Ladies - Would you date someone who is divorced?
Replies

It really doesn't matter if all women would or even most women would. All that matters is the RIGHT woman for you definitely would.
If a woman wouldn't date me just because I'm divorced after all those years and have a couple of lovely daughters, she just saved us both valuable time and I thank her for it.

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.
What if the person was divorced because, say, their spouse beat them? Or their spouse stole all their money and ran away? Or their spouse cheated on them and left them? Just because someone is divorced doesn't necessarily mean that marriage vows mean nothing to them.
I see no problem dating someone who was divorced. Not marrying someone who had a marriage fail isn't any different than not dating someone because they had a past relationship that failed. Marriage is more serious, but it's the same concept. You date people who have broken up with SO's in the past, why not marry someone who has been divorced? Their being divorced doesn't automatically make them a bad person who isn't worthy of being in a relationship or being loved.0 -
I married someone who was divorced. It was a toxic relationship that he had to get out of. I wouldn't change him for the world. We make each other better people.0

Well no, my husband would hardly approve. But if I were single? Sure. Extra points if the person could be civil to the ex.
:laugh:
I agree with this0 -
I would and have. He turned out to be more high maintenance than my 2 year old so that was the deal breaker!0

I would. I am unfortunately working on my second divorce now due to some bad decisions on my part and thinking people could change. But I have been dating the guy I am with for 6 months and I have never been happier. I think things happen for a reason...and as long as we learn from the divorce than it's okay...0

Of course I'd date a divorcee.. I am one myself. Remarried now.. but I would have been upset if I couldn't date again after my divorce as I was only 24.0

As you get older I am not so sure I would date someone who hasnt had a commited relationship.. So divocred is no big deal at all.. Unless there was some off the wall reason a guy was divorced..0

I've tried and it hasn't worked out. Especially if there are children in the picture.0
-
yes. everyone deserves a shot at true love x0
-
It depends on the situation.
Are their children involved? How recent was the divorce? What were the circumstances.
Under most circumstances I would, but I don't want to be a part of a relationship where there's going to be constant drama with the ex. I want to date the man, not the man and his ex wife.0 -

Agreed!0 -
Of course, why not?? If you're compatible with each other........0

Yes, but never with kids under 18. And if he's been divorced more than twice
This. My husband was divorced and had an 18month old. It was very difficult.0 -
Well, I am 23 years old and just got married in October to my amazing husband who had been divorced when we starting dating. We also dated for four 1/2 years before we got married.
I am an 'old soul' so that may have something to do with it but it seems VERY judgmental and narrow minded to rule someone out simply because they have been divorced.0 -
I met and started dating my husband when I was 21 years old, he was 26 and he had been divorced for a few years with no kids. He didn't have any emotional baggage - just a normal guy!
Having ~no~ emotional baggage isnt normal!!0 -
Well no, my husband would hardly approve. But if I were single? Sure. Extra points if the person could be civil to the ex.
^^^^^This...I dont see a problem with someone being divorced0 -
Yes - this is my first (and only) marriage and my husband's second. My husband and I did talk about his first marriage a few times and he admitted things that he done wrong and mistakes that he made - I thought that was huge especially since some of the mistakes he made placed him in a bad light. For me I think it would throw up red flags if someone said they were 100% innocent (although every circumstance is different). Also, there is a child involved so its not like we don't ever see his ex, etc. however, her and I get along better than the two of them do.0
-
As a divorced lady, yes, I would. Kids are the tricky part. I don't have any and am glad my bf doesn't either.0

After a certain age, it's almost impossible NOT to marry someone that's not been divorced before. Man or woman.
The divorce rate is 50%.0
