I'm not married yet, we have an open relationship. I was getting a test from the pharmacy because of a pregnancy suspicion when my gossiping neighbor saw me. She kept quiet, but I felt like I understood from her looks. Now it's just a matter of time before everyone in the neighborhood knows about this. How am I going to get out of this situation?
When the neighbor looks like that, gossip will come out anyway, what were you expecting? I think you should tell the family directly beforehand, that way you can put an end to the neighborhood pressure.
One time when I was taking a full test, someone with the same last name walked into the pharmacy, and out of embarrassment, I asked for painkillers instead of the test... It sounds funny now, but that day I was really anxious.
Excuse me, but why did you just leave it like that after looking me in the eye? You could have just lied directly and said you were doing it for your sister or something like that?
@birisevimdekaldi I just froze for a moment, my brain literally stopped, it never occurred to me to make up an excuse.
@dedikodudanbbb Telling the family is a different matter; no one is obligated to explain themselves to everyone. Not everyone's family is understanding, and that neighbor is just looking for gossip.
In such matters, community pressure is inevitable, but taking a pregnancy test is an individual right. The pharmacy staff must adhere to confidentiality principles. If you're disturbed by a clear institution, you can file a complaint directly.
I think you're worrying too much, in two days it'll be forgotten.
