re: For those who divorced before the age of 30

When she started working with a bunch of women in a doctors office who were all on their 2nd or 3rd marriages and told her she would be better off without me.
When her mother moved in with us. Sad part her mother moving in with us saved her marriage since her and my ex father in law were talking about divorce because of bills and money issues. You should have read the letter she wrote him.
Come to think of it mine left me a letter the day she moved, her mom wrote her dad a letter, and both marriages were rocky because of money and bills and fighting about them.

I see this talking point a lot - I WANT to have my kids when I'm in my mid 40's and raise them until I'm in my early 60's and not a year sooner. Why would you want to spend your 20's and 30's lugging around kids? I'm finally getting over going out and partying and banging 30-70 unique chicks per year. Plus my career has really taken off and I've gotten promotions based on being a single dude with a grad degree who can travel 80% of the time.

Everyone is different. Some are ready earlier, but I would say that today's culture promotes later marriages.
You also have to realize even 17 years ago most people didnt go to college. Most everyone goes to college after HS (4 years average I assume), and then you add in that most people right out of the college have debt ($20k average), and they get either a low paying job (and have to start making payments on student loans), or they go into post-grad education which could take another 2 years, (3 years law, many years med). So all in all, education generally takes longer, and establishing financial independence takes longer, and once you've got through all of that, you could be very different when finally becoming independent.

Being married, and then being married WITH kids is two totally and completely different scenarios.

I got married at 22 then one day out of the blue he decided he didn't want to be married anymore so we divorced before we both were 30. Best thing to ever happen to me! I can't imagine how bad my life would be with that bastard.

Got married at 19 1973, moved out at 22 1976 & divorced in 1977. Been divorced since then......Have had some really good long term relationships, never got married again & at 61 don't see that happening.
He family was very, very successful as in millions, her Dad wanted to run every aspect of our life & especially mine as to what I did for a living/how I dressed, ad nauseum.
Had I stuck around I'd probably be set though giving up on who I am just was not me.
Single is great & I'm not at all lonely

Waiting for SFP to come tell us about how it's stupid to get married early and that men hold their value much longer than women. Always makes me feel better about myself

I got married the first time in 1999 when I was 23. Divorced a year later. Met my 2nd wife a year later then married her in 2004 in hopes of getting a family going but lost her to Leukemia a year later(3 months after Katrina).
Finally, the 3rd time around, married in 08(I'm a glutton for punishment, huh?) and had our first child in 2010 when I was 33. Had our 2nd in 2013 when I was 36... So I'll be 55 by the time my youngest is out of high school...
Things don't always turn out the way we planned... LOL

A couple of days after the ring hit my finger. I felt trapped. Was done 9 months later.

I want to meet and play with my grandchildren

My mom was at my sons birthday party this weekend and the mother of one of the kids asked her which one was hers. She said none but you are now my new best friend.
Not really relevant to the thread but sir wanting to have kids in his mid 40s made me think of it. No way would I want to deal with a new born in my mid 40's. That means you're paying for college when you should be retiring

I married at 26, but wish I had done it sooner. School and work prevented it. But, being married hasn't been easy. We have almost killed each other a few times. Both of us are committed though, so we have stuck it out. I just wish I had my kids when I was younger. Outside of adultery, people give up too easy. You have to change from looking out just for your interest, to looking out or your family's interest. I feel like a lot of people have a hard time giving up the safety net of their parents, hobbies, etc. You have to be devoted, as gay as it sounds.

Why tie yourself down when you are young. The best part was when I had graduated and had a real job, actually had money to play with.
Because they drop the ultimatum of "marry me or I'm gone." Pretty sure that's how most engagements happen.

Lugging around kids.
You mean raising kids? enjoying seeing them grow up? Spending time with them and teaching them and helping them grow into good, decent people?
Fulfilling my biological imperative.
I'm sure you'll be a great dad.

Oh most definitely.
Definitely no chance at all of meeting women at the park, or sports things, or activities, etc.
Absolutely no chance for a young single dad to tap some strange.

Men are an appreciating asset and women are a depreciating asset.
Men get better looking until middle aged and make more money in general, women go downhill looks-wise starting in college. They get paid less too and often leave careers to be mothers.

Dear Ms. Pretty,
I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor.
My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here.
From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain.
Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" and "money" : Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square.
However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year.
Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worse 10 years later.
By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a "trading position".
If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased".
Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income.This has better chance than finding a rich fool.
Hope this reply helps.

J.P. Morgan CEODear Ms. Pretty,

not divorced but wanted to chime in...I married my wife when she was 17...I was 21...I'm 34 yrs old now and have my oldest is in HS and my youngest in 1st grade.....and we are going strong....I plan on being a young, kickass pawpaw...and my wife and I love each other...has it been easy?...hell no...but this quote from Bob Marley sums it up...
people nowadays have no grit...no work ethic...when it comes to relationships...to me...staying faithful and together is a challenge I have taken on...and so has she...and we are better for it...there are always moments where you think you hate your spouse...9/10 it is you that needs to change....not them...if both parties think that way...divorce lawyers would be out of business...
