is 33 too late to marry?

Porchsitter

I went to college at 28, graduated at 32 and was married two months later. That was this past February. I will say that it would've been no different if we would've waited for a year or more even. I still don't think there is such a thing as being too old for anything at 30-something.

I know way too many people that married in their 20's and are regretting it now. I say you're right on track

just tina

its a good age. anything else really is too young.

I'm a similar age to you and none of my friends are married a few have started getting engaged in the last year or so. Over here getting married in your 30s is pretty much the norm.

I am 26, married for 4 years, now divorced.

When I marry again *cough* I hope my girlfriend doesn't think either of us are too old.

well thanks everyone for their pep talk. what doesnt help is that most of my friends are married/will get married soon. for people from india, 28-29 is the upper limit of marriageable age.

anyway i would love to hear more opinions. could do my state of mind some good. thanks everyone.

Getting married at a certain age because it's expected by society is one of the worst reasons for getting married.

I got married at 17. It worked for a while, but ended in divorce...

If I'd have waited a while, til I knew who I was and where I was going it might have been better in the long run. I don't regret either my marriage or having my children when I did, but at 33 now, I hope that I've learned from the mistakes of my youth.

It's never to old to get married, and although there is the question of children to consider, I know plenty of people well into their 30's having their first child.

Work on having fun in your life and the rest will come with time. A big part of the breakdown of my marriage came from the fact that we both had a lot of growing to do, and unfortunately it included growing apart.

really am i likely to find anyone willing to marry me at 33 odd???

divorcees are ok, but single moms are not. not because i hate kids, but because i simply cant take the responsibility of raising kids.

If you find the right woman, maybe the fact that she already has children (if she does) won't matter.

I hope thats the case anyway, cos I have four

You don't have to be sorry It was the right thing to do. All I'm saying is you are as likely to find someone at 33 as you are at 23. Age is just a number
And at least you know yourself well enough to be honest about what you need in a partner. At 20 I barely knew myself at all.
