What do I get better when I see that my high school peers are getting married or have children?

I mean don’t get me wrong I’m really happy for them but some of them I know are getting married or having kids. Or already married and already have children. One of the girls I know it’s like my age and she’s been buried for about three years and she’s having her first child which I’m very happy for her. She’s having a boy. Anyways I am 28, still single and then usually don’t seem interested. My friends think I’m way too desperate and I’ll go is going to ever want to have a relationship with me if I’m just being desperate and just attention seeking. Desperate they may have a point but the attention seeking I don’t agree with. My relationships don’t last very long and I’ve been dumped twice and the guy had to break up with. I want to get married one day and have my own children I don’t want to be like 40 and get married and have kids that’s too late.

You may need to figure out why your relationships don't last.
The guys might be very different but their may be a common factor in your choices which hasn't been obvious.
Or you might have fears on commitment, losing yourself, being smothered, contoled, betrayed or abandoned.
Or you might have difficulties in communication, conflict resolution and/or boundaries.
Once you know the cause, you'll be able to start finding the solutions.

That's what my dad did. He waited till he was 40 years old to start having kids. I was the first born. My mom was 31 when I was born. My dad was 40.
