People keep asking if I am going to have kids and it’s easier to lie than explain the truth
I (29F) got married about 18 months ago and since then people have (in the nicest way possible) asked if I want kids, if we’re planning to have kids, when do we think we might kids, etc. If I’m truly honest, there’s nothing I want more than to be a mum, but my chances of actually getting pregnant are slim and we earn too much for funded treatment, but not enough to cover it ourselves.
So I lie, and I say I don’t know if we want kids, maybe one day or that I’m pretty happy with my dogs and my life that way it is. And people accept that, but I wish I could just say “I want to but I don’t know if I can” because I know that will just cause people to pity me and I don’t want to be pitied.
All I am seeing everywhere is people getting pregnant, and having kids and it’s just so unfair because I don’t know what I did to deserve this.
