Hello everyone.
ice recently gotten out of a relationship and am beginning to get a little worried that i wiöl never find a suitable partner.
i am 28 and want to have children someday.
is my age the beginning of making compromises in a partner?
it feeld like everyone is settled down by now.
i want a loving kind educated partner wirh ambitions in life.
any success stories of how you met your partners on your late twenties or thirties without making compromises?

Please don't compromise on partner OP. Take it from me as someone who had a baby with someone I cared a lot about but knew deep down there were issues, it makes life so much harder when you're tied to someone forever through your children, especially if you have to live with knowing you compromised. I love my child and wouldn't ever take it back now of course, but being tied to my now ex-dh (after a hideous divorce) is exhausting and he's incredibly difficult. I'm now in a new relationship and have another baby with a man who I adore and am so compatible with, I met him when I was 33 and honestly it was like being struck by lightening. It was so unexpected but it felt like serendipity. He is perfect for me (not perfect all the time at everything but perfect for me 😅) and I do sometimes wish I'd had all of my babies with him.

It'll happen, it's hard coming out of a relationship and normal to have thoughts like this but the right person will be worth it. I hope you're okay after the break up.
