Is being single and childless in you’re mid to late 30s normal and okay?

[Diana2828]

This actor Lucy hale was interviewed in one of her videos talking about how she’s 36 and no kids and not married and that’s okay but she wants to find a partner soon, the thing with her is that in her 20s she dated more than 5 man and those relationships didn’t last and now she is in her 30s saying it’s okay but wants to still get married soon do y'all agree?

While I didn't plan for it to happen, here I am still single and childless at almost 34 years old. If it doesn't happen by 39 or 40, I'm giving up. While I won't be spending 34 looking for love, I do hope it finds me one day.

It's ok if a woman doesn't want to have kids. If she does then the chances of pregnancy complications or birth defects (especially autism) go up a lot after early 30's. Biologically a woman's prime childbearing years are late teens to late twenties

Fertility gets very low at that age, it not normal, soon she going to be too old to be a mom.

For girls thats a really bad spot, your generally seen as properly fertile until 35. After that we know the whole child thing is gonna be a speedrun and hope for the best issue so men much younger than that probably look the other way. That cuts you off of a significant dating pool into the pool of people who have come out of a relationship, carry more baggage, etc. Ideally avoid it if you can.

It's much better than marrying and having kids with a man you don't love and don't really care about just so you can say you're married and have kids.

No matter what you do in life you always have questions about whether you did the right thing whether you're married or remain single. WHAT MATTERS is you being at peace with whatever decision you make. And NONE ONE ELSE can decide which is the right path for you for you.

[Diana2828]

Agree do you think she is at peace with her self in the moment she is? Sounds like no bc she said soon I’ll be in that situation but yet she telling young woman it’s okay to be single and not have kids when she wants it herself

[Opinion Owner]

I don't think at ANY age you become completely immune to the looks or judgements of others. So do I believe she's at peace? What is peace? I think she's accepted how her life has unfolded. Doesn't mean she's right where she wants to be but she still has hope. I think she probably hears that biological clock ticking loudly. She can be patient in waiting for the right guy. But waiting for the right might mean waiting and not having children. No matter what she says the REALITY is she's 36 and that reality ain't changing.

She's coping. Guessing you saw her on TikTok. Also willing to bet she blamed her boyfriend's for not being "real" men.

[Diana2828]

Do you agree with her?

[Ariesman81]

Nope

[Diana2828]

Why’s that?

[Ariesman81]

She wasted her best years of starting a family on who knows what. Probably fame and fortune. And now that she's hitting the end of her family creating years she's panicking. Her priorities are backwards, that's why.

[Diana2828]

I do know she has like 12 boyfriend in the past and was seeing someone again but I think that’s her issue is that she can’t commit for too long

[Ariesman81]

Nah, I get it. If marriage is her plan then she can't stick around to find out. Thing is, wives get locked down.

[DryGermanGuy]

Agree with… what now? 😵‍💫🤔

[Diana2828]

Being single in 36 is totally okay yet soon she wants to get settled and have kids

[DryGermanGuy]

It’s certainly not normal in the sense of common, but of course totally okay.

[slatyb]

There is no normal. It's common enough.
