I do. I'm 29, divorced, i feel underpaid, i'm in school for my masters, single...watching everyone get married, they wonder when i will get married, i want to say, look beotch i've been married. I sort of feel like i'm watching everyone have 'their day.' Im wondering when it will be my turn. I never thought my life would be like this. I expected to have kids by now...but i'm divorced...i'm working and trying to be better...but it seems like my life will be the way it is now...forever. I wont be happy ):

We are all over worked and underpaid. Working to improve your future is a hard and fulfilling thing to do ( I am also in school at age 36). I wouldn't let what everyone else is doing bother me. One day you too will have someone special and a family. It will happen when you least expect it but for now concentrate on yourself and finish school.

EVERYTHING always looks better on the outside than what is actually is. I felt the exact same way. Everyone seemed so happy with their families and husband and what not. I am married now and I realize that it was a mistake. You are in school trying to better yourself. You have been married so you see how things are already. Yeah u may get a little lonely at times, but honestly I think you should concentrate on yourself. You are young and beautiful and I find that when you least expect it, things turn for the better. You will be happy but first you need to work on yourself. You dont need a man to be happy, that will come.

It sounds to me like you actually have it together so far and by the time you get settled with school, next will come a career and then your family. That's not too shabby. How many people do you know can say they are working on their masters. That's a chick magnet dude. Don't sweat the small things. I'm 32, and like yourself I'm divorced, however I do already have children. Two to be exact. I'm still getting my life together too after my divorce and you know what? I used to be like you and compare my life to others. Why can't I have the fairytale? But in my time I will have everything I want. I'm a patient person. Happiness will come to you. *And no, I never thought this would be my life either at my age. But like I said, I'm patient. I'm grateful for my health, my family, my children and that I'm not homeless or sickly. I think sometimes in life most of us tend to focus on the things we don't have rather than the things we do. If you look at it from that stand point maybe you might see the glass isn't half empty.
Good luck to you and keep your head up : )

Don't compare yourself to others, you will always come up short. Everyone else's life always seems better. It might look it on the outside but everyone has problems and disappointments. Other people might also compare themselves to you and feel like they want what you have.
You are getting yourself together and making yourself a better person. If people ask you when you are going to get married I would tell them that you were and that you do not want to talk about it. This will stop them from continually asking you this. There is still time for you to marry again and to have children. You do not want to settle for the wrong man. Work hard at school. Do you date? If you do not maybe you should start. Good luck to you.

Stay positive... im a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. I'm sure there is someone out there for you. If you dwell on the points of your life that do not fully satisfy you (currently), you might just pass that someone right up. Keep your head up, it'll all work out in the end. Good luck =)

Nahhh....you are just in a slump. Your focus is just on school and work right now. Your life isn't better or worse than anyone else's. There is no comparison.....they don't walk in your shoes, and they aren't in yours. Everything will workout the way it's supposed to. Try and take life as it comes, not how you wish it could be. Cheer up...it will get better for you....promise.

You are going to school to better yourself. You have a job, even if you aren't getting paid much. After school, you will get a better job and get paid what you are worth. Concentrate on that right now and don't worry about love. It will come along when you least expect it.

Keep your head up. No one really is trully happy whether married with kids or singlle. ITs ;your life, live it how you want and who gives a crap what others think of it. Things in life happen for a reason.
