At what age did you find your happy loved up ending?

[ResetandRestart]

Just that really.
How old were you when you found your person and found real love?

Just interested....

I met my DP aged 18. In retrospect it was a mistake - I should have ended things at 25 but stupidly, I got scared and felt "too old" to start again ! I wish I'd have found MN already back then.....

53. I left my ex when I was 50, met my now husband just before the divorce was finalised and we have been together for 10 years now. Neither of my adult children have contact with their father anymore, but they (and their children) adore my husband and call him their stepdad even though he was not around during for their growing-up up years.

51 and still not found them

You’re right. I miss him every day. But I think the worst thing is my DC missing out on an absolutely stellar dad.

A few years ago I would have said 21.

Now I'm divorced and I'll say 45. At least I hope. We've been together 2 years and he's the best person I've ever met. He's the best person a lot of people have ever met.

I'm a ridiculously lucky woman.

It's not an "ending" though is it? It's a beginning. When you have to learn to navigate your way through life as a couple, and sometimes you can't stand each other or get bored, but you take the long view and somehow make it work.
OP, I think it might help you to take a less romantic view of life.....

31 when we got together. He was ready a couple of years before me!

38 when I really wasn't expecting to. Had just come out of a long term relationship 8 months previously. That was 11 years ago, still together.

51 and it's happening right now.

38, was in the process of divorcing my ex husband who I had been in a miserable marriage with for 13 years. Went in a date just expecting to have fun and make a friend and bam, there it was!

19, which is 27 years ago now 😲

moved in at 21 married at 24

37. Together 10 years, married for 4. Bliss!

19. We got engaged six months later and married a year after that. Sadly he died just before our 49th wedding anniversary, two years ago.

39. Sadly he passed away suddenly eight years later, but I have my two kids to remember him by.

37

51, well I'd like to think so. It's still early days, but it feels just right.

I'm 62 and still waiting. Men and husbands have come and gone. None of them were my great love. They were barely adequate. I'm not concerned any more and I'm not looking.

42

after about 15 years of occasional flings, toxic “relationships” and mainly being alone. Was entirely happy with being alone for quite a few years after realising the aforementioned were shit and I actually quite liked my own company and living my own life.
Then the most lovely man in the world came along- I think unless he had been as wonderful as he is I would have been alone forever (and absolutely fine with that) because my life was close to perfect.

38, was lifelong single before that, we've been together 10 years now and married for 5

I haven't 😂. I love the fact that people have done though.

I'm too bloody fussy and a nightmare to live with. I just live in hope of swinging from the chandeliers with someone again though. They'll just have to live elsewhere now, too stuck in my ways.

21 I’m now sixty .. still adore him ❤️🤩 soul mates .. had our moments but very much still in love and I am so grateful

20

19, married at 25 and still very happily married 20 years later

Met at 29. Married 3 years later, been happily married for 20 years.

45 yo, married for 20 years.
So far, never.
