So I got a phone call from a friend of mine, it's been a few of years since we last talked. She told me that she and her husband of 20+ years were in the midst of an awful divorce. I was saddened and surprised, but the worst thought in my head was this "She gave up having children for this guy, and now she's too old to have them."
He never wanted children, even though she desperately wanted them. She was a teacher of deaf children, and always had a special understanding of children. He kept saying "Next year," and putting her off. Eventually, the issue got buried, and she went along with hubby. Then she got too old (over 50 now) and she's past the age for childbirth. And now she and hubby will be each other's exes. I doubt she will want to adopt as a single, older mother. I'm disgusted and sad for her and she is full of regret.
What do you think?
