How old did you meet your husband?

[marie78280]

Currently 28 and single again after a failed relationship.
slowly losing hope.
when did you find your hudband how old were you back then?

This! 28 is so young. Don’t forget that things move quickly as your get older. So while the people I know who met at university may have waited 10 years to get married, those who met in their 30s or 40s got engaged/married within a couple of years. Focus on enjoying your late 20s and 30s, doing what you love, and you’ll probably find that you meet a partner that way.

28 then 42 - if I was 28 again, I'd give that one short shrift. There is no rush!

35 and had my daughter at 41.

Mind you I am now getting divorced at 47 so I’d be careful what you wish for! Although to be fair I have no regrets, he’s a great person in many ways and it is an amicable split. But I am happier on my own.

I was 17 and on a blind date at a Valentine’s Day Dance. He was at uni. He was with a girl. Met at a party the following week and that was it. Over 50 years ago.

I came out of a failed relationship myself at 28, met my husband when we were both 30. Married at 35, DS at 36.
Don't lose hope.((hug))

Both 32 when we met, married 11 years later after having 2 DC.

Oh, @marie78280, I remember also being 28 and feeling the hope slipping away. At the time, everyone seemed to be partnered up and I seemed to be stuck in a series of dates with uninspiring men, sort of dating for the sake of it…

Then I met DH, who was also 28. We married when we were both 29 and are still very happy at 60, it’ll be our 31 year anniversary later this year.

You are still so young. I know from experience that you don’t feel it but you really are. The right one is around the corner, you’ll see xxx

Met at 16 ,married at 23 been together 41 years .

15 married at 18
40th anniversary next year

I was 33 and he was 28. We’ve been together 7yrs (or 8, can’t remember 🫣) and got married last month. Also have a 5 and a 3yr old.

Met when we were both 31 - married at 35 and 10 year anniversary this year!

Met at 14, split up at 18, met again at 48, married at 50, still going strong (age 71 now)

Not met him.yet' im 55😂

Met in 1988, I was 28, he was 26, met through friends. Knew straightaway that we were serious about each other, got engaged about a year later and married 8 months after that.
I had not long split up from a relationship that was in a way quite abusive although passionate, and I had known from the outset that I would not settle down and have children with him because he wasn't emotionally stable enough. After we'd finally split, I knew I wanted someone I could start a family with, and that it was time to stop hanging round with the bad boys. DH was cool, funny and musical but had a proper job and was never a bad boy or in the slightest bit dangerous, which is what I'd gone for in my youth. I think if I'd met him earlier it wouldn't have worked, but it was the right time for both of us.

22 and he was 24 but my best friend met hers at 31 and they are happily married with 2 kids - happens all the time.

Met aged 28, married aged 29, had our child aged 30. That was thirty years ago and still happy as Larry.

I met my partner at 18. Unfortunately he died 6 months before the wedding after a 15 year relationship. So now I'm 35 and alone again.

Seriously, you are soooo young. I married in my twenties and it ended in divorce. I remarried in my 40s. The older you are / more you know yourself and what's important to you, the more likely you are to make a good match and havea good marriage, when the time comes.

I know a number of people your age (DCs all around that ages, so them and their friends). Very few have bf or gf let along committed relationships. Most aren't looking seriously yet either.

I was almost 19, he was a year older. Now - I'm 66, he's 67. Married 45 years

I was 33. Married at 34.

Not married but 37.

I spend about 3-4 years single before that after coming out of a LTR.

I dated a lot during that time and everyone kept telling me, I was too fussy etc but I really wasn't.

I just wasn't prepared to put up with any crap and thought it was worth waiting for a decent one. Met by chance.

20. He'd just turned 23 when we had our first date. That was 3 decades ago. Still together, still happy (though there have very definitely been some Interesting Times).

50 and my God I love him, he is the love of my life and worth walking through all the rubbish and trauma I have just to reach him. My favourite place is snuggled up with him

29 me 31 him . Weirdly he was the boy next door when we were small . Met him nowhere near our home town .

Oh my goodness I’m so sorry
