do people who got married young feel envious of people who got married older 35+?

[RetroMy]

Sometimes?

married young I mean 18-24 years old vs over 35 years old.

I do because being married young didn’t give you a chance to develop your interests as an individual or sexually because you were too busy pleasing someone else at that age. Trying to make a relationship last that started that young is difficult and having children young would mean you didn’t get a chance to experience youth by yourself.

Anyone else?

I feel like I’m ready to start my life over again. Now. No longer together and happier.

I got married at 24, best decision I've ever made, been married more than 20 years now. Had kids late 20s/early 30s.
Bought our first house pre-marriage and now almost mortgage free.
We've travelled extensively and lived overseas for a few years. I took time out from my FT career to be at home with the DCs while freelancing, DH's career has flourished throughout, and mine is too now I'm back at work FT.
We've got degrees, post grads and a masters between us, some achieved post-marriage.
We did all of this together, as a team. We love and like each other very much. Marrying young worked for us.

My youngest is the same age as most friends oldest, 18.
I’m now in a position to go and do all the things they did in their 20’s early 30’s but I go where I want and not the so called hot spots. Plus I have more money to enjoy it.

I got married at 22. I still fancy my husband like mad. 20 years later my heart flipflops when his car pulls into the drive.

A house bought in 2011 wouldn't have 'massive equity' in 2021

We were able to buy in 2010 at about the same time we got married. Six years later we sold the place for well over double what we paid for it.

Not at all! I got married at 24 and haven't changed as a person at all really since then! I have been married for 17 years and it hasn't all been plain sailing, but neither has any marriage I have ever known, and I don't think those who married later are immune from this. DH and I are a couple but we're also individuals, so I never felt our partnership held me back - quite the reverse in fact.

You're seeing all the teen lovebirds... I thought I'd never get over my first deep love at 18... truly.
Guess what I did and met and married very well, 2 beautiful (almost grown) children.
The guy I cried so hard for, broke my heart, didn't look at another guy...
Bald as an egg and working in a second-hand bookshop.
