[quote=Anonymous]I settled. I sort of realized it at the time but the extent of it has been slow to reveal itself fully. I’m not a bad person but I am not attractive and my career is a product of my best work but nothing impressive. It was hard to find a relationship that felt reciprocal or equal, let alone truly fulfilling, and I sensed I never might find one. I have close single friends and am thoughtful, funny, and hard-working, but so are so many other single women. I realized after a while that of the people I knew in college, 20s life, and graduate school that certain kinds of people were pairing off. It was apparent that the kind of person who I hoped I might marry was not really the kind of person that I was “eligible” for. The single women I know who are like me aren’t reaching for the stars and trying to date out of their league. There are just so many more kind, self-supporting women who want partners and children than there are similar men (assuming hetero couples only for the sake of simplicity, sorry).

I love my child and wish I had had the family support and financial success that would have enabled me to have her on my own. Donor sperm PP, I admire and envy you.[/quote]
