Would you ever consider dating a divorced person?

Question

I mean there has to be a reason why they are divorced, and you got to think about getting involved, but you date a divorcee? I met this guy who is divorced, but dont know about this. He seems cool.

Answer 1

Just cause he's divorced doesn't mean that something horrible happened. Besides marriage changes people. Good luck.

Answer 2

I am dating a Girl who is separated, a divorcee would be an improvement!

Point is if he/she is otherwise who you want to be with its a non-issue.

Life happens good people learn and grow from experience and mistakes.

As in all new relationships proceed with caution and see where it takes you.

Good luck

Answer 3

I have never been there but I have dated after being divorced and I say as long as they are tryin to move on its ok sometimes it can be hard if they have baggage such as kids but if they care bout you then that isn't an issue. Just cuz they are divorced doesn't mean they are a failure it happens to the best of us unfortunately. But yea give it a shot! Good luck!

Answer 4

h**l yes!! whats wrong with that?? if he's for sure not involved with anyone else... " rock his boat " and pray to god he can rock yours back :)

Answer 5

Yes, and I did. We have been married for 31 years.

Answer 6

Yes, I have dated divorced men. Just because they weren't someone else's perfect match doesn't mean they're not ANYONE's perfect match. I guess it kind of depends on the reason they got divorced though. I wouldn't date an abuser or anything.  

Answer 7

sure, why not ? Unless, he's recently divorced then it's probably not a good idea unless he's been seperated from his ex-wife for a long time before the divorce was finalized.  

Answer 8

no problem if I like them.

Answer 9

Why not, It's not always their fault, and some people just realize it's not going to work, or that things aren't the same. I say go with it

Answer 10

I would.

At least a divorced person knows what mistakes to avoid.

Answer 11

didnt u ask this question a few weeks ago? i remember it b/c i thought it was a weird question, i mean there is nothing wrong with being divorced....

Answer 12

There are plenty of reasons people are divorced. They married the wrong person, they were cheated on, abused, left by their spouse for someone else, married too young. Being divorced doesn't make you a bad person-I am divorced because I married a nut. So yes, I'd date a divorced person.  

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

no i wouldnt, you are right, they must have issues. They couldnt hold it together. I would look for people that have never been married. Be careful. Their is plenty of guys for u outhere.

Answer 15

No!

Answer 16

he just got divorced. its not like hes a criminal. it just didnt work out. thats why hes dating again.  

Answer 17

the fact of whether he's divorced or not shouldn't affect the way you feel about him, Yes, of course there must be a reason,

but that doesn't mean that it was his fault.

Do a little research, talk to him about his past relationships,

and anyway, some people feel different about divorce,

but you should make your own mind up,

you shouldn't ask other people (especially over yahoo answers) what their opinions on the subject are,

you should have your own opinion,

Answer 18

yea you should propbably make sure all of his family/marriage issues are solved that way your not bringing yourself into his drama

Answer 19

yes, especially if she's a MILF

Answer 20

Of course, because I am divorced also.  I guess we all want to know first why they got divorced, but for me, it was simple.  He emotionally abused me and sometimes I thought it might of been better if I was physically abused because I would of been able to prove it.  No one knew about what was going on behind closed doors.  I stayed in the marriage because of my kids.  One day I realized that I didnt have to be tied to him any longer.  I hurt my kids and still to this day feel the aftershock of it all, but I am so happy to know that I am single and he cant control me in that aspect of my life.  Not all people who get divorced are bad or did something bad.  If I were you I would just get to know him a little bit better and become friends with him before getting too involved.  Dont ever just assume that he is bad, until you see for yourself.

Answer 21

it depends. how long has the person been divorced? do they have kids? is it a possibilty they still have slight feelings and regrets? u have to ask urself these questions

Answer 22

Yes, but I do like to get the details of why in the beginning and then I might ask again down the road just to make sure the story is the same in case he lied to first time

Answer 23

I know what you mean. I look at my divorced mom and I think "i hope no one ever dates her merely because she got divorced from my dad. She deserves that". You're a bad person. People who divorce each other do it because the two didn't match not because they don't work with people. However, if there are kids involved and you deny the children ANY time with their mother ever, you're an even worse person than you could ever be if you decided not to date him because of the divorce thing.
