Definitely. I am almost 30, and I started dating extremely late (26). I'm happy with who I'm with right now, but I envy people who met their significant others in their teens or early 20s. They were able to grow together throughout early adulthood. I had to go through it all alone. I will do everything possible to make it so that my kids don't have to experience the same thing.
- damagednoob 9y ago> They were able to grow together throughout early adulthood. That's a double-edged sword. Sometimes people grow apart.
- xor1 9y agoTrue, but better to have loved and lost, right?
- Yetanfou 9y agoThat depends on what the alternative was. For those who have been pining after love but did not find any until later 'having loved and lost' might be a desirable alternative. For those who've been busy with other things - study, research, discovery, what have you - and never really thought about finding themselves a partner 'having loved and lost' would be a net-negative.
- heedlessly2 9y agoeh, depends how much alimony and child support you pay after the divorce.
- nserrino 9y agoThe other commenter referenced growing apart as a risk, and there were definitely "growing pains" for me and my partner. But ultimately I agree with you that it is really valuable to grow through early adulthood with someone if you find the right person. Glad you found someone to grow with now though!
- Double_a_92 9y ago26 is considered extremely late? ._.
- eru 9y agoIt's pretty late in the western world.
