My husband and I recently got married but have been together almost 8 years. He just doesn’t want a baby right now, and that’s ok I understand, but I have always wanted to be a mother and watching others enjoy motherhood makes me jealous.

How can you love someone so much and not have an overwhelming feeling to start a family together? I just want to carry his child and be called mom. I know this will happen in due time, but it makes me sad my husband doesn’t have that desire right now.

The worst part is watching his friends get pregnant. And having to be happy for them and buy them baby shower gifts just makes me wish that was us.

Sometimes I get scared that I’m infertile because we have been having sex for 8 years, the past two years without birth control, and I’ve never had even a scare. He pulls out always, but you would think we would have had a scare in that time frame but it never happened
