Maybe it’s just me but I still feel like she’s dodging the truth. Both friendships ended abruptly so it’s more than just ‘big life changes’. Pretty sure there was over a year between her falling out with Ell and getting pregnant with Ocean so that can’t really be used as an excuse. The ‘big changes’ that line up with the fall out are buying their flats and Ell getting a boyfriend, neither of which should cause a friendship to end (unless there’s an issue with the boyfriend..).
I can maybe understand the Molly situation because they really did go from 0 to 100, they pretty much latched onto each other when Syd and Ell fell out. But again they went from being best mates doing everything together to suddenly Molly getting a half arsed ‘I’m pregnant’ reveal from Syd and then we never see her again. The common denominator is still both Ell and Molly getting boyfriends and then falling out with Syd not long after
It’s not even like Ell and Molly aren’t interested in babies considering Molly is currently pregnant and Ell acts like her niece is her own child. So surely Syd having Ocean would bring them closer since they’re all baby mad and not be this ‘big change’ that would cause them to drift apart?
Call me cynical but I’m just not buying it
