I’ve just been to look, and now that I am approaching my 30th birthday (as are my peers from school, of course) I see a pattern forming.
Most of the people I went to school with got married, or are getting married between the ages of 28 and 31. Many of the girls I knew are having their first babies in the year of their 30th birthdays. Some of them are having their second or third by now, but many are childless still.
I don’t fit the pattern at all!
I got married aged 22, seperated just before my 26th birthday and divorced just after my 28th…. I feel like I’ve experienced much in my short years.
Haven’t had any kids yet, but probably will in a few years time.
I am grateful for the fact that I have the choice how to live my life. People just two generations ago couldn’t do that so easily. How many people in their 80s and 90s now would have escaped from their husbands and wives if society had let them?
A lot more than we realise, I bet.
