    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.

    Really? Then you're missing out on a lot of great guys who just happened to be in a not so good relationship. There is no more "till death do us part". It really doesn't mean anything. People get married when they're young, stupid and think they're in love and it's what they did. Things happen and marriages end. It doesn't make him or her a bad person because they didn't stay married to their mate it just means that things didn't work out.

    What you're saying is that basically two people should stay in a marriage that just isn't working because they uttered the words "Till death do us part." You would prefer to be miserable in a relationship that, for whatever reason, has basically ended because of five words?

    Of course!!! Recycle & Reuse should apply to women & men too! It's good for the environment!

    (Laff) I'm not picky about history / baggage, we alllllllll have it and seriously we should all be proud of the trials & obstacles we've overcome. I don't have the right to be picky anyway.
    I'm divorced!

    Once you get to a certain age, you don't have much choice really. If someone is single in their 30's odds are, they have been married at least once and odds increase as age does. I guess it depends on the age range you ask as to the opinion on it but, never say never...we all get older eventually.

    Doesn't always mean that they were the one that didn't try. Maybe it was the other person's unwillingness to try, or they(the other) had an affair. This is a very close minded view. IMHO

    Yes, if no kids are involved...I have dated a divorced single dad of 8 year old twin boys in the past and even though their father was a complete and udder idiot I had a really hard time leaving the relationship because of those sweet boys...

    There's no difference if a man is divorced or if he is single. The point being, is he available? Yes I would date a divorced man if he has let go of the past and is ready to move on. So in other words, he must also be emotionally available as well.

    I am happily married, and thank goodness my husband was willing to date someone with 2 divorces. When I was dating, I did not judge someone because of a failed marriage. Sometimes relationships don't work out, or are not meant to be.

    Yes, I would as I myself have been divorced. I am now married again and if I were to find myself single, I would certainly date a divorced man, kids or no kids.

    I've been divorced and I hate dated someone divorced. Didn't change a thing. If you like someone, you like them. Kids are a different story. If you can't handle baby mama drama or if you don't like kids....DON'T DO IT.

    Sometimes there are circumstances that warrant a divorce or make it inevitable.

    I was thinking the same thing. My cousin (female) is divorced because her husband cheated on HER and left HER for his mistress. She tried to go to see a counselor but he didnt want to.

    I am happily married to someone who was divorced, and I've been divorced myself. I'd be nervous about dating someone who has been divorced multiple times, however, if I were in the market for a serious relationship. I'd worry about his underlying issues when I've got enough issues of my own! :smile:
