I am 29, and since I realized that I will be 30 next year I have been sad, is this normal, just a phase?

Question

I realized that I don't have a husband, a home, etc. Life accomplishments that I thought I would have by the time I was 30.

Answer 1

Its normal to feel that way. Trust me I just turned 40 and and i feel the same way. But what you have to remember is that just because your going to be 30 does not mean your life is not good. Not everyone follows the same time line in life some are married young some don't find that until they get older.You still have time to find him and have kids buy a house and live out your life. You have a better chance to find true happiness since you will be older when you find him. You will be done partying and running around. B/C when you fin find him you will have a new party to go to and be ready to settle down.

Answer 2

I am a male and 47 now. I was just like you, when I was 29,just fixing to turn 30 I felt it was the end of the world to turn the BIG 30, But when I hit it it was just a number and there never has been such a feeling before or after the #30th B Day that has bothered me. So please trust me it is only a phase! It is so good to know that I wasnt the only one that went through that emotion.Everything will be cool, I promise, and Have A Great B Day!

Answer 3

20,30,40,50 etc are all milestones where we re-evaluate our lives. Everyone does. But the down side is that we always dream that we will be better of in love,life and money :-)

You will find that 30 comes and goes and that life goes on. In today's day and age not being married and settled down by thirty is more common than it was 20-30 years ago.

My wife was 30 when we got married . We now have 2 kids and live in another coutry now... She didn't expect or plan that we met by coincidence one evening and hit it off.. and it went from there.

So life will continue to throw you curve balls. The best thing to do is get out there and enjoy what you have rather than what you don't. It will all come together eventually and when you least expect it :-)

Answer 4

I'd like to think that everyone goes through this.When I turned 30 I cried off and on for 6 months,because I couldn't see myself getting older.Now I'm 3 years from 40 and I wonder how I will feel then. I joke and tell my husband I'll probably make my funeral arrangements then.It will get better. 30 is NOT any different than 20's but in your mind it is.

Answer 5

it is just a phase, you will get over it once you turn 30.
List your desired life accomplishments and make resolutions to be in charge of your own life and get on with it.

Answer 6

Just a phase 30's aren't that bad

Answer 7

I am in the same boat I here ya I will be 30 this year Don't worry the feeling will pass.

Answer 8

well, what are you looking for in a man/in life/in general? What specificially do you think you should have accomplished by now?
Don't just give yourself a ration of crap because you're feeling lonely, that's human, that's normal. Get out and meet new people...it's not easy, but it's worth it...

Answer 9

Phase for as long as you feel that way. I've been married and divorced twice and I feel like it's too late to bother anymore. Relationships are work and many are like junk cars. I've had my share of those too. After a fare share of heart ache you are your bestest friend if you're good to yourself.

Answer 10

this can be a standard one. If the international receives too warm, we've shown that we are able to live on it because the "Cradles of Civilization" were in warm, dry parts. If the international receives chilly, then we've already shown that we are able to arise to ice a lengthy time period, and that is with none "severe" technologies. If the international receives overpopulated, it is going to, out of necessity, stability itself out. i do not imagine we favor to be aggravating about surviving the subsequent 100 years. the genuine question is the thanks to we save the subsequent 100 years from turning out to be the subsequent darkish Age.
