Can a woman in her late thirties be marriage material?

Ten years is not “slightly older”

I am devastated but I always wanted to be married and have a family. I just picked the wrong one who developed mental health issues and dragged me down with him.

Will anyone still consider me marriage material?

I am classy, physically fit and considered moderately attractive. I love to cook, decorate, play with my nieces and travel. I also love to workout and decorate.

I am looking for a good quality man who wants a wife and a family.

Look for divorced guys who found lemons like you did. Aim for ones with kids so if you can't have any, its no big deal.

Absolutely! You’re a good quality person who has learned a lot about how to give full effort to a relationship. Your next partner will be lucky to have you!

That doesn't exactly make me thrilled!

I’m an unmarried childless 48 year old woman. So I’m not what you want to be, but I’m happy and ok. And I’ve dated a lot and now am in a long term relationship and have some insight.

First, what city do you live in?

Second, do you have a good job and no debt? That helps

Third, my advice is you focus on dating single or divorced childless men only right now. Go on lots of apps. Go on lots of first dates.

Fourth, here is the good news. A lot of divorced men start arriving on the market in their forties. So once you get to the age where you are willing to date divorced dads (I would not advise that at this age as you are still marketable for thirty something single men) there WILL be men for you to date. They have the baggage of being divorced dads, but plenty of them are cute and nice and funny and smart and fun to date. Your dating life will not be over just because you turn forty

I am 38 years old single man and I have a lot of friends my age and older who are single and/or divorced. I will say this though most men who are not married by 40 there are issues with them I am sorry but its true. My friends who are divorced with kids are just so much more natural at dating relationship etc....

Most men are trash no matter if married or not.

You sound like a close-minded biatch

Yes, and it can be anyone. Don’t listen to these people you categorize/ limit possible options.

I will say, an easy separator for women, is a high drive in the bedroom. Especially if you are fit, Most woman, are no where close.

huh? It's simple biology. The OP doesn't have very many good child-bearing years left, so unless she finds someone who wants to move very quickly, it would be very dangerous for her to have a child.

I think you have great chances of finding someone and building a family, but if you have the financial means, freeze your eggs now. Why not help your odds of getting the future you want.

Besides genetic abnormalities, risk of a variety of other conditions, like autism, increases significantly with geriatric pregnancies. Please don't have biological children, OP.

Yes, if you want to have your own kids, this is the only responsible way to do it.

You want a kid, not a husband.

Act accordingly.

Terrible advice. Avoid the ones with kids. Date men with no kids who want to try but won’t be devastated if it doesn’t work out. Have your own kids or make peace with having no kids. Getting in the middle of another couple’s kids and an ex spouse can be pure hell.
