Is it too late for a husband and family?

[Confusedfuture91]

I am hoping for positive stories and advice please.

I am mid 30s and would really like to meet a special man, fall in love, marry, buy a property together and build a new life, including children.

Is this possible at my age? How do I make it happen?

It is absolutely possible.
I met my now husband at 36. I am now 43, married, with a house and two children.

You need to make sure that you're in a good place. Are you happy with yourself? That's really attractive.
Then, prioritise dating. Sign up to dating websites, go to singles events...whatever. Go on lots of dates, but don't waste time if they aren't right for you, or if they don't want what you want. You don't owe anybody anything, including your time.

Good luck!

Yes! I met DH in my 30s, married and had 2 kids. All my friends actually followed the same pattern. Not one of us had our now DH in tow at our 30ths!!!

Agree prioritise dating. I’m actually the only one if my friends who didn’t meet their DP online. Socialise lots, expand hobbies. I’m now quite happy I had a past before DH as although I’m older than a lot of mums at the school gates I never feel I missed out on anything when I was younger.

I met now DH just before I was 35, we are shortly celebrating 15 years of marriage. We have not had children, but I don’t believe that is anything to do with age when we met. We have so far had a good life, own a nice home, have had spells living overseas.

It is a bit of a cliche, but I stopped trying to make it happen and just focus on being happy myself. Then he came along.

I am 39, I met my partner last year, we now live together and I'm 15 weeks pregnant. It can and does happen. X

It's absolutely possible.
My brother went through a horrible divorce at 37. Couple of years by himself then joined online dating at 40.
He's now married with a baby. He and his wife are both 43.
Good luck!
