What age?

[Mai5x]

What age did you all meet your DP/DH, get married and have kids?

Just curious!

I was 29 when I met DH and he was 28. We were engaged and I was pregnant a year and a half later.

Ah that's lovely! Where did you meet?

16
21
25
38

Newsheet - is that meet at 16, married at 21?

Met at 18, in relationship from 20, engaged 21, married 22, first child a week before 24th birthday. Second child 26. Marrried 10 years

Technically I met my DP at around 14 in school but we only shared a one class and we didn't hang out or anything. We got talking on MySpace and met up and started dating when I was 19. We're engaged but not married and I've just given birth to our daughter at 31 😊

Newsheet - is that meet at 16, married at 21?

Yes. Another child 25.

38 is the divorce. I added a new category for you

Everyone around me is engaged/getting married and having babies! I'm not in that position at all, but I suppose there is no 'norm'!

Met when I was 25 and he was 28, married at 29 and 32, kids born when I was 33 and 35. Still very happy.

Where did you all meet your OH's?

I'm old-school, we met in a pub.

I was 25 when I met DH. He was 23. We got married 5 months later so still the same ages. Do not have children

Met at 24, Married at 28, children 29 and 31

Oh met at uni

You've only asked for people who are married with kids to comment so you might miss out on everyone in your position! You dont say how old you are but you probably aren't unusual!

Met at 14
Started going out at 24
28 now.

I have family and acquaintances and lots of work colleagues my age married or engaged and with kids or pregnant. Only one of my close friends is married soon to have a baby though. One is engaged. The rest are single or dating or cohabiting with no plans for marriage or kids any time soon.

General trend is for people to start things later. Highest divorce rates are also for people who married young. Don't worry about it....Unless you're in mid-late 30s and want kids in which case you may need to start considering your options (saving up and going it alone, adoption, meeting someone, etc).

mydogisthebest - wow, 5 months! Did you just know it was right?
