I feel like I am being left behind everyone else in my age group as they continue forward with their wonderful husbands, babies and gorgeous houses and I'm all alone wishing I had what they have. I am 28 and single. I have a good job, am educated, am active, have good friends. But I am really lonely. I was in an incredible, wonderful relationship for two years with a man I thought was perfect and whom I thought I would marry. He broke up with my unexpectedly

I'm going to be 30 in just three months and if you feel like a leepor at the age of 28, I'd hate to know what that makes me lol.

Yep, just hang it up. I mean, my word, you are 28. You are SO far behind now....geesh girl. There is no way this is going to get any better. Might as well give up.

Are you effin' serious? Get off your butt and get out there! If you keep going how you're going - you're going to be saying this same stuff at age 40. You think you feel bad now...wait til then. Get out of your own way!

Thank you for taking the time to post. I know that things happen for people at a different pace, and not everyone is happy, but I truly have about three single friends and scores of married friends who are happy and in bliss and have everything I want but do not have. I'm happy for them, don't get me wrong, but I am also exceedingly jealous.

I can definitely speak from experience on this. At one time I felt like I was behind. I was with someone for 5 years, knew him for 6 and he would not commit. I was 31 when we met. Was 37 when I finally realized he would not marry me. Last year, at 37 I felt a lot of regret. That I had wasted my love and time with a loser. But over the past year my life has done a total 360! I have so much joy and peace people at my job, wonder why?

You should focus on what you do have, and not what you don't have. I know I'm sounding cliche, but you'll feel better (duh!), and--gasp!--look more desireable. It does seem like you have a lot going for you. I'm 30 and I don't have that much, but I still feel like I have enough time to be young. If you're going to focus on worrying, focus it on more serious things. Well, maybe you don't have those kinds of problems. But if you're worried about having children (as most women do), don't fret too much. A woman I knew had her first baby at the age of 32. And now she has 4 children.
