everyone else getting pregnant but you?

[hopes fading]

Aw mega, I know what you mean. I hate myself for the fact that around me, people I am (was?) friends with can't openly act happy about their pregnancies. It's like an unspoken rule and it makes us and I'm sure them feel awful. But what is the solution? It can only ever feel right and natural again when we are pregnant or Mum's too; until then it only serves as a reminder of how cruel and unfair this life is sometimes. Don't beat yourself up - if the shoe was on the other foot, they more than likely would feel the same as us... X

You should feel honored that you have friends that don't throw it in your face, but rather are so darn concerned with you being happy that they would keep their most momentous occasion quiet to spare your feelings!! I would be honored to have a friend as nice as that. I think you should think of the persons reasoning and intentions, instead of what that actually means to you. I know that sounds silly, but be appreciate of what you do have, which is one really awesome friend. Then you can explain to her how you feel, and explain to her that it might change, but for right now you are able to be completely happy for her!

you know, this is a different spin on things, and i think you're totally right! i am extremely happy that someone, ANYONE gets to share in such a momentuos occasion! and she's a really sweet girl, and i'm sure she was only concerned with hurting my feelings!! nice optimism! haha i'm never good at that! my husband always tells me i'm a pesimist!
