Still not a family man

A friend of mine posted on Facebook last night that she’s pregnant.  This is a friend with whom I had a conversation a few years back about marriage, and she had sworn she would never get married. She didn’t believe in the “institution” of it.  She was probably in her early to mid-20’s at the time. I’m not even sure she’s 30 yet.

Now she’s married, almost done with nursing school, and has a baby on the way. Even though I’ve hardly spoken to her in years, I am happy for her. To have a change on her outlook of life means hopefully brighter things could happen in my future as well.

But for today? I feel like a failure at becoming the family man I once thought I’d be. I can’t even hold a relationship.
