My wife and I are not together anymore however we still have contact on a friendly basis. But everytime we go out somewhere and I see couples with children I get sad and angry at her because we don't have children. I wanted children but she didnt really want them. Maybe I fooled myself all those years and is it not her fault. I don't want to be angry but I can't control it.
What can I do? I still want children but I am too old I guess...

Are you really too old? Men have more options later in life than women. My husband became a father later in life, he didn't have children from his previous marriages.

If you really do feel it's not going to happen for you do you have friends with children, nieces and nephews that you can spend time with?

I agree with the previous poster, biologically men have options later in life than females about having children.

If it really is not an option any more, what about volunteering or mentoring? Big Brothers/Big Sisters struggles to find enough men to be Big Brothers to the boys they have registered.

Im 45 and biologically is not the problem but which woman in a fertile age wants a man that old. Besides that, im not as fit as I used to be say 15 years ago both physically and mentally.
And volunteering or kids of friends or others is different than own kids.

Would you consider looking for a date perhaps with a big younger woman or woman who already has kids so you can be a stepdad at least?

There is nothing wrong being friends with exes but spending time going out with her might prevent you from finding a new girlfriend.
