He has been broken down! Divorced men understand what it's like to be in a committed relationship within which there are compromises and accommodations. His resistance has already been broken down by another woman so that you don't have to endure the push back yourself.
He uses his words. Divorced men tend to be better communicators. There is a decent chance that he went to therapy during his marriage, if not after, and he has become fairly proficient at communicating needs and feelings more clearly.
He's been broken in! Another thing about divorced men that you might not want to think about but will happily benefit from? They just "get" you. That's because they've been with more women, or at least one woman for an extended period of time, and dealt with more attitudes, moods, issues, and emotions. With experience often comes understanding. In other words, he has already been broken in.

Are you a man or a woman? Did you have a nasty divorce experience? Are you open to relationships, just not a marriage relationship? Just curious about your situation.
And, they are the most likely to move on to #3 if they get any grief from #2, rinse, repeat.
“kinda like buying a used car, huh?”
LOL
When my son was about 8 years old, he told my friend and me that he wasn’t ever going to get married because he didn’t think he could afford the child support.
Years later, after attending my son’s wedding, that same friend said she was remembering that during the ceremony.
LOL
The current generation of young men has grown up in a time in which they see how men can be taken to the cleaners in a divorce. They also have grown up in a time in which even casual dating relationships tend to end up with the people having sex together. They have also grown up in a time in which social norms of marriage and family life and children have been shattered.
Considering all of this, many young men just don’t see marriage and family as life goals worth pursuing.
Anecdotal evidence seems to be, that the feelings towards traditional marriage and family as goals worth pursuing, are strongest in evangelical and other strong faith communities.
Otherwise, many look at marriage and family and children as a lifestyle choice which they don’t want to make.
That would have been “And on that day, Lister, Satan will be skating to work.”
Unless they can’t afford any more alimony and child support payments. I did know of one couple that the guy married the woman because all his income went out for child support but that was offset by the child support payments she received.
“broken in”
I think that means BROKE.
Side bar story: I was dating a lady who had been divorced. She had never received child support. I pointed out she should consider getting a lien on her prior spouses home as he was considering selling it. She contacted her attorney, Bella, and the attorney charged her a substantial sum to file a lien. I asked why she did not get a real attorney like someone named Bob, or Mike or John. She got annoyed and said Bella was great just like all the other women professionals she employed. I looked at the lien and pointed out the lien was filed in the wrong county! She contacted Bella, whom I aptly called Bella the big mouth, and she filed the lien in the correct county. She now has a new attorney, named Mark.
Good one.
If so, then liberal women are on the front lines against all womankind.
I'm male. I rather doubt my ex would call me a man.
Did you have a nasty divorce experience?
Not near as bad as some of my colleagues, but quite bad enough for my tastes, thankyouverymuch.
Are you open to relationships, just not a marriage relationship?
Just curious about your situation.
Now you know...
Hmm. The used cars I’ve had the best experience with are Toyotas. So does that mean I ought to have married a divorced Japanese woman?
“Broken”, fer sure:
1. Financially broken.
2. House broken - ala FemiNazi perspectives.
Yuppers, broken to saddle and bridle, and ready to be ridden hard and put up broke again.
God rot lawyers and Liberals alike.
My parents were happy for 20 years.
Then they met and got married.
If you DO stop to smell the roses,
be careful you don't get a prick.
Yes.
(screwed up the HTML, I guess)
Great joke! And I believe it. As a woman I am saddened by how women treat their husbands these days, not respecting their need for alone time or guy time - their OWN time. And making them shop with them, etc. And complaining about them to their girlfriends. I think it’s sad. I have three sons and I do not like today’s man bashing. No sex should be bashed; it’s not ok.
Really sad numbers and especially the remarriage divorces. I’d like to see the breakdown of those numbers. How many, for example, remarried rather quickly after the initial divorce(rebound marriages)? How many re-married after three or four years? After six or seven? I’d guess the divorce rates for those who waited longer after the initial divorce would be lower. I might be very wrong too.
Can you give me a link to the rates you quote? Thanks.
Really? Well maybe he`s sick and tired of dealing with some illogical bullS#!ting woman and since he`s been thru it and found it ain`t so bad afterall, he`d be that much more willing to say “Screw you, b!tch!”
