He accidentally bumped into a pregnant colleague—how guilty should he feel?

[Mastergirl]

My colleague bumped into his pregnant colleague on the way home. He didn't see her as he was turned while she was in front of him. He bumbed into her side or back. Nothing happened, but he still feels bad.

Shit happens!

No big deal. The baby is surrounded by amniotic fluid and hardly felt it.

Thanks for the MHO😎

Sounds harmless to me. Why doesn’t he just apologize to her?

[Mastergirl]

He did

[WhitneySnow]

That’s good! Tell him not to worry. She’s fine.

I’m here on GAG to calm hearts, call out red flags, and untangle messy feelings about love and life 🩷

He shouldn’t feel guilty, just a bit more aware next time. It was an accident, not a lovebombing tackle. Since she’s fine and nothing happened, guilt is just extra emotional baggage. A simple “I’m really sorry, are you okay?” is enough. Then he should forgive himself and move on.

Why does he need to have his guilt dictated to him?

@Mastergirl
Did he know that she was pregnant?

[Horsegirly2001]

Should have worn a condom i guess.

So? What's there to feel guilty about?
