So for whatever reason ppl think it’s OK to touch/rub a complete strangers tummy when they’re pregnant and some woman don’t mind ig bt I am a private introvert who was done with it one day… I was at Meijer store doing some shopping (21yrs old, now 41) and a complete stranger once again walked up,hand out, smiling hard asking how far along I am as making contact with my 8&1/2 month belly. I looked up with tears in my eyes ( I can cry on command especially w pregnancy hormones) and asked him what he meant ? He jerked his hand back, instantly looking worried and said we’ll you’re pregnant right? I said no(let the tears flow) and asked him why he would ask me that? He turned bright red lmao! And started stumbling over his words to apologize and left as soon as he could. A part of me felt bad bc of his reaction bt then I remembered he’s a stranger who thought he had the right to touch my body bc he assumed I was growing life inside and even though I was at the time it was not his. I hope he never touched another stranger the rest if his life pregnant or not.
