my best guy friend and his girl are expecting a baby in oct - and i feel i'm being very selfish and cruel with the feelings i'm having- instead of being happy for them - i can't help but envy them and be so incredibly jealous!they have finally worked everything out- are happy, have a baby on the way, and are together- and here i am my man is 17 hours away- we are trying to figure out how to be closer and i feel like my biological clock is ticking- cause i want to have a baby so bad ! she called me lastnight to tell me that she is sick and can't eat anything - and i was concerned over the phone- but when i hung up all i could think was- why can't that be me? what the heck is wrong with me? why am i feeling this way and why won't these feelings go away? anyone have any advice or opinions for me?

I am sorry that you are not where you would like to be in your life. Just have faith and know that it will happen for you too. You just have to wait for Gods plan. I know it is hard to do. I had to wait for about three years to get what I wanted. I have to be honest with you. I have a friend who is in the same boat as you are and it hurts me so bad. She never even carred enough to go to any of my baby showers. I know that she is trying to get pregnat also but why not be happy for me. I tried for much longer than she ever did. Not to mention I got married and finished college and have a carere. She is unemployed with a boyfriend who is under house arrest. Sorry for venting it is just another side of the story.

don't be sorry for venting- i hate to hear that ur friend was not there for u... but this is why i'm so conflicted- i'm totally there for her- she calls and i talk to her and tell her its going to be ok- i've even agreed to be the god mother of her child and i'm planning a baby shower- but i feel so guilty about being jealous and i want the best for the both of us- but my life is always going to be miserable - i have no career, my man is 17 hours away and we are working on deciding when i'm moving there to be with him- cause his family is there and i feel it would be selfish to make him move here when i only have my sis here whom i don't really get along with... and it seems that i can't get pregnant- though i've never been told i can't- just feel stupid for feeling this way- but its like- why can't my life get on track and be together like hers ! what makes me even madder is that she is so much younger than me- so i am giving up - i feel i'm going to be an old maid sitting alone and lonely holding her lap dog and sayin- u love me don't ya ...

I was in your spot up until about a year and a half ago. And I'm 31! I totally felt the same way as you, giving up on men and getting married and having kids as my friends were all doing it. But, when I least expected it, I met my husband and now there's about to be 3 of us. Its bleak, and that clock ticking can be SOOOOOO loud, but I promise it will happen for you too. There is nothing wrong with you, its just a rough time.
