I didn't even imply it.

Maybe this will help clarify my opinion.

I have a good friend. We ride horses all the time together, she's my age, 51. She's been married once and had several live ins. She conciously choose not to have children BECAUSE she would have had to cut back on riding time, she would have had to cut back her career, they cost money to raise, they take up alot of time, etc. Is all she could see were the things she was giving up, she could not see the gains. It was all about herself. I have told her numerous times, I admire her for NOT having children if that was how she felt about it. BUT I believe her reasoning shows a bit of selfishness, and maybe that's why her marriage and live ins never worked. She's a good person, I think she is a real person, but fulfilled....

Lately, I think she's seeing somethings she is missing now. She's alone. She spends holidays at movie theathers, alone. She has no one to share her day with. Some people land up in this situation thru no fault of their own, but she choose it, and now I believe she regrets it.

Does that help clairify what I'm talking about?
