I'm not even sure the best way to articulate what I'm feeling right now. I turn 31 in three months and all of my friends are married and/or have kids. I feel like I'm destined to become an old maid.![]()
I got to thinking about this partially after reading Gypsy's thread and mostly after finding out that my bf's little brother got his girlfriend of three months pregnant. I'm finding myself somewhat jealous and I don't really know why. I's not like I envy their situation at all. They barely know each other and she's only 19 with no job and they're having a shotgun wedding in a few months.
Sometimes I wonder if I over think things. I always wanted getting married and having kids to be perfect. I wanted to be married, have a great husband, a nice home and a planned baby that was wanted and expected.
Is this too much to hope for? I wasn't planned, none of my friends who have kids were planned and it seems like most everyone on here who has had children weren't expecting them either. Maybe life just needs to happen to you and you suck it up and deal with it? If I keep waiting for everything to be perfect will I just miss out?
I almost feel like that couple in the beginning of that movie Idiocracy. Well, we're going to wait for this, and this AND this. And the next thing you know you're too old and it can't happen.
I really dunno what I'm saying here, I'm just a little sad.![]()

I really needed it and it made me feel so much better. I do have a great boyfriend btw, and he's the love of my life, so I can definitely see that kind of future with him. We're going to be moving in together soon, which to me, is the true test of whether or not your relationship can make it in the long run.
