[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just found out my brother and his wife have been trying to have kids for years with  every sort of medical intervention (IVF etc). They’ve always given the impression that they were enjoying married life without kids and wanted to travel and had no intention of wanting or liking children. My other siblings and I have all had kids in the past two years. My bro and his wife have not shown up for any family events or shown any interest in own kids. I was very hurt by all of this. I wish they would have said something. I sympathize with the anguish for not having their own kids ( they just finalized an adoption), however, I can’t get past the complete disregard for others happiness. Am I overreacting? It feels a little like-I can’t have what you have so I will make everyone miserable. I’m really trying to understand, but don’t quite get going AWOL.[/quote]

Does OP even know if the reason the bro and SIL ghosted was due to infertility issues? Maybe they find OP and other similar family members annoying and choose to keep their distance.

Having said this, OP is very selfish. The focus of the post is all about her feelings with zero consideration of the pain of what bro and SIL are going through. The underlying issue doesn't even matter, OP is unable to realize that this is not all about her. I see why bro and SIL are choosing to stay away.
