Other people advised her to take her time and trust the process– because if she rushed into a marriage for the sake of children, the nuptials might not last.
“You’re asking a whole other person to join in life with you. There is no way to rush this process. Don’t marry someone just because you want marriage and children,” explained Neonroli47.
“You have to be able to see yourself happy with them in the long run. Otherwise, after the children, when the life afterward starts to set in, and you are not happy with the answer to the question, ‘Is this it for the rest of my life?’ then you’re going to struggle again.”
Plus, a few people pointed out how a partner is not necessarily required to have children. If she does not meet the right man within her timeline (or at all), adoption is always an option.
Nonetheless, a bunch of individuals reassured her that she still had time to figure this out.
“I have talked to multiple women who had kids at 36, 27, and even into their early forties. The fact is that people are having children later in life now. And the people I talked to had their kids naturally,” said Raddi_maddi.
“Freezing your eggs is always an option, but I really think people don’t talk about how it’s becoming more common to have kids later in life.”
Are you approaching 30 years old or currently in your thirties? If you want kids but are single, are you also starting to feel some pressure? What advice would you give others in your situation?
