To be honest, you need new friends.
Having a husband and kids will not make you closer to them, it will just cause you to drift further apart since there will be two husbands and two sets of kids with all their various needs that will interrupt and potential "friend time".
You're not left behind, you've taken a different path, and following the path they've taken will take you to a place where people seldom meet.
Find new friends on your clear and open path but keep most of the old ones. When their lives free up, their kids become more independent or their marriages fail (hopefully not) you can meet again.
Trust me, everyone makes sacrifices, everyone has regrets, everyone get restless, everyone has doubts and while you might envy them some of them will envy you right back.

That's ok and you aren't alone, even though it may seem that way. I'm sure that your time will come. If you want to get married and have children then you need to make the effort to find someone. It's like a second job. I don't believe that women can have it all. They can have a mix but no way can they have it all. It's too demanding. I'm sure the rare exception can but most probably can't do it. We're human. Something falls through the cracks.
I got married when I was 32. It seemed like a lot of my friends were married and having children. But for me, I wasn't going to just settle for anyone. I'm glad that I waited.

Your working on your career so that you will never have to be dependant upon a man..THAT is a good thing.. I don't know why or how we get so turned around in our thinking.
So your priorities are on furthering your mind, your career...Thats not being left behind - thats called getting your priorities in order! You go girl!
I'm not saying become a narcissitic self centered person here-- I'm just saying dating, marriage, kids -- thats HUGE - Take it from me -- I DO NOT regret my kids, my marriage of 22 years etc---BUT - I do feel that I would have been happier had I completed what I sat out to do.

Except for women's biological clock, there's no right timetable for doing things in one's life.
You're focusing on a different aspect than your friends, and you're happy. That's what matters.
And look at it this way, when you do find someone and get married and have kids, you'll have the experience of all these friends to help you.

Are you doing what you are passionate about? If not, that could be why you feel left behind.
