Who was single 35 and went on to have children/marriage

[Willing2acceptAdvice]

Hi all,

I was wondering if some of you could give me your stories. I’m not journalists or similar. I just have a few concerns about a predicament I’m in and could do with your stories to give me light at the end of my tunnel.

Who here was single 34, 35 + and went on to have a family and children? How old was your partner when you met him or her?

Thanks a million in advance

I had given up hope of ever meeting anyone and was enjoying the single life when I met my now DH at 38. We married at 39 and had DS at 40. We've had our moments probably because we didn't know each other but I also feel we were great about not messing around

I was nearly 34, married at 35, first kid 36 and second kid at 37. I'm now 39. My husband is 4 years younger than me

Met at 33
Married at 33
Babies at 34 and 36
He’s 2 years younger

Meghan Markle?

Met DH at 40, Married 10 months later. Had DC1 at 42, DC2 at 45

Met xDP at 36, had DD at 42, split up at 44, met 'new and improved' DP at 46 , now 51 and loving it! I did worry (too much in retrospect) at 35 that I'd never meet anyone...but seem to have proved myself wrong twice.

In LTR through my 30s no dc or marriage, split up at 39. Happily single til met dh at 44. Surprise dc + marriage at 45. Dh walked out at 50. Happily single again.

And xDP was 2 years younger, DP is 1 year younger.

I met DP when I was 38 and a year later I was Pregnant and then had DD when I was 40. Never saw this coming, nothing was planned and it’s all very unlike me!

Me!

36 - met DH
37 - engaged
38 - married
39 - baby no 1
40 - baby no 2

And chuck a couple of house moves in for fun as well!

My best friend was single this time 2 years ago at 36. She's now engaged, bought a house with her chap and is 8 months pregnant with her first baby.

I was single at 35 and sad and desperate for kids and a husband and financial stability. I woke up crying alone many many many nights.

I don't know how it happened, but those worries faded away. I had some boyfriends and heaps of close female friends. I still don't have much money, but I have a great partner who makes me smile when he enters the room and I can't imagine my life would've been better if I'd settled down when I wanted to.

Sometimes you don't know what the future holds. Life is so stressful but that's the same for everyone and it's also sweet when we least expect it.

Should add I'm 45 now.

Thank you all for your kind posts pls keep them coming in it’s helping a lot

My sister had a child at 37 then a year later split with her OH. 2 years afterwards met her new partner and they've now been married for 7 years

I was miserable, alone and feeling very hard done by. Met DH in a bar, yes a bar, at 32. He was 34. We couldn't actually be together (long distance) for 2 years. DD is very adorable!

Single 33, after leaving an eight year marriage which didn't work. Now 34 almost 35 and 38weeks pregnant! Partner is almost 37

Divorced at 33, met dh at 34, married at 36 and had child at 39. Don't ever let anyone tell you it's too late!

Met my Hubby at 34 (he was 35),
Baby at 37, Married at 38 and then baby #2 at 39.

Still together, now 44 : )
We met at a local sports club night!

DSis met her DH at 36. Married a month later. DS at 38 and DD at 40. Still married. :)

Me, met DH at 36, married a few months later, DD at 38.

I met my DH at 32 and we got married a year later. We now have 2 DDs aged 9 and 6. Although it may not be what you want to hear, as I turned out to be infertile and our DDs are adopted.

DD1 came to us aged 1, after 7 years of marriage. DD2, her birth sibling, came to us 3 years later, also aged 1. So there really was a happy ending.

Met exh at 34. Married and had baby at 37.
Divorced him 16 years later.
Met current dh at 54.

Was 38, had a bad OLD night before, went out with friends the next night to drown my sorrows and met my now DH. He’s 4 years younger. We got pregnant pretty quick and now married. To think I’d nearly given up!!!

My husband was 39 when we met and is 42 with a baby daughter now...he never thought he'd get married and have kids as had not had any luck before meeting me; he is overjoyed.
My father was 49 when he met my mother, 55 when I was born (youngest of 3) and they were together 35years.
