[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister has been married for over 25 years.  She's successful, has many friends, and is very active and well known in her community.  Her husband had been married before, young, it ended ugly, and he has (now grown) children.  He told her when they were young enough that he'd have kids with her if that's what she wanted, but that if it were up to him alone he really didn't want more kids.  She elected not to have any.

The other day she told me she "immensely regrets" her decision.  I was surprised.

I'm just curious if anyone else reading this is in the same boat, and how you're dealing with it.  I feel badly for her.    [/quote]

My friend who is 57 got married at 27 and insisted no kids. His wife was on fence but agreed. All was well till he hit 50 and said you know if you got pregnant by accident I would have liked it. Then he threw out why did you not ever forget your birth control pill. The mil found out and also a bit pissed. They stayed married.

But they both early retired and he is bored. He also did well. Big house in Florida on water, sports car, fancy boat and a high seven figure stock portfolio with no one to give it to. The fun he had on 30-50 while friends tied down with kids is coming back to bite him.

I would not be surprised if he got some Florida last pregnant. Not too late for him [/quote]
