Feel like I'm going to die a spinster-what age did you meet a dp/dh?

[Justtwosecondspoppet]

I've been single far too long and am starting to feel like I'm on the heap-am still in my twenties but have never even received a "serious" tag on a relationship (despite a few hitting the two year mark). I want your stories of chivalry and knights in shining Audi's xx

Started going out with my ex husband properly when I was 23. Before that, my longest relationship was 18 months, but goodness knows how I stayed with him that long looking back!

Separated from my ex h 20 months ago, at the age of 33, and have been with my lovely new man for 6 months. I am now 35.

it is horrible to feel like this...

I am single mum to 2 ... and i feel like i will always be single... never have the nice things in life,never have a good standard of living etc...... although my dear brother has thrown me a life line and will buy a house with me.. to give me and the kids a better life_ god i love him. who needs a lover when i have a lind genorous brother...

I do miss the humpty pumpty though

Met dh when I was 34, dd born when I was 37.

having said that you are young.. go out and get whatever you want from your life while you can

good luck with it....

poppet, you must be sick of hearing this but ... you are really young. Time is on your side.

On meeting Mr Right, it is a numbers game. The more people you meet, the more likely you will hit on the right one. So get yourself out there. Meeting lots of Mr Wrongs or In-betweens is not great but it does teach you what you really value and what you are prepared to forego (like er, shiny Audis?) and makes you give up at some point of ever meeting someone and then, just then ...

Wow, so many posts! Thank you all and sorry I wasn't on earlier to read them all! My faith in humanity and non-single ness and riding off into the sunset with my very own Mr Right is fully restored you wonder women!! xxxxxxxxxx

And the advice has been wonderful too (p.s. blueshoes-I am NEVER sick of hearing that I'm young-being an sp makes you feel so old at times that it is FABULOUS to hear that you are young!!) xxx

met and married my ex at a young age - it lasted less than a year - we sort of fell into marriage - for want of a better phrase.

BUT I then spent a lot of time travelling, yes I had relationships - nothing really serious.

Then met dh at age 32 - within a matter of months we were married and dd1 was on the way. We will have been together 7 years this year and have three dds and moved to the other side of the world.

Okay - I had to go to the other side of the world to meet him but still - was in my 30's. Know a number of friends who did not meet their now dh/dps until their 30's.

I met dh aged 34 after being single for 5 years after difficukt divorce.We married 2 years later and I had dd aged 36 and ds last Dec age 40.

You have loads of time.Sometimes you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince.I did

Met dh when I was 34, got together when I was 35, got pregnant when I was 36, had first baby when I was 37, had second baby when I was 39 (thought I would have a bit of time off from all the excitement when I was 38!).

I found him when I stopped looking.

It'll happen when it happens - please enjoy your twenties and don't be in a hurry to settle down. Travel, stay up all night, read in bed until dawn, eat chocolate in the bath, enjoy the silence of a non-snoring partner etc etc etc!

hi clarag

i should change my name to chocpeanutknackered as I am def more tired with this little one than I was with dd!!
