No, not really. Don't even try to go there, because you have not been told by a doctor that you CANNOT have kids. When someone dared to suggest that possibility in another thread, you FREAKED OUT.

It's just jealousy.

No it isn't. You're making it that way.

I know someone who despite doing OK financially, owns their own condo, has a decent paying job is very resentful of anyone who they perceive as having more than they do. It's a very unflattering characteristic to have.

An example they resented a coworker whose husband was killed and the woman got insurance money. Like you it was over the top. Comments like "well she doesn't have to work now", got very resentful of her and found fault in everything she did, I finally said you do realize she lost her husband and was left a widow with two minor children. All this person could see was the $$$$$. Not the heartbreak that came with it....unreal.

Again, it's not like they were hurting fincancially. Same thing if someone inherited some money or got a new car, jealous. This person is twice your age and has hardly any friends.

You're the same way. You can't be happy with what you have(getting an advanced degree, loving parents, and your youth), you have to spin your wheels being jealous of others.

Miserable way to go through life.

And the kicker is many of these people you're so jealous of could very well have issues going on that you don't know about, and wouldn't want those issues to be your issues.

As I said earlier the married pregnant classmate your so envious of could have a parent who is seriously ill.

No it's not, and that is an insult to infertile people.

When I got pregnant, I had a friend who had been trying and trying with no luck. I dreaded telling her, but she took it very well and said I was being silly, and that, of course she was happy for us.

She probably said that but did she actually feel that

That's true I guess you never know but she doesn't seem unhappy, her outward appearance doesn't seem like she's struggling with anything other than maybe keeping up with school while being pregnant which is her own fault

I'm not usually one to criticize someone with mental illness. I mean, it's an illness. You can't help that you have it. You can help how you deal with it, though. I hope you have one heck of a therapist, or you are going to have a very lonely life. People will not put up with your self-centeredness for long.
