Search Results: age to get married

Of course, I reached that age threshold years ago. It feels weird knowing some of my peers already have kids in middle school or are high school teachers.

Of course, my adolescent years sucked, but sometimes I miss the days when I didn't have to be an adult. I miss the days when I had those "rose colored glasses" where I didn't see many of these adults' true colors and how shitty they or the world really is. I miss the days when I had more of a support system and was given the benefit of the doubt when I was naive or made a mistake.

I never had a girlfriend in middle school or high school anyways. I didn't meet the love of my life and my first real girlfriend until I was 29. This is one of the few positive events in my life that brought positivity to my adulthood. We are about to get married, and it will be our very first (and hopefully ONLY) marriage. Better late than never!

2004 was my favorite year. 2005 was quite decent. I moved in 2005 in the middle of 5th grade. 6th grade had some challenges but was OKish. 7th grade was the beginning of the decline. By the time 2008 rolled around going forward, I was in a severe and sharp mental health decline. I was going in and out of psych hospitals. I was told adulthood would be better. That couldn't be farther from the truth. At 18 throughout most of my 20s, I was in severe mental and emotional anguish. The involuntary hospitalizations continued.

By age 29, I managed to get my first real girlfriend and serious relationship. I am now engaged to be married, but I am far from normal. I still struggle with mental health issues and now physical health problems as well.
