Friendships often rely on clear communication, but not everyone takes that responsibility seriously.

After a long string of last-minute cancellations by her pregnant friend, one woman finally grew fed-up with her friend’s flakiness.

And the ensuing confrontation had been a long time coming.

Read on for the full story.

AITA for scolding my pregnant friend?

My (28F) friend (33F) is pregnant. Before her pregnancy, she would often forget to cancel meetups.

Recently, it’s become even worse, and it’s irritating.

Her friend shows absolutely no regard for her feelings or her time.

Often, she doesn’t even cancel until I ask: “Where are you? How long till you arrive?”

The last three times were like this.

She had already spent time and gas money to make these hangouts happen, but her friend still flaked.

The last of these three times, I drove an hour because she wanted to go there, and I messaged her.

She replied she couldn’t come because XYZ’s father died, and they had to go there. No problem. But from my understanding, they knew he died two days prior to the meetup.

So finally, she was done being polite.

So I scolded her a bit: “You know it’s not a problem to cancel, but it’s really rude to wait until the last minute or when I’m already there.”

Her friend didn’t take it well at all.

Since then, she’s not replied and made another friend tell me that I went too far and that I’m rude.

So, AITA?

She’s not wrong for expecting basic courtesy from a friend.

What did Reddit think?

It sounds to this commenter like this friend doesn’t value anyone else’s time but her own.

Maybe it’s time to let this friendship go for good.

Her friend is in the wrong, but at some point, she has to start recognizing the pattern.

This commenter really tells it like it is.

Someone needed to be honest with this woman, and in this instance, it was her.

Only time would tell if she’ll ever change her ways.
