Success stories - dating again at 30

4 replies

Hi everyone! I've just turned 30 and I'm going through a breakup with my DP of 4 years which is particularly sad as we were very happy but he doesn't want kids. I feel like there used to be loads of threads about success stories about finding the one in your 30s which has comforted me to read when we had a break near the beginning of our relationship, but I can only find a few on the search now ☹️ would love to hear some of your stories about finding the one (after the one) in your 30s to cheer me up xxx

Meet the Mr in a pub when I was 31, together since then. Marriage, home, two amazing kids.

Neither of us thought that night we would meet "a one", 2-3 weeks of trying to be cool, spent almost every night together since.

Advice:. Don't play games, don't be afraid of being hurt, keep being you. Enjoy it all whatever it is.

I met new fella when I was 39. Both of us have kids. Neither wants more.

Agree with advice from poster above. Be yourself, know your boundaries, accept that you may have to kiss some frogs before you find the real deal. Remember that dating is meant to be fun. Know your standards! Stay safe.

Ex fiancé moved out without telling me 6 weeks before our wedding. Ended up doing a project with a guy I had always thought was lovely at work. He built my confidence back up and treated me like a princess. We are now married with a little boy and a little girl on the way

Married 14 years to a horrible narcissistic man. I divorced him shortly after I lost my dad. 2 years on, no self confidence: 50 yes old, single mum & overweight & I've met the most amazing man through OLD.

12 months in & I still get butterflies when we meet. He loves me for who I am, despite my insecurities.
Have faith. Don't give up. There is love out there & someone for everyone.
Good luck - love yourself first ❤️
