I think everywhere you go, not just in counseling, you will find people who live different lives. Two of my best friends have never been married, don’t date and have no kids. But I think we still connect on a friendship level and I hope they don’t feel beneath me just because they are single and I am not. I live in a pretty small condo in a pretty average area. I have friends and family who live in mansions in upscale neighborhoods. I don’t really care. If you do care, then you don’t have to associate with people who differ from you. Try those peer support groups people mentioned. Or volunteer for less fortunate? You could meet people who have less than you
