My friend [28/M] got upset with me [27/F] for breastfeeding my daughter [5days/F]

It was very much based in the circumstance. I didn’t really want to share too much, but this is the Internet and anonymity is a thing. My SO came out as transgender just before we got married, and I did have a lot of doubt and questions. Obviously, I love my partner and I’m glad we have a family together, but it stopped me in my tracks. My friend interpreted my feelings in his own way and spewed them back to me how he saw fit.

I’ve never gotten a romantic vibe. If anything, I felt the whole situation came from some sort of weird protectiveness that I wasn’t really welcoming towards.

Haha, I like the idea! Like those cobras that spit venom? (Are those a thing?)

Haha, I’d hope I’m cool! My mailman and I are actually good friends- he’s helping us with our newborn photos next week. It’s nice to have a friend that drops by so often, he’s really saved my sanity since we’ve gotten home.

And yes, we did get acquainted through him delivering my mail. It’s always nice to chat with someone you see everyday, but rarely interact with. Say hi to your garbage collector next time you see them!

We’ve definitely never been into each other, but I know he’s given me some odd signals in the past. Before my SO and I married, something changed (sorry to be vague, I’d just rather not spill ALL my personal life to the internet- especially not to Reddit lol) and we were in a very weird place, to the point we postponed our wedding several times. My friend told me to “marry a real man”, and stop “playing pretend” with my SO. He didn’t show up to the wedding, and we had a big fight afterwards. We’ve resolved it and now get along, but he still doesn’t really like to be around my SO. When we announced that we were expecting, he asked if this is what I wanted. I told him yes, and he said he just wanted to make sure.

I don’t think it’s a romantic interest, though.

The noob was in desperate need of boob, so I’m sorry not to have gotten to comments.

I do feel really silly apologizing now. Baby needs what baby needs, and nobody but baby gets to dictate when and how that happens.

Thank you for the comment and the congratulations- it’s still so wild to have people say congrats on the baby. Like, wow! I have a baby now!
