Did anyone else's social circle go a bit relationship mad at 27?

[MusicalCranberries]

Everyone seems desperate to be married (or at the very least engaged). And it all seems to move so quickly- the next two couples I know to be married started seeing each other at around 25/26.

No. We were all well into our 30's.

A lot of my friends who had been in serious relationships broke up with people around that age. It seemed to be a bit of a “if it’s not quite right what’s the point” sort of time.

It definitely was a manic few years for us around that age with weddings and engagements. But most of our friends getting married then had been together since uni or whatever. Just turned 40 now and a few are getting divorced! 😬🤣

There’s a second wind in late 30’s.

My sister did say the divorces would be rolling in next!

I think it could be very easy to get carried away, especially with social media. Every time I log onto FB, there's a new house, ring or baby.

Yes! Give it ten years and the divorces start.

I had my first relationship at 27, most of my friendship were single or casual, in our group one person is married and two (including me) have children.

Lots of people from school seemed to suddenly get married and have babies by 30.

But most of my close friends didn’t stick to such deadlines. Babies around 40 now seems like the new normal.

Lots of marriages and babies between 30 and 35 then lots of divorces or long term relationship breakdowns around 40 to 45.

I was giving the divorces 5 years, interestingly enough!

Yep, everyone got married late twenties, baby no 1 by thirty. Sad to say we've already seen a couple of divorces but thankfully these were pre children couples so each have been able to go their separate ways.

Are your social circle all the same age or something?

Around that age, although mainly buying houses.

I did lose a long-time friend who couldn’t cope with the fact that I was getting married before her. She just went completely batshit.

No. We weren’t the Borg.
