One of those days where everyone is engaged, married or pregnant

And I am not, and nowhere near.

I am just so sad.

So relatable!!! I have discussed this with other women I know, all of us over 30, and we have all felt the same way.
But also, just because other people are engaged, married or pregnant doesn’t mean they are happy.
I don’t have a partner, but this means I can do what I want, when I want. I don’t have to answer to anyone else, all my money is for myself.
I can think of worse ways to live, but I do understand

Everyone I know is buying houses or renovating houses...I am not. I get you, it's not a nice feeling feeling "out of step" with all your friends.

I am 29, 15 weeks pregnant and my partner left me at 8 weeks because he freaked out about being a dad. I know how hard it is but please try and trust that you are on the right path and things will fall into place. That belief is the only thing getting me through!

Thank you. Trying to believe that everything happens in its time but it seems like my path is such a lonely one.

41 here, single for years, and I know the feeling very well. 💐

27, married for 3 years, 2 kids and another on the way, and absolutely not happy. My kids are my everything, but my husband doesn't want this baby and I can't do anything right for him. I work part time (when he's home with the kids) so I'm not in a position to be able to leave as I don't have childcare that would enable me to work enough to support me and my kids. I know the grass always looks greener on the other side, but trust me, it's not.
