Widowed with 2 DC aged 4 and 6. It seems a long time ago - and it was.

I was fairly newly married to DH no.2 with 1 DC of the 2 I have now.
Assumed I would be on my own at 40 after my first marriage broke down but instead I got an upgrade!

Married for 9 years.

Not 40 yet but planning to still be single. Been single pretty much my entire adult life through choice after becoming a single parent at age 18. Can't picture myself in a relationship.

Just my future husband a few months before I turned 40. Had been single about 5 years.

Turned 40 end of last year. Married for 18 months and pregnant.

Have been married before but that was a massive error.
