So I (F23) my coworker (F30), lets call her Barbara, so Barbara and I were talking during a slow moment at work. We were just talking about life and relationship. And at one point the topic of kids came up. I told her that I have never wanted kids. Barba started going on a tangent that her kids are the best thing that has happened to her and that I should reconsider, because I will never know true love until I have kids. I kindly told her that I'm pretty firm in my decision to not have kids . Then Barbara told me I was disappointing the Lord by not having kids, and I'm not considered a real woman if I don't have kids. At this point I was pretty annoyed and I just told her that I'm infertile, and it's just easier to say that I don't want kids then tell everyone under the sun that I medically can't have kids. Now I feel bad for snapping at her but at the same time I don't because she kept pushing and pushing.

TL;DR: I snapped at a coworker telling her that I'm infertile after she told me I don't count as a real woman if I don't have kids, now I kinda feel bad for snapping.
