On Thoughtlessness

Tonight, an acquaintance who is at my house with some frequency this summer said to me "you're STILL not pregnant?" Humiliated, I excused myself from the table and joined my husband in the backyard where he was grilling dinner for everyone. This isn't the first time this particular person has said something negative or insensitive about my inability to get pregnant- and in spite of the fact that they are a longtime friend of my husband's he was ready to ask them to leave. Once I pulled myself together, I decided that it wouldn't be worth the drama- and ultimately isn't who I am. 

What would you do in my shoes? Would you speak up? Or take the higher road and just ignore it?

Until next time,

Grace
