Hi all. I didn’t know where to go but I always think here can be helpful.

My wife and I are married nearly nine years but we are not pregnant. I was hurt and extremely jealous when my younger sister announced she was pregnant the first time. The second it was easier maybe because I live in another city. All my wives friends have had children all bar one. They announced recently they are pregnant. I feel bitter and jealous. I don’t mean to be but I feel like a let down. I’m 38 as is my wife. I do my best to avoid conversations with people about their families. I feel guilty for being so awkward and jealous but I don’t know what to do

Does your wife bring this up to you? How does she feel about it?

She has gotten annoyed but she tries to
Laugh it off

Annoyed with what? That she hasn't gotten pregnant or that you feel the way you do about it?

That is both

Well, I'm also in my late 30s, not married nor do I have kids, so I'm not sure how much my advice weighs, but I think that you feeling the way you do is something you need to work on. Of course, if she got pregnant it would probably smooth out the problems, just make sure you're both emotionally and financially prepared.
