Hey everyone, I’m new here
Well, I say I’m new, but I’ve spent hours trawling through some threads on here for years trying to find someone in my boat. Without much luck, I took the plunge and thought I’d just ask people myself in my own thread
So I’m 23, almost 24, I work full time and earn a decent wage I guess. I’ve been with my fiancé for 6 years, we have a very happy and solid relationship, we’re so lucky to have each other. For as long as I can remember I’ve dreamed of having a family of our own, and as the years pass, I find myself more and more desperate to have our own baby. OH says he wants to wait until we’ve bought our own place (right now we live in a little annex on the side of his parents house). I do get where he’s coming from, and I do want to be in a good position when we start a family, but I’m so so tired of waiting
I’ve had severe broodiness since I was like 18! I’m watching all my friends and people our age have babies of their own, some even have two, and I just feel so left behind. I also feel extremely jealous, because I know we’re in a much better position financially, relationship wise and I know we would be so happy. All I think about daily is having a baby, I mention it all the time but OH just won’t budge until we have our own home.
How can I make the waiting easier? I feel like every month that passes is just more and more painful, I often think of the time I’m wasting that I could be spending with a baby of my own. I also really worry about the future, my mums getting older etc. I just feel like I’m so ready, and other than the house front, OH has said he would love nothing more than to start our own family. We won’t be buying a house for at least another couple of years, I don’t know how I’m going to wait that long any advice out there? Xx
