I can relate this this too. We tried for around 5 years for a baby (several miscarriages) then husband announced he doesn't actually want kids after all. (I would have been cool with it if he was honest to start with!) Now I'm nearly 35 and we've split so I feel the chances of meeting someone new & having kids closer to 40 is very slim. I am unable to foster as I work full time and would never financially be able to adopt. I've come to peace with it but I DO feel very sad about it sometimes, especially as many of my friends are having their 2nd or 3rd child right now. I got off FB as I couldn't bear all the pregnancy/baby pics. I have 7 nieces & nephews and a godchild so I throw my energy into being the best aunt ever. I try to focus on the positives of this, the freedom to pursue my hobbies, to travel and the peace & quiet at home...
Your attitude is really inspiring - I'm going to try to take a page of it and put it in my book. Thank you so much for responding
