    So who is with me in here??

    I know a handful of the members qualify for this area - just curious about any of the newer members who might be in this boat, and feeling quite old when you read posts about parents disapproving of your relationship and decisions about which college to go to

    I loved coming here for advice when I first joined but I've felt very out of place for some time. So I just want to get a feel of who is still here and who might be more recent members and up for the conversations of adult challenges like career moves, uprooting children, or even the wonder of finding love again since by this point we've all pretty much been in one major relationship that didn't work out!

    Don't feel left out, we all love you here I don't quite fit in, but my SO's over 30. Does that count?

        Me! Me!

        The funny thing is, I was just thinking I wished they would start something for this age range. So many of the other posters are young adults and college students, it just doesn't equate. I'm with you blankita, I feel out of place a good bit of the time so will post if something catches my eye but typically just skip it.

        As far as age, I'm 44 (gack!) and my partner/SO is 27. So we have an age-gap in our relationship as well. We met and I moved shortly after with my teenage daughter moving with me. We've had a whole other set of issues to deal with in regards to school, bills, jobs etc so I do understand.

        In regards to being amazed to find someone so incredible, I know exactly what you mean. I left a long-time relationship just prior to meeting my SO and honestly felt like I would -never- get involved like that again. However, I met him and he literally took my feet out from under me. The rest, as they say... is history.

        Really looking forward to some good posts and conversations here though So happy to have found this!

          i'm not legally over 30, but 28 and 3/4 is close enough, right? and my SO is 31.
          it also feels a bit redundant with the large amount of posts about college/parents/ petty issues and i feel like i don't fit in much, so i just come in to check on the people i've known for quite a while here
          Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
          And meeting again, after moments or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends.

              Me and my so are both 43. We went to hs together. lost contact. Both went thru nasty marriages. he is divorced 5 years (very ugly) and I am just coming out of a divorce. We both have 9 year old kids. he lives in Ohio, I am in NC.
              I feel the same way about the issues of the younger generation of this forum. One of those, I've been there, please listen to my experience (especially the posts about parents)
              everything happens for a reason. We may never find out what that reason is/was, but there is a reason.

                    No this is good! I'm happy there are more of us than I thought Not that I don't ever participate in the main forums, but it's just hard to dispense my thoughts and advice when I know a lot of teens and young adults will think I am too old and I don't remember what it's like to be at that age. I really do though but I just don't relate to those same issues.

                    Lucybelle - everyone is welcome to weigh in I just like getting an idea of who else is around when I need to connect with others in a more similar situation!

                    I may kick in a few more topics under this sub forum - maybe some repeats of old threads but since there are so many newer members, I think it might be helpful to make them fresh again!

                            I'm 28 inching closer to 30 and my partner is 30. Instead of worrying about parents I have to worry about our children's welfare, buying a house together and so forth.
