[quote=Anonymous]I would say, start the research and keep dating/figuring out what is right for you. Process can take a couple years, but you sound like a good candidate.  when I was 34 I thought marriage was out the window too, and by 35 I figured my eggs were toast.... (sorry for that mixed metaphor!).  I had vaguely toyed with adopting or having a child on my own, but decided to wait until I was closer to 40. I met DH at 37, married and pregnant at 38, with #2 coming at 41. You never know. It does sound, however, like you've made some poor choices in men--maybe there was no way of knowing with #1, but with #2? Usually there are clues you're dating someone who has a family (not just another woman, but a family!!!). Perhaps some self-exploration is in store to help you make better choices when it comes to men.  know I had to do that in order to recognize and appreciate a good man and break my patterns of falling for messed up, emotinoally unavailable (but somehow intriguing and exciting) men. Good luck. [/quote]
