Who`s mid 30s-40`s watching all the mates settle down and questioning is it just them! or the old Hollywood fantasy world saying of we just haven't met the right person yet!

I have an amazing daughter and all ready done the whole "where gonna be together for ever thing" with her Mum which lasted 9 years. All though she is still my best friend now.

Credit to people who are 15-20 years into their relationships and still happy! :)

Am 34 by the way. Have a nice home with all the boys toys and seem to be dating lots but getting bored after a few dates and jumping ship!

Think its going to take someone special to show me the light again!

Any way!! super random post by me!!
 
The worst thing is it's always seen as the need to do thing with life, settle down, get married, have kids pay off a huge mortgage for your family sized home. I'm still young but none of it interests me yet in the slightest, I know it can all change when you meet "the one" but until then I'm quite happy being single after a 3 year relationship.
 
Interesting, because 9 years is quite a long time for a relationship to work, and then just stop.

Was it starting to be clear for a long time before that it wasn't really right?

Kudos to you for staying friends by the way. I know many people who have intended to and failed, and it must make things much easier on your kid.

And you see in 10 years time most, if not all will end up divorced, separated and single parents.

Its not the need thing to do in life, its what the British society/culture expects us to do.

Traveling around Europe at the moment, you be surprised in places like France and Portugal how many women in their mid to late 30's don't have kids or want to.

I hold my hand up, so did I.
 
22 years with mine and I'm 43 now. Relationships are a dice roll at best - if you're lucky you both roll the same and grow up together.

I've got friends who are perfectly happy with their partners but live apart. The bottom line is if you're happy then don't worry.
 
Hang on, you spend nine years with a lass, have a kid with her, and you're still best friends. Why on earth did you break up?
 
I'm 27 and today is my 8 year wedding anniversary, wouldn't change it for the world.

To each his own.

Just hit 40 here. I realized I wanted kids when I was in my mid-late 20's, but I didn't think I would ever meet the right person. Of course, out of the blue, I did meet the right person when I was 30 and got married about 6 months after meeting. 10 years in and we have a 2.5 year old little boy and are trying for another (worst "I'm having lots of sex" post ever :p ).
