I never really felt a driving need to have children, as some people do, nor did I every want to be a single mother, so on the whole I think it's okay that I don't have children. But, yeah, every now there's wistfulness for a possibility that is no longer.
*HUGS* I've been feeling like this quite a bit lately. The "What IF's" as well as the regret of not having kids. I always wanted them, but I just don't see that happening for myself. As for the work crush, I'm on board with that too except that I wanted to do something about it. I just never did, because I was too shy, and didn't think he'd be interested anyway. I've known/worked with him for the past 10 years or so, and I've always had this insane crush, complete with "heart eyes" whenever I'm around him. (So I've been constantly told. *headdesk

I think whatever choices we make on the big life decisions, we have regrets of some form or another. I have never for one second regretted the children, but I do regret choosing to not do other things, too. There's always a trade off of one kind or another - but knowing that doesn't make the feelings any easier to cope with. *hugs tight*
