Woman opens up about her marriage regrets at 40

“When I was little, I thought to myself that I would like to get married at the age of 20-21 years… maybe before 27, 28 years, I would have finished giving birth. But life happens. Look at me here, approaching 40 years, not even in a relationship,” she said, addressing her past mistakes and how they have shaped her current circumstances.

She went on to acknowledge the role of her earlier decisions, noting that some choices she made as a teenager continue to impact her present life.

“I believe that some of the mistakes that I made then are seriously affecting me now. The mistake I made is seriously affecting me that I’ve not seen anybody that will marry,” she added.
