Curious to your opinion on this one. It seems to be the elephant in the room when it comes to dating.

    Well no, my husband would hardly approve. But if I were single? Sure. Extra points if the person could be civil to the ex.

    Absolutely. I'd hate to not be conidered as a good dating partner due to a failed marriage.

    Yes, why not? I am divorced once and getting ready to be divorced a second time. It doesn't mean I am not into long term relationships, my second marriage has lasted 20 years.

    Yes, but never with kids under 18. And if he's been divorced more than twice :wink:

    I would things happen marriages do break down my parents one did I don't see the taboo with it. My dad is now happily remarried and my mum is in a long term relationship with a guy who had been divorced.

    I would as long as they did not have children younger than mine.

    Depends on the person, why they divorced, how they relate to the ex and whether they have kids.

    No.

    Because I date to get married, and I am not promising "till death" to someone who has already illustrated that marraige doesn't mean that.

    I'm too young to say right now, but why not?

    Just curious. I find the 28 and younger crowd generally won't. I dated a girl once who wouldn't give me a chance at first for this very reason, until she got to know me.

    I don't see an issue with this.
    ... Not dating someone who is divorced is the same as not dating someone because they've had previous relationships.

    At least someone divorced shows signs of being someone who would consider a future beyond just casual dating/hooking up... it can be a positive.

    And I also don't have an issue if the person has kids... people DO reproduce after all...

    I just wouldn't date a divorced person (or anyone) who wanted MORE children. (I refuse to be pregnant. But I like kids and wouldn't mind being a step mom if the right person came along.)

    Absolutely. Being divorced is not like having leprosy. Also, being divorced myself I think you relate to one another much better.

    I think it would depend on the circumstances.

    As long as it had been a while since the divorce, and I was not rebound girl... maybe. But my husband would have to be dead first.

    I see no problem with it, unless he's been divorced more than say 3 times....it just makes you wonder then. :frown:

    Well seeing as I'm 25 and I've been divorced twice, then yes, I definitely would. I would actually prefer to find someone divorced and childless in the age range of 28-35.
