I'm starting to feel left out now that all my friends are married and pregnant what should I do?

You just need to calm down. When you're getting that bug... imagine getting no more than 4 to 5 hours straight sleep for 8 years, hearing screaming and crying every 5 minutes, watching only disney movies for the first 5 years, revolving all your weekday and weekend activities around making your kids happy, going to playgrounds whenever possible, spending endless dollars on things they want and then seeing them forget about it the next day; investing in expensive equipment like car seats and sports gear, buying clothes every season because they outgrow them too fast, never enjoying a restaurant outing because they'll spill milk or orange juice on the table every time; telling you that life sucks because other kids do funner things... and just say to yourself, wow, my life is so much better than mobius4niner.

Then again, I held my daughter's hand as I put her to bed tonight. The last thing she said before closing her eyes and falling asleep was "I love you, daddy"

kinda a rough age, I recall feeling like that. Seems like everyone is taken and you are the odd ball out. Everyone moves at different speeds... just accept it.

You can be supportive and learn from your friends when they have problems or divorce.

Enjoy your life while you are single, but emerse yourself in areas where single guys may dwell and keep an open heart.

give up and join the nunnery...

Sit back and wait a few years and then they’ll start having problems and getting divorced and live shitty lives while envying you who don’t have to deal with a cheating husband, a man child who won’t do shit around the house, custody battles, coparenting with an asshole and his new bitchy girlfriend, miss 50% of their kids childhood and so on and on.

Pretty true I know lots of them are already cheating even before their own wedding...

[Aerissa_Jade]

This is what I've gone through the last couple of years, just get out... meet more guys, date more. Have fun, enjoy it while you can.

[Asker]

Guys just say their not interested or they are already taken

[Aerissa_Jade]

Find different ones, it is okay if they aren't interested. It is either keep trying or give up.

You can also just find groups to make friends, guys, couples or whatever. You never know what road that will lead you down. Even if a guy is taken or not interested he may have a friend that eventually you meet through them.

[Asker]

Most people I know who are engaged are cheating

[Jitternation]

Find new hobbies and activities to get involved with in your area. Create a new friend group with single like minded people. Set body goals/gym goals and achieve them. Remember 50% of marriages end in divorce and that’s not counting miserable couples that stay together and don’t get divorced for financial/familial/religious reasons.

[Asker]

That's true many of them don't last anyway I guess I'm over thinking it

[Aerissa_Jade]

50% isn't first time marriage though, lots of people get divorced, re-married, divorced and remarried over and over and it ups the averages, 2nd marriages at 60% and 3rd and beyond 70% or higher.

First time marriages are closer to 30-40% range depending where you live.

Just don't marry someone who has been divorced before and your odds are better.

@Aerissa_Jade some people are cheating before their own wedding day I know

There's not much you can do. They have gone to a different stage of life and will turn their attention more and more to each other and their family and babies and it will seem like they are just getting more distant. Stay friends stay as close as you can we'll start looking for others friends to hang out with..

[inoru]

You shouldn't want those things because you feel left out. What you should do is find your own path and live your own life without worrying about being part of the group. If you want that then start dating, but if you just want to fit in then I don't suggest creating a whole family just to be miserable down the line.

[notwoke]

break open a bottle of champagne and celebrate that you were the only one not stupid enough to ruin your life

[jahaims]

Well if those aren't your goals why do you care? If those are your goals, work towards them.

[whosnumber1]

Try a makeover and see if you get more attention, there are plenty of guys out there

[Asker]
