Note that I didn't read anyone's replies but I just wanted to give my quick two cents. First question is why has he moved on and you're still struggling? Is it a jealousy thing because he found someone else? If you're struggling as much as you say then you should seek therapy.

You remind me a lot of myself actually. I've been to therapy because I've had trouble moving on. There's nothing wrong with it just be honest with yourself.

I'm 28, never married and no kids. It's sooo hard finding men in this stage in life that don't have kids like myself. I often feel so out of the convo when my co workers are sharing stories about their kids or husbands and I have nothing to say at all. First I told myself I'd have my first kid at 25 and now my goal is 30 but from years of being on birth control plus psych meds, I haven't had my period in a year now and at this point I'm questioning if I can even have kids!

My bf has been married and has two kids of his own. Because I have no kids I feel like it's keeping me from getting close to or understanding his children. It really sucks and I often find myself "faking it" for him. Like yea I love when your kids are over and turn the house upside down and don't listen, not! The other day I was so stressed and overwhelmed by his kids being here that I left my house and hung out at my dads for awhile. It's not easy trying to be an insta-mom!

And good news for us, studies show that people are actually getting married and having children at a later age now so don't be so hard on yourself!

Take care of your mental health first before you rush into a relationship with the next guy just because you feel behind. Mental health is something you can't rush. Imagine marrying someone you end up hating in 5 years! Yuck!
