[abesnt]

I'm just nosey

Edit: as in how long have you been
single / married / in a relationship

On my 40th birthday I was unhappily married, married just 4 yrs but together many more. 2 very young children.

Married 17 years, two kids 13 and 10

When I turned 40 I'd been married for 14 years and was a couple of months away from telling my husband I wanted a divorce.

Married 18 years with 3 children.

40 was living with partner of 3 years and thinking about ttc
50 was living with DD aged 8 and thinking about moving in with (new) partner of 4 years
56 living with DD 14 and partner of 10 years...and loving it!
60 (hopefully!) same as above but semi retired

You never know what's round the corner...

At 40 I'd been married 16 years (together 21) and had dd1(11) ds (9) and dd2 (7).

Still married to the same man but everyone is bigger now, dc are all in their 20s!

We will have been together for 23 years, married 15 years. We'll have a 19 and a 17 year old.

40, in an abusive relationship, but i hadnt quite realised
50, still in that relationship but had realized and trying to get out
60 (now) been single for 5 years, hooray!

Married 17 yers, together 23 years. 1 child.

Married with 2 almost grown dc
We have been together since we were teens, still married now, 25+ years

I was married for 16 years with a 6 month old IVF baby about to have a frozen embryo returned to me. Now married for 43 years with 2 dc including that frozen embryo.

Married for 11 years, pregnant with second (last) child.

married 21 years, been together since I was 19.

Thanks all.

So many have found a new happier relationship after 40.

I just think what if my situation ends up worse than it is now!!

Lots of widows too ❤️ 💐

Married for eleven years, together for twenty. Two DC ten and eight.

I was happily single at 40 after leaving an exhausting and toxic LTR a couple of years earlier. Living in central London and having a lot of fun.

Fast forward to 43, married, bought a house in the countryside, dogs and had a baby.
Life is unpredictable.

I got divorced at 40 after a 10-year relationship. Best thing I ever did & I’m never again sharing my home with anyone who’s not a cat.

I'd been dating someone for a few months and it seemed to be going great.

He took me away for the weekend for my 40th birthday and was just different somehow.

He denied there was anything wrong, but a couple of weeks later, he admitted he was finding it hard to come to terms with the idea of dating an 'older woman'.

He assured me that he'd come round once he'd got his head around it but I dumped him - not going to be with someone who had to get their head around the idea of being with me!

He was utterly shocked, cried and asked me to take 2 weeks to reconsider.

I didn't reconsider.

He was 43.

I'm 40 next month. I've been with my husband for just over 22 years married for nearly 13 years and we have 2 children both have just had their birthdays they're now 8 and 11. I think I read an article years ago and I did everything at the average age ie buy a house, get married, have a kid, have a second kid etc. I think we even own an average priced house abd earn and average income!

At 40 I was in a relationship with my current DP but not living together. I had a 12 year old and a 9 year old.

on my 40th birthday I had met my now-DH 9 days previously. We were in a travel group, so eying each other up on my birthday but nothing more 😅
now have been married 12 years and have a DS.
