Can you tell me stories of being single at 27 and married with children by 37?

[StickOnTheKettleLove]

Feeling so lonely and so, so single tonight.

Left a 10 year live in relationship at 27. Met my husband at 32. Married at 33. Have 2 kids at 38. I felt like i would be single forever at my 30th birthday but it literally takes 1 date to meet the right person.

Single at 27. Single off and on at 28 and until two weeks before my 35th Birthday when I met DH.

Had DS1 at 37, DS2 at 38, got married at 39 and 3 years later we're counting our blessings and loving being a family.

Seriously, I've had those lonely sad nights. I wish someone had been able to say get out, have fun, enjoy the single spontaneous years because everything works out exactly as you want. and tonight then back up and at it tomorrow x

Met DH at nearly 27, married at 29, DS born when I was 34 (but we ttc for 3 years!)
You have loads of time

Hugely single at 27. One short relationship to my name. Did OLD on and off until I got serious about it at 33. Met DH in August 2009, we moved in together in the January. Married at 35. DD was born when I was 37.

I'm 43 now, 10 years together. Very happy. Still a bit surprised I got a happily ever after - I didn't think I would.

Wish my mam would set me up with someone. On seconds thoughts....

Met man when I was 26, thought he was an absolute arse, met him again a year or so later, moved in together aged 29, bought house age 30, married at 31 DS1 born when I was 34, DS2 born just before my 40th. Age 48 now, still love him to bits (whilst occasionally wanting to strangle him 😉)

Broke up with love in partner at 27. Single for 5 years - had a ball travelling with friends but began to worry it was never going to happen. Met my now DH at 32. Married at 35. First baby at 36. Second at 38.

I remember feeling my life plan was down the pan when I was dumped at 27, but there's loads of time. Enjoy your freedom!!

Single at 27, met person i would marry, 2 kids at 37

But, now divorced.

Being in a relationship isn't everything, i feel i over compromised really, with hindsight.

Single when I turned 30 (feb birthday), joined online dating in September that year and met up with just one guy...in 35 now, we've been married 3 years and have a 2 year old fast asleep upstairs.

I only joined online dating to prove the point I wouldn't meet anyone...

Nope - but I can tell you stories of being single at 27, and married with an amazing DD at 39.

We also fostered for years ( amazing experience - runs through every emotion you'll ever have)

I was working. I now work for myself. We met and started a business and a life together...

Keep positive,

you have to kiss a few frogs/ meet a few idiots in order to appreciate the genuine ones.

Single at 27, engaged 28, baby and marriage 29.

Things can change so so quickly

Single with a baby at 27. Married with four kids by 34.

Very single at 27. Met Dp on a holiday at 29 - I had started to travel on my own because I didn't want to wait for a boyfriend to appear. First child at 31 and second at 35. Definitely can happen! But, it only happened for me when I was happier with myself which took a lot of hard work

Met my husband when I was 27 got engaged when I was 28 Married at 29 first DC at 30 and second at 32 so it can happen and I certainly didn't settle I'd met and dated enough arseholes to release I'd come across a decent caring loving man he makes me laugh we talk about anything and everything he's been there for me through rough times and good times and I certainly want to grow old with him

By 27 I'd been married 3 years
Divorced at 39
Married again at 34
DS1 at 35
DS2 at 38
Sadly divorced again at 41
Now 44 in a fledgling relationship that's going really well so far.
Oh to be 27 again!

Life can really change when you least expect it x

Cried myself to sleep at 27, I was so lonely. Soon after was introduced to my husband, was married at 29, just had first baby at 35. I am so happy. It can happen for you, until then

Me and DH got together at 29 - moved in at 30, first baby at 32, married at 34, second baby at 36 (12 weeks ago). I was perpetually single at 27, thought I'd be on my own FOREVER!!
