Ladies - Would you date someone who is divorced?
Replies
-
Well no, my husband would hardly approve. But if I were single? Sure. Extra points if the person could be civil to the ex.0
-
Absolutely. I'd hate to not be conidered as a good dating partner due to a failed marriage.0
-
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.0
-
Yes, but never with kids under 18. And if he's been divorced more than twice0
-
Of course!0
-
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.0
-
WHy wouldn't you? If you get along with the person you date them...0
-
I would as long as they did not have children younger than mine.0
-
Depends on the person, why they divorced, how they relate to the ex and whether they have kids.0
-
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.0 -
I'm too young to say right now, but why not?0
-
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.0
-
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.)0 -
Absolutely. Being divorced is not like having leprosy. Also, being divorced myself I think you relate to one another much better.0
-
I married a twice divorced man.0
-
I think it would depend on the circumstances.0
-
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.0
-
Why not....everyone has skeletons in their closet, being divorced is no different.0
-
I see no problem with it, unless he's been divorced more than say 3 times....it just makes you wonder then. :frown:0
-
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 28-35.0
-
I married one with 2 kids.0
-
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.
Sometimes there are circumstances that warrant a divorce or make it inevitable.0 -
Wouldnt be the first time I did... and wont be the last if I do again...0

Been there. When I met my husband he had been divorced for six months from his first wife. We dated for 14 months before we got married. All these years later we have two great kids and next month we will celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. Honestly, I was more concerned about the fact that he had filed bankruptcy than the fact that he was divorced.0

-
I've been married twice. Both times the guy had been married before me. It's the time in which we live nowadays.0
-
I haven't, but I definitely would. It seems unfair to rule someone out based on this. My friend's brother was married at 18 years old and divorced by 20...I wouldn't hold that against him...my decisions around the 18 year mark weren't the greatest!0
-
I'm 21 and I would. Unless it was a very extreme circumstance.0
-
I was married when I met my current Husband, but he was never married, but I have to say it makes no difference, I would date someone I liked0
-
More importantly, would you date someone who answers a hard "no" to your question without taking even a moment to consider the reason for the divorce? My vote is no. I'd rather date someone whose husband left her for her fitness trainer than someone who can't critically think and evaluate the situation.0
