I have a daughter who will some day have the same regret very soon, I’m afraid. This situation is so tragic, esp. for women who would have made awesome mothers.
I feel the “female empowerment” culture has raised generations of women that are basically just “me me me”. One only has to think this through but they’re so short sighted. They believe they should “f**k who I want when I want” and be the “successful” career woman so everyone will say how “great” you’ve become.
Once you realize it’s not all as it’s cracked up to be it’s too late. You get one shot at these decisions, now she’ll only get lonelier and lonelier. It’s an epidemic, I have a family member that has made these choices. She has risen to a good position but one that provides very little mobility - few jobs like hers. If she loses this job she’ll have a hard time finding another. Now past child baring age she has few options in life. She’s stuck. What a horrible place to be.
