What age did you meet your husband?

[marie78280]

How old were you when you met your husband? How did you meet and how did you know that they were the one?
coming from my newly single 28-year-old that is feeling like she’s running out of time

thanks a lot

28 is still young. Tell her she's got tons of time to find her person.

34
We have 2 kids now.

Date aggressively and ruthlessly.

35, second time round for both of us so we ‘dated’ for a long time as we both needed to heal from previous relationships. I was 39 when I had DS and 40 when we married. Met online, had spoken to several people and met a few but with DH it was just different, we clicked straight away. Conversation was never hard and we had loads in common. It wasn’t love at first sight, there was an attraction there which grew as I got to know him more.

This exactly same for me! Totally worth the wait

I was 23, he was 30. Now 37/44 with three kids and a dog.

Met at a nightclub aged 18 and 19, now 60. I don't know that I have ever thought of him as 'the one' as I don't think there is one person for everyone. We met in the right place at the right time but I might have married someone else if we hadn't been at that nightclub that night in 1984.

I was 27, he was 28. Both in the same boat as you, out of long term relationships & panicking that there was nobody suitable out there (we both had some interesting dates before meeting). Met OLD & in first evening messaging we ticked off making sure we wanted the same things re kids/marriage etc. Seen too many friends a similar age waste months or even years to then eventually split when they get to discussing those. ETA we’re now late 30s with 2 DCs.

There’s still plenty of time! Just don’t waste it on anyone who doesn’t want the same as you or anyone who makes you doubt them/where you stand with them.

28, almost 29

34!!

17, he was 20
now 49 and 52 and just as smitten

We were both 20 now 42 married with two kids.

I was 17 and we met in local heavy metal pub, 50 years ago. I knew he was the one after a couple of months and we were living together three months later - it would have been sooner but landlords did it like renting to unmarried couples in those days. We got married when I was 21.

39! We went on to have two kids!

26 nearly 27. Engaged at 30 married 32.

We were both 20. He’s 54 today!

34 and have one child and another on the way. Met through OLD and was beginning to give up after almost 10 years single.

Both 19 , met at college
Been together 40 years
Married 30 years
2 DC

Cannot remember when I thought "he's the one"

2 years old. Went all the way through school together. Went separate ways. I had two kids. Meet up again 3 year ago. Now 1 year married with another child.

Gor together at 19. Still together age 52 with 2 kids and 2 cats

28 is still so young and loads of time.

People's lives work in different ways.

I met my now husband when I was 19. I fell pregnant accidentally 4 months into the relationship. Maybe it would've worked out different without thay, but I'm happy we are where we are now.

Married and now two children.

I think we put too much pressure on doing things a certain ages. Life will take you where you need to be

11 on the school bus,but we were just friends until we were 25/26 both out of disastrous long term relationships.
It's always worth thinking about people already in your life, people had said to us previously we should be a couple and we both laughed it off. A friendship is a good foundation. We're now in our 40s , married, DC.

Both 27. I don't know about 'the one' but he was a step up from my previous relationship. Decided to marry 4 years later - 32 when it happened. 30 plus years later now.

Same, met at 28, got together at 29

Met at 18/ 19. Dated from 21/22. Married around 30. Baby when nearly 32.

30. Got married when I was 33
