Guilt

    Feel like i need to vent on this rather than anything else......

    Ive been with my partner for 10 great years, we've had our ups and downs like many couples but we still love each other as much as the day we met.... the long and short of it is we can't have children (we've had some tests done and I'm not the one thats infertile)

    This is where the guilt comes in, I spent a few year in a relationship with a guy who i thought was my soul mate yada yada yada.... things went bad and we lost touch. I, as many of us do have a bebo page and recently he snt me a message saying hi, I went onto his page before responding and have discovered he has "5" children, the man is a baby dymo.....

    I feel guilty for wishing this but I wish I was still with him and I could have a child.....

    I'm sure many will have comments and questions but I needed to vent (even just a wee bit)

    Thats a very hard pill to swallow for both of you and my heart goes out to you. I am sure your OH is also feeling very upset and disappointed. No point looking back now. Mr Babies could have given you a baby but maybe he would have given you a lot of heartache too...

    Think of the positives with your OH and if you feel the need then get some counselling to get you through this... Look into other options and good luck :)

    It is a heartbreaking thing to face. I sympathise deeply.

    what about adoption ? Other medical science options ? have you already explored these ?

    Best wishes.

    Could you not conceive via a sperm donor. If your partner was fine with it then you have options.

    Clearly the will to be a mother is strong with you and don't feel ashamed for that. Just try and keep an open mind to other options.
