If you were older than 35 and met your husband, please tell me about it and how you knew it was right

Feeling low and a bit lost tonight.

I date and I don’t think I’m too specific about a potential husband, I keep an open mind. It hasn’t happened for me yet and on a dark night it feels quite lonely! Anyone out there who met their one after 35, I would love to hear about it :)

I date. Try to be open minded. Feel like it just won’t happen now.

The thing is it's better to be happy on your own than with the wrong person. Only soeak and meet people who you really enjoy talking to. Then see if there's chemistry.

I met my ex at 35 after the breakup of a relationship. Got together too soon as I was convinced he was the one. Had more children with him but he's very damaged having been raised by a narcissistic parent. I split up with him and now late 40s I met someone amazing after a few months of OLD. I was extremely fussy and if this doesn't work out I will go back to being extremely fussy. I refuse to compromise on the important things in a relationship. This relationship isn't going to be plain sailing because we both have a lot on with work and children but we spend hours on the phone every day and when we meet it is amazing. Definitely quality over quantity. It's so nice to look forward to seeing someone instead of dreading seeing their car in the driveway.

So be fussy but if you enjoy chatting then arrange to meet and get to know each other.
