Sometimes people have to go through periods of hard times to get to periods of grester times. Their was a time not to long ago when i felt the same as you, and even considerd suicide. But I got through it, and eventually, I experienced what I consider to be the best time of my life.

Oh, and wwho says you have to get married and have babies for a rea=lationship to be meaningful?

the thing is that i REALLY want to get married and have babies, girls :) everyone around me is having them, and then there is me… with absolutly nothing, me and my current bf have been talking about it, but he thinks its not the time yet, n slowly i think he doesnt want it anymore, n i want it more then anything… i wanna be a mommy… that is i guess the main thing that bugs me, the school - ill be finished eventually, job - i can change 1 day… but the family thing - nuthin…

Are you sure? That sort of makes it sound like you only want to have kids so you can fit in with everyone else.

I don’t think that u have no purpose in life , maybe u are in a still and boring period of ur life , and u may need some change . maybe it’s time to be brave and have new goals(find new goals for yourself) and follow them ;) I hope u will come over it :)

to the stranger, ive been wanting a baby since i was a kid, now im not that stupid n go ahead n get me knocked up while still a child, so i waited n waited n ive seen the world (most of it anyways) n i left germany to come here, find mr. right, n finally have a baby n a family i can care for… now that everyone else did it first doesnt mean im a follower, its even more like that, that 2 of my friends took my baby name ideas and gave em their kids… great friends hu?

to shamim, like i said, i left germany, ive seen what i wanted to see, now, im at the point in my life where i just wanna “settle down” - thats what its called right? that kinda is my goal, to have a family… how ever could i get over that? or stop wanting that?

Things will get better but maybe you have to take control of the situation. let him know how you feel first and foremost.

wallarookille: i did, he knows how badly i want to marry him and have a baby, the money is tight right now, so he asked me to wait, and, i mean what else is there for me to do?

i think i just hate my current situation, there is absolutly nothing i can do for another 2 years or so… but i tell u all… it sucks living with that knowledge, 2 years i am stuck in this crap… idk, i just needed a shoulder to cry on i guess :)

You go to school at the age of 25?
I don’t think it’s a good idea to have babies you can’t support financially. Can’t that be postponed? ‘Sides, there are plenty-a fish in the sea. You’re young and have a chance to meet others if this doesn’t work out.
Don’t have any tips about the job thing, work to me is something you do for 40 years on average then just quit.
