How old were you when you met your DH/DP?

[MissMollywasDolly]

I'm at that horrible age where most of my peer group are getting married or engaged... fed up of being asked about online dating

Met -26
Went out - the day after my 27th birthday

Met at 23, living together 25, engaged 27, married 28, DS 29. I'm now 31 and thinking of ttc a second

It can happen anytime Op. DH's stepmum met his dad when she was 40. Never been married before and had given up hoping to have children. They went on to have two boys, the first when she was 42, the second when she was 44.

With the best of intentions, I refuse to answer your question OP as it is irrelevant to your life !

Decide what you want and be clear about it to potential partners.

Tell friends what you are looking for, they may know someone.

Try to rid yourself of any irrelevant preconceptions that may be blocking you from finding someone.

Facebook seems to make the majority of people unhappy. If it does so for you disconnect.

I was 27 so your age OP and felt like all my friends had their long term partners and I was the outcast (having been dumped the year before). Then at 27 I met my now husband. You are still very young so don’t worry x

Met my now husband when I was 16, got married at 18 nearly 19. Now 32 been married nearly 14 years with 4 children 👶

15 and he was 16 fell in love as soon as we met

I was 21, he was 33

18. Met him in a cafe and got married six months later.

We met for the first time as toddlers, and vaguely knew each other our whole lives as our extended families were friends and neighbours. We started seeing each other when 14/15, married at 19 and have been together 32 years.

Not old enough to know my worth.

20. He was 26.

Met aged 32

Married at 34

DC at 36 & 39

HTH x

Met him at 22 (I had a 3 yr old son at the time who totally thinks of DH as his Dad), married at 24, had our DD at 25 and our DS2 at 26, I'm now 28 and expecting baby number 4 in May.

27 and been together for over four years now

I was 37, he was 45. Both unmarried and child-free. Met on E-Harmony. Best £35 I've ever spent.
Engaged 6 months later, married 14 months after engagement. DC1 arrived 11 months later then DC2 arrived 2.5yrs after DC1.
You'll know when it's the one x

Met him about 2 weeks before my 18th birthday , he was 26 . Got married when I was 22 and had our 29th wedding anniversary this year .

I was 17 he was 21. We are now 47 and 52 and have been together 30 years and have 2 beautiful DS's aged 12 and 8

Met when I was 24, dh was 23. Engaged 3 weeks after meeting. Married 3 years later just celebrated 18 year anniversary.

To be honest, if I'd have met him earlier I wouldn't have been interested. I just didn't want a relationship before that. I was busy having too much fun with friends.

21. My mum was in her thirties when she met my dad though, so I always kind of assumed I would be too - meeting DH that early rather took me by surprise!

I was 25 he was 33.
We'd both left significant relationships 2 years before we met.

I was 38 and DP 37. Had Dd at 40 and will be 45 in May when we get married

I was 20, married at 22
