dave22 Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 I am in my mid 30s now and have been thinking that maybe I should have settled down when I was younger. It seems to me that the strongest relationships (or marriages) are among people I know are those who have been together since their early 20s. I want a close relationship where both sides are willing to put in an effort, but it seems most women around my age are not that interested in that type of relationship. They seem to be too caught up in their careers, too skeptical of love and only interested in getting married so they can have a family. Those who started earlier seem to be more interested in their partner and less interested in themselves. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? And where can I find someone who is interested in putting their relationship first? haha
thatone Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 i'm in the same boat. admittedly, i dated younger until the last one i broke up with, and after making the mistake of assuming she was different from the others (when in fact she was a 33 year old walking around with a 22 year old head on her shoulders) i'm getting a lot less optimistic. i will tell you that while i was on the fence on the whole marriage/kids thing before, i have now made up my mind. i'm over the idea that i can have kids. i'll be 35 next month, and there's no way i want to be stuck in one location until i'm 55-60 taking care of kids, it's not happening. if you find someplace teeming with educated women that don't want children, let me know .
