I found out one of my ex-friends is pregnant and I am seething with jealousy

r/

I don’t know entirely what to say. My partner and I were trying for a baby before he got laid off and I got back on birth control. This girl and I quit being friends because she started dating one of my other friends and it wasn’t a good situation for any of us. Now she’s pregnant and I can’t help but be so jealous. I shouldn’t be because this is a disaster for them. He can’t/won’t hold down a job and is an addict not doing well at recovery, and she can barely afford to keep them in their apt. with their whole heard of pets as is. This isn’t happy news for them but it still stings. She never wanted kids and now she gets the baby I wanted, tried for, and ultimately couldn’t have.

    As a gay man, I understand. When my friends have gotten pregnant, I’ve felt jealous for sure. It’s difficult to have the deep seated desire to have a family and not be able to, while watching the people around you get to have it effortlessly. You’re not a bad person. You’re simply human
