[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I met my husband at 35. He was 49. Neither of us had been married before. Neither of us is crazy. I did waste some time on knuckle-draggers like you and your friend in my 20s and early 30s. That's why I was so old. [/quote]

How long have you been married, if you don't mind me asking? (NP here)[/quote]

2 1/2 years.[/quote]

Hope it's going well for you guys. I'm also 35 and some of my friends who have gotten married recently have been so stressed with trying to get pregnant right away that it's impacting their marriages. I don't think that has anything to do with never being married before, though!  :lol: OP's question seems a little silly to me.[/quote]

Well, I married at 37 and got pregnant right away, but have lost several pregnancies and still have not been able to have a child as I stare down the barrel of 40. Now we're spending a fortune on IVF, and we are not wealthy people. This has all been tough on the marriage, but getting married later in life is tough even without bringing children into it. It's hard to merge lives and homes after being on your own and independent for so long. My husband has been a much better sport about it than I have.

OP's question is absurd, though. It's completely normal for people - especially in this area - to marry later in life. D.C. is a very career-oriented town, and I think society has developed a resistance to commitment. You have to be so open and accepting to fully let someone else into your life - at any age, but particularly the older you get. People are generally not that way anymore, even if they think they are. Yet our culture is still built for couples - hopefully it'll become more singles-friendly. [/quote]
