Our mamas broke up (vent)  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
DF and I were so excited to help our lesbian friends to have a baby but we found out last night that after four years together, they've called it quits. We were going to sign a contract this month and start the process next month. They were temping and buying up all sorts of baby paraphernalia. I don't know why I'm feeling a loss here since I'm not really actively involved. We've got our own lives going on and expecting our own baby in March but somehow I just feel so sad; sad for both of them, for their wedding they were planning and for the baby they won't have. The good thing is that we've made some wonderful friends through it. On the other hand we fear we won't meet another couple who clicks with us so well. We're disappointed and, although it's not as intense for us compared to what they're going through, we're hurt that this has fallen apart.

Oh how hard!

This experience will show them what it was they wanted/want and you and your DP have also grown - Here is to hoping your knew knowledge brings in wonderful luck and a great match in 2008!

Thank you so much. You're right, we're definitely less naive now than we were in the beginning. We still want to help someone but being AP, GD and crunchy, we're afraid that it will be difficult to find another couple who shares these perspectives that we feel are so important. Well, I'm sure that another opportunity will come along if it's meant to be.
