[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I met my best friend in college and we have remained close over the past 10 years. We are both 30. I am married with a toddler and she has been single for the past few years, having had two serious boyfriends before that. The majority of our social circle is now married and many are starting to have children. After a mutual friend announced her pregnancy this weekend, my friend confided in me, in a moment of vulnerability, that she's feeling left behind. It pains me to see her feeling down but I don't know if there's anything I can say to make her feel better. I know she has plenty of time, at 30, to meet someone and start a family, but that's easy for me to say.

Anyone been in a similar position? Should I just keep encouraging her to put herself out there? Keep my mouth shut and let her wallow?[/quote]

Wonder if we have the same friend. My friend, 30 as well, just told me that she is terribly depressed with now everyone, but her either married, engaged, or already with kids. She is very lonely and in a low place right now. I too don't know what to say or do.[/quote]
