I didn’t get married till I was 39.
All my friends were getting married and I was single. All my friends were having kids and I was single. All my friends were getting divorced and I was single. All my friends were getting remarried...well, you get the point.
I’ve been married now for 18 years with three great kids.
You read all the statistics about how half of all marriages last for ever, well, forever is a long time and I’m glad I waited to lock in.
‘Considering all of that, suppose he is always comparing YOU to all of these other women, and you don’t stack up??? How does that aspect of things make you feel?’
Someone has some major insecurity.
I’m pretty sure all the women on steptalk.org would wholeheartedly DISAGREE. Especially if said divorced guy has kids from a previous shrew.
A divorced man should know how to sidestep the sluts and find a good woman!
I tell my daughters if they are dating a divorced man to ask for two things:
1. To see the paperwork. There are a lot of divorced guys who are not yet divorced.
2. A full, honest explanation of what they did to facilitate the divorce. Even if it was the other’s fault, there was something wrong. If they cannot explain that with detail and honesty—then he is a train wreck waiting to happen again.
The first marriage only lasted 11 years, but the family will last long after I am gone.

Well, I went through a emotionally compromising divorce.
I met a woman in a motel lounge one day, about a year later and in a couple weeks we will celebrate our 34th anniversary.
I don’t think there is any rule or gauge you can use to find a good mate. But whatever it was that we did, seemed to work pretty well. She was also divorced and with two kids. I raised them, and one of my own and in a few months I will be a Great Grandfather.
Good luck to you...hope some of mine rubs off..but if marriage is really not something you really want to have, then don’t try. It won’t end well.
After watching the actions of the younger generation of females I think young men are smart not to have any attachments to them.
It is truly pathetic what the left had done over the past 35 years to brainwash females in regards to their way of thinking and their outlook on men.
Unless we find a way to start reversing this problem there will be no hope for this Country as a free nation as without the true definition of family there cannot be a Republic.
Unconditional love is an awesome thing —never expecting or requiring anything.
Of course, the ones I referred to, men and women who try and try — they’re married to self-centered takers who never reciprocate, don’t show appreciation or affection, etc. Marriages wither away and die under those conditions.
But you’re surrounded by a lot of liberals, aren’t you? Where in the Bay Area could you find a conservative woman?
Well said.
i’m only doing it once.
society has turned men only into wallets, they have zero rights, family court is geared to destroy them and also keep/increase tension between them.
women make things far worse because they can’t stop themselves from smartass talking.
guys can too, but as women on average speak at least three times as much as a guy, it’s a much bigger problem for them.
in the beginning there was but one law adam and eve had to obey.
just one.
they couldn’t do it.
don’t forget if your sons are well-off, PRE-NUP.
if he didn’t eat it with her, he’d have lived and she would have died alone.
“I’m never getting divorced again.....Every 5 years, I’m just going to find a woman I hate, and buy her a house.”
You just dug up George Carlin.....GRAVE ROBBER!!!! ;-)
yup women are never mostly at fault for anything. it somehow always is the guy’s fault.
you sound just like a chick.
good ol zoltar from battle of the planets...
