divorced women

You said it well.

I know of a few divorced women actually. And QUITE a few are married Mashallah. One of them married a man that was never-married. One married another divorcee and now have a daughter. One married another divorcee and now have 2 daughters. Plenty more…

When I think about remarriage…I think of all the things I didnt think about the first time. Like getting to know him really well versus trusting the aunti who says “larka bohot acha hai, bas aap ankh band karke kardein”. I dont think about money as I realized early in life that paisa aani jaani cheez hai and Alhumdulillah Allah swt has given me the capability to make my own. So, his financial status never meant much to me even before I got married. What does matter to me much more now is his mentality, how he thinks, his goals, his treatment of others, his manners, his morals, etc. I need to like his head so I can like his face. Make sense?

Am I much more compromising? Ummm…I dont think so. I think Ive actually learned exactly what my priorities should be and just reorganized them. Ive learned to control my ego. Ive also learned that marriage is not about finding the perfect person…rather the person whose imperfections are perfect for you.

Have I lowered my standards because Im divorced? No. In fact, finding an educated man is simpler than finding a morally upstanding one.

When the topic comes up (it does quite a bit now) I do think Im leaning more towards someone who has been through a similar ordeal as myself. Meaning, Im not sure if it would work with someone who isnt divorced. Would they be able to understand? :hmmm:
