  1. My son was born at 35.

My bf from school met her partner at 39 and had two kids.

I was 22, he was almost 26. 10 years on, married for 4, two kids, a dog and a mortgage. But like any marriage it’s a lot about learning to love each other again through each changing season.

Met DH at 35. I’m now 45, the guy I was with in my late teens was recently convicted of defrauding old ladies, and the one I was with during my 20’s has been divorced three times. So there are some bullets well dodged.

Not married but met my DP at 32. I accidentally got pregnant nearly straight away so had DS less than a year later. Not advocating that obviously but it does show just how quickly things can change. I'd been through a terrible break up and was more convinced than anyone I've ever met that I'd never meet anyone etc. You have plenty of time ahead

Fruitsconeandacuppa · 29/05/2025 15:22

I was 13 and he was 15. We haven’t been married long because I spent years in university. We are in our 30s now!

PurpleChrayn · 29/05/2025 15:28

You still have loads of time! Funnily enough Ive just met up with my best friend who met her last LTR at 27 and it ended 10 years later when she was 37 and no children. She thought her life was over. She met her current partner last year at 38. Not married yet, but she's now 39 and they have been together over a year and shes told me they are talking about engagement and starting a family soon.

Femalefootyfan · 29/05/2025 15:51

kthxbye · 29/05/2025 15:52

2 very long relationships (when I was 15 and then 23); single/dating losers from 30.. finally met my husband when I was 38. Plenty of road in front of you!

MalcolmMoo · 29/05/2025 15:57

toomanycatsonthedancefloor · 29/05/2025 15:59

We became friends at 29, got together at 31 (following a disaster of a relationship where my then boyfriend cheated on me and I was utterly devastated), married at 36. Absolute love of my life. You have loads of time. 💕
