Hi there

I'm 31, never really had a relationship, never had any interest from men and put up barriers a long time ago. I have ruled out ever having a relationship, which is very hard for my family to understand. I have a sister who is 2 years yhounger than me, attrractive, never had a problem getting men, who I naturally compare myself to. We are close but she doesn't understand.

I have tried internet dating, and given it a genuine go, but it hasn't worked - you have to really sell yourself and not believing I have anhything to offer, it's obviously not right for me.

All my friends are having babies now (mostly married already) and I decided 4 years ago that I would have a baby by myself when the time came. It's not the right time yet, I want to wait another year or two, but I'm trying to get my family on board and they're struggling. They say it's selfish as the poor child will have no father and I will have to rely on them a lot. Normally they're very supportive and I know they want what's best for me, but I'm finding it hard to explain my point of view and I'm feeling resentment towards them for treating me this way - like I'm a problem that needs solving. They want me to try to find a man, and I know it won't happen.

Really getting me down.

Hope this was the right place to post this and someone can understand.

Rebecca
