A Friendship on the Rocks: The Fallout of a Baby Bombshell
In a whirlwind of drama, these college roommates found themselves at odds over an unexpected pregnancy announcement. As baby stuff began to replace beer bottles, they made a tough call to find a new place, leaving their pregnant friend behind. When the news broke, the reaction was explosive, with accusations of selfishness and betrayal flying. Could they have handled it better? Maybe. But with three months left on the lease, they believe they’ve left enough time for their friend to find a new home. The question remains: were they wrong to put their own comfort first?

NTA, but communication could have avoided this messy situation.

“NTA She has time to figure things out. It would have been good for her to know sooner but she still has plenty of time. I think she is fooling herself to think it was a reasonable expectation that you guys would be cool living with a baby. You didn’t have a baby and your lives are just not where hers is right now. You shouldn’t have to completely rearrange things because of her decision to become a parent. Did she think you guys were all going to be live in help? It is not selfish to not want to live with a child when you are young and childless.”
