Right now, she's going to need her friends. Don't abandon her just because you're worried about YOURSELF. If you're that upset about her being with your ex, then talk to her about how you're feeling.

sp4rklingr4in answered Wednesday October 26 2005, 2:22 am: You definately forgive her. She really needs a friend now, more then ever. Being pregnant at 17... that really sucks. Try imagining yourself in her shoes. I'm sure that she's incredibly sorry for sleeping with your ex, and that she's regretting it at this very moment. Even though you both promised to not date eachother's ex's, I don't think that it's something to get that mad over. She's already payed the price of her sins; you should be there for her as a friend.

in summary: help the poor girl out and ignore the background info.

naimee answered Tuesday October 25 2005, 10:43 pm: You shouldn't be her friend again. You would get a bad name, my friend was in your position before & luckily she got out of it before it was too late. People always talked crap about her as well as her friend who was pregnant saying that they both were whores & probably go out and have sex with each other to earn money. It was pretty stupid seen as my friend was still a virgin.
But, she ALSO gets pregnant by your ex-love?? That's stupid!! She's a fool. You should definitely NOT be her friend again. =P You'll probably be better off without her!
