Whether the relationship lasted a month or four years, breakups are hard. For some people, going through this can be especially difficult if they are in their thirties.
There is this idea that you have to have it all figured out by the time you hit this age. However, that is not always how life works out. This is something that Kelsey Huse, a software engineer from Austin, Texas, had to learn the hard way. Kelsey and her boyfriend broke up at the age of 30, which left her feeling like she would never date again.
In hopes of finding some motivation to try finding love again, Kelsey decided to ask the Twitter community for some help.
“My bf broke up with me this week and I just wanna hear happy stories of people who found their partner in their 30s thanks,” she tweeted.
Her tweet got an overwhelming amount of comments, likes, and retweets that prove it is NEVER too late to find the one.
Here are some of the best stories of people that found love in their thirties!
1. That major leap of faith led her to the one!
I hit 30, realized career + life I had developed in Vegas (entertainment PR) was not going to support my long term goals. Took a major leap of faith, left everything I knew to return to Iowa. Met my husband 3 months later. Had first babe this year at 37! AND still love my job! pic.twitter.com/84HYy4wxYM

3. This couple seems to be living their best life, and it all started in their thirties!
Met my wife when we were in our 30s (and still are!). She’s so rad. Online dating 🤷â€â™‚ï¸. We’ve had many adventures all over the world and in our PNW backyard. Just past our 4 year marriage mark and living it up with kiddo + dog. pic.twitter.com/ept9FplPWk

4. Coffee is the key word here.
I met this guy on a dating app when I was 34. Our first date was supposed to be just coffee. Turned into dinner, then more coffee, then a movie.

6. Piece of advice from this Twitter user: TRAVEL and LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!
Went to a conference in San Fran. Side trip to Napa = meeting my soulmate. We dated cross country before he proposed to me. We got married when I was 38; together now for 10 yrs. My advice: travel (when we can again), live your best life & love will come again!! ðŸ‘ðŸ¾ðŸ’• pic.twitter.com/QbNzvytx9V

7. When you know, you know. He waited 38 years to meet the one and proposed 28 days after meeting her.
Met my beloved aged 38, on the worse period of my life. She was the only women in my life, who turned to look back and waved at me when she walked away. I proposed, after 28 days knowing her. â¤ï¸ comes when you least expect it. But the wait is worth it. pic.twitter.com/G4JZNy4r5m

8. Who would’ve thought a funeral would lead this couple to the altar?
I strongly believe getting married in your 20s should be illegal. Sort of kidding, but I met my husband at 32 at a funeral. We make each other laugh just by being ourselves. He is the kindest person I know.

9. This man did not give up on love, and after seeing these cute pictures, we are glad he didn’t!
First marriage broke down. I was 36 and thought this is the end of me

10. She said it! “Everything is purr-fect.”
Single most of my 20s, got into a relationship at 29 and had my heart completely shattered at 31. Met my current partner at almost 33, and now blissfully happy, engaged and have recently adopted 2 cats so everything is purr-fect 😬 pic.twitter.com/C1bQIQ9QMI

11. Sometimes it takes a few heartbreaks to find Mr. Right!
We met when I was 29, he was 30. Started dating when I was 30, he was 32. Got married last year on Friday, December the 13th (I was 36, he was 38). ðŸ¤ðŸ–¤ It was worth all the heartbreak in my 20s (and lordy was there ever heartbreak)! pic.twitter.com/xg3IhmbHT2

12. Don’t judge a book by its cover, or in this case, its “tagline.”
I used to judge ppl on their “tagline”before I met them (thanks tinder) Almost 5 yrs ago I decided to start meeting ppl regardless of whether I thought they were my “type”& said yes to a date I would have never gone on because he was from Long Island🤷ðŸ»â€â™€ï¸ This weekend he proposed pic.twitter.com/m3pIMUJ4Jb

13. The best things in life happen when you least expect them!
My wife and I eloped 3 weeks ago today. I’m 36 (37 day after tomorrow), she’s 29, and just met a little less than 4 years ago.

At 32 I was truly content with being single the rest of my life, and later that same year I met the love of my life! pic.twitter.com/9n9qXKwOYG
14. When it’s right, it’s right!
We met in our mid 30s. A year to the day we met, we got engaged. A year later married. A year later we had our amazing son. And bought a house together. We’ve known each other less than 5 years but we waited for the right partner. When it’s right, it’s organic. You’ve got this xx pic.twitter.com/ETO5zdoWzB
