Hi,

I am a 23 year old female and have been with my boyfriend since I was 17. While we do eventually plan on getting married and having children, he wants to save up and buy a house first which I agree on.

For some reason, I have recently been getting this feeling that I want to get married ASAP. I think this feeling rises from jealousy that I have been having toward his brother & his brothers fiance who are getting married soon. They are in their late 20's/early 30's so they are older than we are, however all the talk of planning a wedding and starting a family after the wedding makes me so jealous and depressed.

When I try to step back and think rationally about it, I know there is no hurry to get married and have a family since I am only 23, however I still get the feeling like I want to get married and have kids!

How can I push these feelings aside?!?! They wont go away!

Thank you for taking the time to help me.
