As a mid 30s newly divorced person with 13 years of marriage behind her, I concur!Agree!
Look how the whole Amy Dowden thing went with those two thoughI'm convinced 90% of people who settle down "early" have made a decision that they will regret later in life. Some people get lucky and really do meet their partner early. But gawd, I'm 30 and the amount I've changed as a person over the last decade is wild. My whole value system, who I find attractive, where I want to live, what I want to do with my life ...
Had I settled down early I'd 100% be miserable by now. Carrie is a year younger than I am. I understand the pressure and biological clock but it's no use chasing something that can't (or at least shouldn't) be forced. If you have kids with someone you're tieing yourself to them for life, even if you break up. That's a monumental commitment to consider.

This is a bit of a sad way to look at life , I don’t think it’s true for 90% of people . It’s true for some couples , sure . But you can say that at any age ! Being a certain age isn’t a guarantee a relationship will work out , just as it isn’t a guarantee it won’t ! Sometimes you find your person when you’re 18 , and it’s really looked down upon but I think it’s beautiful .Agree!
Look how the whole Amy Dowden thing went with those two though
I’ve been with my husband since I was 19 , we are now in our thirties . It’s not always the case and sometimes you grow together , you don’t grow apart . I hate it when people say you can’t be happy marrying your first love or that you’ll regret settling down too early . Everyone is different , every relationship is different .
However , do I think there’s an expiry date for finding your true love and you should be shacked up by the time you’re 30 ? No , I don’t ! Some people do change a lot in their twenties and it would be a disaster if they married their first boyfriend or girlfriend & that would be true for Carrie . In Carrie’s case , the best is yet to come and she is clearly very hung up about turning 30 and thinks she should be married with a kid by now . And also Carrie , I hate to tell you … the best is not Joel
Just saw this…I wonder who should take note 
I can still search for him though. He comes up if I just type “joe”
His profile is showing up normally for me (unfortunately). He’s reposting an ad for a new assistant company manager. Whoever gets that job has their work cut out managing the man-child.I can still search for him though. He comes up if I just type “joe”
I don't agree that it's a sad way to look at life. Why would it be sad to find your person later? Or why is it sad to have a relationship that doesn't work out? It's sad at the time but not a "sad life" thing to happen. It doesn't mean that the relationship wasn't valuable or that your life is worse now that you're single.This is a bit of a sad way to look at life , I don’t think it’s true for 90% of people .

I fully agree that meeting someone young and staying together is beautiful. It's just not realistic for 90% of couples, in my opinion and from what I've seen. I only know of one couple that has stayed together since they were teens. It does happen! But it's that handful out of 100 situation.
I think they meant that it's sad to assume that many who meet young will break up. They specifically said they didn't think it matters if you meet someone later in life
Oh sorry. I still don't think it's sad. I think it's realistic. I'd never hope or root for it or anything, but I have eyes and, as I said, I only know one young couple in my community and extended friend group that have stayed together. Show me someone's Facebook feed that isn't full of 30 year old single mums or mums that are now with a new partner. It is what it is. Anyway, I'm off topic
Hope Debbie and Bob see right through that creep
My mother would cry too if I was dating Joel.
My birthday’s 02/02 too!! I know I was born in the early hours of the am but I’m not sure it was definitely 2am but hello, birthday twin
Did her mum cry before the show started? Did she cry with gratitude at her future son in law generously taking them to a show? 
Anyway, he’s still salty over not being allowed to come along to the Disney trip, isn’t he?

Probably cried because she saw Carrie and Joel making out and was heavingDid her mum cry before the show started? Did she cry with gratitude at her future son in law generously taking them to a show?

Think he’ll still come up to those that follow him, but not those that don’t!I can still search for him though. He comes up if I just type “joe”
Doesn’t come up for me and I’m following him. Comes up when I search through my “following” list but not in the general search bar
Hope his Instagram gets taken down so we aren't subjected to any more unwarranted kissing videos
I don't want kids so maybe that's why I can't relate but if Carrie is really just settling for Joel so she can have marriage and babies I find it so sad and bizarre, where's the joy in marrying and having a baby with a man you don't love?
Thank you for your feedback.
