place so it was unavoidable and she immediately knew.But we hadn't even told our parents yet and so we wanted to keep it under wraps till a month or 2 had passed by,and then we told my other friend (B) and she fought with me saying that I betrayed her and never told her and she has completely stopped talking to me,basically she told me that she is angry with me because I didn't tell her as soon as I came to know about it.I find it very immature and told her that it was nothing personal and it was something that we had to tell in our own time,but she has never been happy for us.She herself had done the same thing she told everybody else but us ,but we though that maybe she didn't want to tell us and she wasn't comfortable with us and we were just happy for her (it went into a miscarriage for her).
I don't know why people have such high expectations from us even though they don't and they also do the exact same things that we do when the need arises.
Ho do I tackle this friend.I like her a lot,we have had really good times and I don't want to lose her.
P.S. There are many such issues that she has kept from us and we would come to know from somebody else,but only in this case is when we saw her true color.She says that she considered me to be her best friend and how could I do it.I don't knwo if she is upset about the fact that I didn't tell her or because I got pregnant.
