Today, I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in a while, but I had heard she was pregnant. I rubbed her belly and asked when she was due. She slowly backed away, giving me a weird look and said, "Two months ago." FML

Why does everyone just assume we're not close friends? She's actually one of my best friends. I hadn't seen her in a while because I was out of the country and I knew she would be ok with me rubbing her belly because with her first pregnancy she always wanted me to touch her belly. It would've been awkward if she hadn't burst out laughing. We ended laughing so hard at my stupidity that we cried.

You havent seen them in a while but felt the urge to rub their stomach?

I find it a little weird how people assume it's alright to touch a pregnant woman's stomach, especially without asking. You wouldn't just touch someone's stomach randomly, why do it when they're pregnant?!

aaw, but you should have known, so YDI

Sure, OP will use her extra magical psychic powers and predict her friend isn't pregnant.

And THIS is why my husband and I will be using a capacitor and some conductive metal paint on a shirt. Touching me without permission will be a shocking experience. HANDS OFF without asking first.

I think you forgot that the normal American custom is to shake hands.

If you hadn't seen her in a while, what makes you think it's ok to just walk up and rub her belly? And I thought I was an awkward person.

Why do some people instantly assume that if you're pregnant (or they think you're pregnant) they can touch you're body without permission?

I wish guys were treated the same! rub our penis and say good job!

I would have covered with, "Oh, I was wondering why you didn't look pregnant!" But also, I probably would have asked before just rubbing her belly.
