My sister is getting married

[beansmum]

I am about 90% happy for her. And 10% extremely jealous and miserable! I am a horrible person, I know, I just need someone to tell me that I will not end up alone. I HATE being single!

Good to be honest on here but sure she won't want to know about your 10%!

You probably won't end up alone. However, if you read some of the many unhappy threads on MN you will see the advantage of being single over staying in a miserable relationship with a person that does not bring positivity to your life.
Enjoy life and make it whole; I now realise that no-one needs another individual to complete them.

Yes I'm married, but have had several period of wishing I wasn't since the big day
Things are fine at the mo though

My sister is getting married too and I feel the same as you. However I love weddings. Instead of being jealous see it as evidence that there is such a thing as true love.

I would never tell my sister that I was anything but completely happy for her, but I can't stop feeling a little bit sad. Glad I'm not the only one!

I'm fairly sure I will not end up alone, I'm just a little bit tired of waiting for the right time and the right guy. And I'm sure, being single is a million times better than being in a bad relationship, but being in a good relationship would be even better wouldn't it?

I need a new plan - two kids and a husband by the time I'm 30 is not going to happen, unless I meet him and get pregnant in the next 6 weeks....Nope, new plan - graduate, get a job, meet a nice man at work, 2 kids and a husband by the time I'm 35? It's possible. But honestly, I'm pretty happy as I am, and so excited about the wedding. I get to be a bridesmaid, can't wait.

I can not write a short message, ever, sorry bout that.

Beansmum I'm totally in the same position as you and totally feel the same. I'm trying to look at it positively though as 1) I get to be a bridesmaid too :-) and 2) I have my son who is the most precious thing in the world to me and my sister doesn't.

Part of me is okay with being on my own, the other part of me is a girly girl who would love a marriage I could be proud of. Sadly, lack of prospects means I have to continue with all the teenage girls and dream!!! I find being a single Mum really hard sometimes but for the most part I quite like having such a close relationship with my son.

(I can't write a short message either! ha ha!)

I think you are allowed a little bet of jealousy, you're only human.

And besides you might meet someone nice at the wedding...
