to be fair he’s only turned 27, so he was only 26 when the pandemic hit, 25 when they started dating isn’t old at all, it wasn’t his first relationship either.Question about Paddy's friends because I'm interested in Irish culture (I'm from the US.) He's 27 years old - is that still a normal "party/single" age for men in Ireland? Here if you are a 27-year old man, you probably have more than one friend in your group that is married and has at least one child (if not more.) It's interesting that all his mates are still single. Do men generally get married/settle down later in Ireland? I'm in a relationship, but if I was still single and met a 27 year old guy who was still in the party stage, that would be a huge red flag for me.
I think a “settling down age“ here, marriage and kids etc, would be around 29/30.
not many I know have kids before that age nowadays, most of my friends wou have been around 30/32 starting a family,
maybe 10 years ago to do that all at 27 would be more the norm, but not now, when you’ve spent so much time in uni/building a career.
theres a difference between being in a committed relationship to having a 31 year old girlfriend you've dated for less than a year (11 or 12 months dating I think when she got pregnant?) get pregnant.
