One of my best friends from college had split up with her husband and moved out. About a month later she found out she was pregnant again, and now she and her husband are trying to work things out. It's a volatile relationship and I think he's emotionally and verbally abusive. As much as I want to be happy for her, I'm not. I feel like she's further trapping herself and her daughter.

I think you're right- it does add a new dimension and not necessarily a friendship-ending one. One of my other friends has a baby and she's the same as ever. I'm just worried that my friend who's expecting will become even less interested in maintaining her friendships based on how she's been since she's gotten married. Makes me happy for her and her husband, but also sad for our waning friendship. Life steps in, I guess. Thank you for commenting, Erin.
