[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing I find so fascinating about ‘well educated’ women like you is that you feel that being well educated makes you entitled to a high income marriage, 2 beautiful kids healthy kids in private school and in a desireable neighborhood.

And when this doesn’t happen, women like you get depressed. Nothing is guaranteed in life and you should have taken all of this into consideration. [/quote]

Huh? Taken it into consideration before what? Aside from being incredibly rude this post makes no sense.[/quote]

You sound like a little girl. Grow up. Life is not a fairy tale. And you’re mad that you’re being told this.

You should have thought about all of this into consideration BEFORE you married and had a child. Nothing is guaranteed in life. Being well educated doesn’t automatically mean you’re going to automatically get a long lasting marriage and a child in a ‘top school’.

Women like you run into marriage and generally *life* with little girl fantasies and then when the dark side of REALITY appears and you have to experience it, you can’t cope.

Nothing is guaranteed in life. Grow up.

NP. Wow, you got all of that from the OP? You can really reduce her to some type that you have created in your head? There is a severe lack of empathy on this board.

OP, I haven't gotten everything i dreamed of. In my case it's career wise.  But I have to look at things holistically.  I have a lot of what I dreamed of in other areas, and a lot that I like in general.  You have to look at the whole thing and see that, on balance,  things are good. Also, you can have another relationship that leads to a happy marriage  and maybe a (or another) kid. I know it's hard to practice gratitude but it helps to write down things you have in your life that you are grateful for and to surround with sympathetic or empathetic people.[/quote]
