    The regret hits you when it is impossible to have children, and you see others living a richer life, while you are lonely.

      I’m like 99% infertile, an absolute bonus of a health problem because even the idea of being pregnant gives me anxiety. I can sex it up in god mode without worrying too much about birth control failing.

      Being alone is my happy place. I don’t even like sharing a bed.

      Once it’s impossible for you to have children, the children of other people your age have already moved out of the house, and those people are as lonely as you.

      Don’t depend on your children to be your only friends. They’ll grow up and move on with their life (As they’re supposed to. That’s the point of having children to raise them to go on and have lives of their own)

      Why would I be lonely? I have my wife now and am not lonely, and I’ll have my wife in 40 years and not be lonely. Depending on your children to give you will to live is fucking cruel.

      What are you going to do if your children only want to visit you every 6 months? Then you’ll be lonely as fuck anyway according to that comment.
