When did you meet your partner?

Hello

I've just come out of a long term relationship, and although I'm happier because we weren't right together, I'm starting to worry about actually meeting someone in the future now. I'm 28 which I know is young, but a couple years ago I pictured myself settled down by now and start to think of children.

I want a bit of time to myself to travel and focus on my career, but want to hear positive stories about meeting people in your thirties. If you split up with someone around my age, how old were you when you met your partner and had kids etc?

I was single almost my whole 20s despite dating a lot (literally hundreds!). Then met DH at 30, engaged at 31, married at 32, first baby at 33, ttc DC2 now at 34 V happy that I didn't settle for less

Met at 23, baby at 25, married at 27 and another on the way

Came out of a long term relationship with a baby at 28.
Met my partner at 30 went onto have three more kids in my thirties I'm 42 now. We've been together 12 years.

Wow so many of you met later on in life. I met mine very young. Sometimes I feel I missed out.

Got together with mine at 30, nearly 34 now. Was single with 2 children and he’s 8 years younger so never thought he would be interested, but hey good men do exist. You have plenty of time!

I became single at 28 and also felt the same after a long term relationship. Met my now ex at 29, had our DS at 31 but split when I was 34. So although not the wonderful love story, it's absolutely possibly to meet someone at this age and create a family life's

I met my DH at 21 but my Dad met his partner at 60 and they are amazing together
My best friend met her younger partner at 35 and has been with him 5ys they now have a 2yo and have just bought a cute country cottage.

Met 4 months after turning 30, married 3 years later followed up very closely by getting pregnant!
