Horrible Morning niceguy: OK, before I start this story I know I sound very selfish. Just need to get it out I think….
My Dad called me this morning and told me one of my cousins is pregnant. I am so bitter right now. I’m happy for them and I know they will make wonderful parents. I’m just sad for me and angry with my X. That should have been us. I’m so miserable right now. I know this is horrible of me to think this way. I’m just so jealous and bitter.
I almost stayed home today. I wish I did now. When will this nightmare be over. I don’t want to have this kind of response every time something happens. I guess I just need to get over this.
Re:Horrible Morning Bob-Bob: Hey niceguy,
I know what you mean... and although my x and I never had children (she did not want to have kids) I have had similar feelings at times...
But on the flip side... you are very lucky that you did not have children and then get divorced... I know that does not make it any better...
Sorry you're going through this,
Bob
Re:Horrible Morning niceguy: Hey Bob,
Thanks for pointing that out your are 100% right. I used to hate hearing that, but now after hearing so many people's stories I am honestly lucky that never happened. It's hard enough to go through this without children involved.
Thanks for another angle to look at.

Re:Horrible Morning barelybreathing: I completely understand what you are saying.
When I found out that my sister is pregnant with her second child, whichis wonderful news, I could not help but feel sadness for me and my situation.
I was always ahead of her. Got married before her, then a year later she did. Had a baby, then a year later she did. Now well the cycle is broken.
You are okay to feel these things. Of course you are happy for your cousin, you are just sad that a dream of yours is no longer....
Hang in there...

Re:Horrible Morning JASPER: I'm sorry your having these feelings but they will pass in time.I don't think your being selfish jusy a little saddend by your own life. Just remember all is not lost you can still live out those dreams in your new life.
