Feeling: shocked

Reading/Watching: --

A lifelong friend of mine has recently given birth.

Except she didn't see fit to tell me, or anyone else, that she was pregnant. She came to my wedding, almost at full term, and smiled and took pictures, and said not a word.

I think I speak for the majority of our acquaintance when I say: "......?"

I'm just baffled. I am divided into thirds: one third wants to be so pissed that she never told me, especially when she was going through something this huge. One third wants to feel incredibly guilty for not picking up on something, for not giving her the opportunity to talk to me if she needed to, for making her feel like she had to go through this alone. And one third wants to fly to her side rightnowthisverysecond to be with her and talk with her and give her whatever she needs.

I'll think of a better way to explain later.
