"I jokingly said, 'I'm so sorry. Let me know if you need a ride to the clinic'. Alice flipped out and called me an insensitive b****. I told her that I was joking but she wouldn't hear it and she ended up leaving. She hasn't responded to my texts and calls ever since."
Reaching out for advice, she continued: "Our other friends are staying out of it and don't want to give their opinions. I understand that my comment would come off as rude if I said it to a stranger but Alice knows me and this is how we joke with each other."
A lot of people on Reddit responded saying they agreed with Alice and that this woman has some serious making-up to do.
One said: "Not everything is a joke. She has tried for a baby for years and you couldn't give her a moment of earnest support and congratulations?"
Another agreed: "There are so many sweet things she could have said that were supportive but continued on in the joking theme. This is just sad."
A third person wrote: "There is a time and a place for jokes and this was not it. Infertility is no joke. My friend just had a baby with her boyfriend after trying for five years and having PCOS. She also suffered a miscarriage.
"It's not funny, it's not cute to make jokes like that and I don't blame her if she never wants to talk to you again."
