I'm 23, just out of college, and just found out that my best friend of forever is pregnant. I feel like she just threw everything away. She's happily married and I think she's happy about it, but no matter how hard I try I cant be happy for her. She used to have so many dreams, to travel the world, to live in Paris for a year, to go to grad school and move away from our small town. Now she's just trapped, stuck with a baby and a normal average life. The question though is more about me - Everyone says "Well thats what happens at your age." I feel like I must not be normal because I have NO desire to settle down and get married and have children. I like being in a relationship, but I just dont want to be trapped like she is going to be. I have no maternal instinct and I feel like once you have kids your life is over...Does anyone else around my age feel like this? Am I normal?
