[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am mid 40s and divorced. I think I was done looking for love when I was 28 before I met my ex-husband because I was destroyed by a break up. I think by the time most people hit 30 they’re done with the love thing because you can’t really grow together if you’re getting married in your late 20s or later. I think love and marriage only works if you’re getting married from 22-27 or so.

I would never remarry because I did not see any benefits of marriage whatsoever and I’m not naïve enough to think that I’m going to find love like I did in my early 20s.[/quote]

I’m mid forties and still married. I met Dh in my mid twenties, got married at 29 and had 3 kids together in our thirties. We absolutely grew together. I feel we are drifting apart now in our mid forties. He hasn’t changed much but I have.[/quote]

You just proved my point exactly because you met in your mid-20s and you married by 29. It is completely different if you meet at 29 or 30 and get married in your 30s—that’s my point. I did not meet my ex until 30; he was 34. That is way too late to grow together. [/quote]

Pp again. While I am still married, I have several recently divorced friends and they are not as jaded as you. It sounds like you got burned by your twenties ex. My friends seem hopeful and optimistic with love and life. Perhaps it is because divorce is new.

I have another friend who was also burned by an ex in her twenties, got married twice and divorced twice. She is very bitter and jaded and hates the world, is annoyed at everyone and everything. She does not believe in love and often puts others down, especially married moms.[/quote]
