Anyone want to cheer me up and tell me how they met their DH in their 30s?

[TakeMeToTheBallGame]

Cupid is having a laugh with me today. 3 wedding invitations in the one whump.

I would also like to hear similar stories!!

I was 31 when I met dh, tbh meeting men wasent a problem I used to go out a lot ,it was meeting someone who wanted more than a casual fling ,the was single for most of my 20,s bar the odd fling or occasional short term relationship,I met my dh as I was friends with and worked with his sister ,she introduced us and it was supposed to a a one night stand yet 15 years two kids later here we are!

31 met at work 12yrs later and 2 kids at 43. It can happen.

34 on a Neilson holiday in Kenya. 44 and 2 DC now. I had totally given up and was planning ivf babies with a sperm donor. I’ve got several friends who met their DH at 38 and gone on to have DC.

34 met at a dinner six of us women organised, we each brought a single man. 2 marriages from that evening.

It was very hard going at times but he was a wonderful man, we did love each other and we had our beautiful son. Probably enough of a happy ending.

I was 33. Got a temp work contract after being made redundant. He was in my team. He is 6 years younger but he made the move and we have been married 3 years

We’d been friends for a few years, part of the same friendship group but I’d never thought about dating him. We then went away with some others and ended up spending a lot of time today and then he asked me out. The first few weeks were weird for both of us - moving from friendship to dating but then it clicked and all is good

I did! He's younger than me and we are now married with 2 kids (born when I was 36 and 38). I was utterly hopeless too after getting chucked by long term idiot boyfriend that I had wasted late 20s and early 30s on.

Me! I met DH when I was 38 and he was 37 online . Had dd when I was 40 we got married last year when I was 45.

30 and met partner online. We've been together over 4 years and feels way more secure than any relationship I had when younger that may have lasted longer. I felt like I knew myself and knew what I wanted by then and wouldnt compromise or accept anything less than I felt I needed or deserved. Hang in there, you'll meet the person for you and if you don't there are other options for a happy life.

I do.think you have to be proactive though in your 30,s if you want to meet someone and have the "happy ending " !ongterm relationship ,kids etc ( if you want children of course)you can't just rely on randomly meeting someone I like the pp,s of the dinner party and bringing single men suggestion ,whilst it nothing might come of it at least you are getting out there and meeting new people .

Totally! Met DH in my early 30's. Baby at 36. Married a few years later. All good

I was 33, he was an older work colleague that I had a crush on (friends would always ask how was it going with X) classic work Xmas party scenario, now been together about 16 years and have a gorgeous 12 year old dd.

My good friend was similar, it was her 32nd birthday party and there was a handful of her exes trying to put the moves on, someone had brought along a cute, slightly younger guy, tada, 20 years and two lovely kids later!

I suppose we were both in our early 30s but I have loads of mates that have met people in their mid to late 30s too!

I was 36 and we met on holiday, our kids were friends in the pool and we got thrown together for 10 days. Turns out he was lovely and we now live together.

I was 34, he was 39. We were linked by friends Of friends, so knew each other in passing and apparently he had liked me from afar. Invited to his birthday gathering with others and it went from there. Been together 20 years now!

I was 40 when I met my OH on OLD. We moved in together after 6 weeks and are still together 11 years later!

32 met at work, married at 37 1 pfb at 39. Still think he is ❤️

Met my DP on tinder of all places when I was 31. Didn't expect much from the date (coz you know swipe right if you think they're fit or whatever) and was set on the single independent life after a bad break up few years previous, but we had a really good time. He took me for an Italian, got on great so went for some cocktails after. Then after a few drinks went into a club until 2am .

3 years later we're expecting our first baby and getting married next year. He is the loveliest most caring man I have ever met. Not what you would expect from a tinder date

I met my husband at work, I was 41 and he was 37. Started going out at Christmas and married the following September. Soon to be celebrating our Silver Wedding Anniversary.

Oh these are good

36 on Tinder. Married at 39.

31 on Tinder. He’s a military officer and I had never been keen on dating one of them! Three years later, married and TTC.

Met my dh just after turning 32, on OLD. 11 years later and three dcs. Don't panic, don't settle. I agree with a pp about being proactive. I was very honest with dh about wanting long term commitment and dc from fairly early on in the relationship, once I felt he was right for me.

I was 32 when I met my DH at a ballroom and latin american dance class.

OLD following a very traumatic divorce. I was 36 with two boys aged 7 and 10. He didn't have any.

I didn't fancy him at first and totally "friend zoned" him. But slowly feelings started to grow and we ended up together.

I'm now 39 and 28 weeks' pregnant with our little girl 😍
