The question "when are you going to have kids?"

I also hate hearing "you can always adopt", but again, with my health issues, I couldn't take care of a child as I would see fit, and it's likely that I wouldn't see the kid graduate. I could never knowingly put any child through that.

One of these times you should just tell them that and see them squirm! It's really no ones business but your own. I don't want them for my own selfish reasons, and I'm so tired of everyone assuring me that I will one day. How in the world do they know that I just can't have them and that their words aren't tearing me up inside? I'm sorry people are so unintentionally cruel, ree-Xi!
