Would you marry a previously divorced man or woman?

Just wanted to know if anyone has gone through this or knows anyone that has. I know experiences vary person to person but just to get an idea.

Re: Would you marry a previously divorced man or woman?

i do not consider divorce as a stigma on either the man or the woman. i would marry without hesitation if everything else checks out’ a prior divorce is not necessarily a deal breaker. i would certainly ask for the reason the divorce happened.

Re: Would you marry a previously divorced man or woman?

Best decision of my life.

Re: Would you marry a previously divorced man or woman?

Prior divorce would not be a deal breaker for me but I would inquire the reason behind the divorce. However, I would not consider someone who had a child if the mother of the child is still alive.

Re: Would you marry a previously divorced man or woman?

Yes, i will consider a divorced man and will go ahead if i find myself satisfied with the reason behind the divorce.

Re: Would you marry a previously divorced man or woman?

I married divorcee with a baby girl. She was our family friend. I knew her personally. I would say, best decision of my life. We had many ups and downs but we stuck together. Promised each other to never let each other fall even if one of us wanted to. She was going through major depression at sometime after we we were together. She sought counselling and eventually recovered. Now we cant live without each other.
Our first year was tough because we were adjusting with each other. Now we laugh. :smiley:

I’m glad that it is becoming more and more common for people to accept divorced females. Most males I know, still wouldn’t marry a divorced female, especially one with children. Most divorced males even still want another virgin. Many people in our society still put a ‘value’ on females and rate them not just by looks and how they run a home, but also on being a virgin or not. Most Pakistani males I know here, even family friends I’ve known since I was a child, have a nasty attitude towards females and especially divorced females. So it’s nice to see some positive changes. Perhaps by the time the next generation has grown up, they will live in a better society.

I’m a divorced female myself, my children are almost grown up. My marriage was a horrible experience and the difficulty in getting my divorce, made me decide to never marry again. Only once did I start doubting that decision, but then I realised that not marrying again is the proper choice for me. I said no to every kind of marriage proposal and will keep doing that until I die.

However, if I would have been different and still interested in marriage, I wouldn’t have minded marrying a divorced man, but first I’d have to find out if he wasn’t abusive to his first wife. Even if it would have been my first marriage, I still wouldn’t mind a divorced partner, depending on why his first marriage ended.

I will not marry a divorce man, cause I don’t swing that way most of the time

but I happily married and now I have two beautiful son’s, they annoy the shyt out of me but I love every bit of it, there are ups and down’s, custody issues, lots of little things that come with it, but wouldn’t change a thing,

Humans are not cars and it is not like you need to have brand new with a shiny car smell. I married someone who had two prior abusive marriages and I am so happy that I have to pinch myself to see if I am dreaming. You have to go thru bad to appreciate good. My best brother in law had been divorced from an American girl and he is by far the best husband and father I have come across among desis. His children have had amazing success.

Re: Would you marry a previously divorced man or woman?

My brov divorced, then married a divorced. He is happy as cucumber.

Re: Would you marry a previously divorced man or woman?

Well I was divorced and married my current wife 19 years. I have three son…18/11/10 and loving it. So come out of that stigma and ask the right questions. Find out why did the first divorce occurred?

My younger brother unfortunately is divorced too, but he has been looking after our mother since last 4 years and this has halted his job, everything. He is coming back with my mother this month. So I would love him to get married to someone who is compatible with him.

His first divorce was not due to abuse, or anything. We got him married thinking he won’t have any problem, but unfortunately his shyness and not speaking up for himself caused his life a headache. He never wanted to marry at first place. There was nothing wrong with his ex-wife and she is happily married again. But they were not suited to each other. So whole point of my conversation is situations can be different.

Re: Would you marry a previously divorced man or woman?

If anyone have a sister who is looking to get married, lets get you together with my brother! He is 38 years old.

Re: Would you marry a previously divorced man or woman?

I married a divorced man. I had no issue with it. I asked all the right questions. I did not see the warning signs when he completely blamed his ex wife for the end of the marriage. I was very naive.

Fast forward, I learnt the hard way why his ex left him, why she really didn’t like his family. She’s lucky she got a way yet I’m stuck with him cos of our child.

I also learnt the hard way why I was so attractive to my husband. Young virgin who would move miles away from family so no family interference. He told me his ex wife’s family were so interefering. I realise now it was his family who liked full control and didn’t like the wife’s family hanging around, giving her the strength to leave him.

I am quite angry, I didn’t care about his past but I realise he learnt nothing from his past relationship. I actually thought he would be wiser than me cos of his past experience but it turns out not. It was all her fault and him and his perfect family were victims. Ha. If we ever divorce he will say the same about me.

I now hate how he never wanted to marry a divorced woman and wanted me instead so he could ruin my best years. The double standards of many of our men.

I was young and naive. I know better now.

That’s not to say all divorced men are like this. If I ever have the chance I would like to fall in love naturally where I know the man before I marry him. But one can dream. My life is too complicated for that now.
