I have to agree with lessthan on this one. People either stick or bail, and all relationships come to that point of decision sooner or later. It could be that people learn lessons and are better able to make things work, but there is always the question of personality. People who blame people are going to blame people, not accept responsibility, so, I have to blame them for that. Ha.

If I gave you my heart forever, and you changed your mind, then you went and found someone else and he gave you his heart, you should really tell him it's a temporary situation so he is prepared for the day your love stops and he is alone in the driveway watching your tail lights go down the road for the last time. It's not about being trash, it's about being loyal. Some people just don't get anything out of having a relationship last, so they move on when the initial thrill is gone, or if you stop making them feel good. Other people like what happens being devoted to each other and building a life together. My guess is the divorced people are the ones who just move on. The other ones are still with whomever they chose way back when. It's just a theory.

You're such an ass for even posting a thread like this. I guess we don’t have to question why cowards like you don't have your profiles available to the masses. Odds are you would walk through life getting the shit slapped out of you by nameless faces that have read your BS. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you personally for opening yet another door that will put in question men in general and allow us to be stereotyped once again.

And to answer your question… The last thing I want in a relationship is someone who is confused or has unrealistic expectations of what a man should be. Trash? You don’t have a clue! I’ll save all the sacrificial virgins for you; this kid is going dumpster diving.

My ex husband put a gun to my head at point blank range, I divorced him because of abuse, I hardly think that qualifies me as trash!!

Woah!! Calm down people!!!


One man's treasure is another man's trash...
That is an expression that conveys how value is placed by the person, not intrinsic to the object itself. Nobody has called any divorced women trash. No divorced women have been harmed in the making of this thread. Chill!


Less coffee, more sex....relax....

The two questions don’t belong in the same thread. It’s a terrible analogy. The person that started this should have thought about what they were asking before posting it.

I'm not worried about it at all. You see the person that started this thread is either divorced.. or married and on a dating site. Don't want to assume, but if he is divorced he himself will go to hell ... if he is married, shame on him for having "dating" on his profile.

I think he is just single, never been married, so therefore he is totally clueless. You can't judge or give advice to anyone until you yourself have acctually lived in the others shoe. Kinda like a woman telling a mother how to raise her child, when she herself hasn't had one.

Basically that just makes his whole thread pointless and a waste of time.

The point that deserves discussion, once you get past the saying, is whether having decided to divorce once a person has shown they will give up when things get rough, or worse, they will tend to take things to a rough place. If I met a woman who had been divorced and she told me what a jerk the guy was and how they used to fight, I would wonder if she was a fighter and what his side was. Some people are just confrontational and combataive. If I met a woman who was a widow, the only thing I would have to worry about is whether she had a hand in her husband's death.

I expect that most people who have previously bailed from a marriage would use that same exit strategy if things got tough again. So it's a valid question if you're looking for someone to stick around. If you are dating someone who blames their ex, you're looking at yourself in the future, when they blame you.

Yes that would be worth discussion. Beats the negative, stereotypical "another mans trash" question.

^^^ Good points, Random4.

I recently went on a couple of dates with a woman who was divorced and our conversations kept coming back to how mean her ex husband was and how she deserved better...blah-blah-blah-blah!

Im usually polite on dates, but I had to eventually say to her: "Let's not talk about your marriage or ex husband anymore. I'm only interested in you, and do not want to learn anything more about him or your marriage."

That was our last date.

It takes two to tango people! There's a 45% chance that the divorced spouse your dating was the problem, 45% chance it was the other person, and a 10% chance that they both suck at marriage. I don't prejudge depending on whether they're divorced, but going forward I do look for any hints that the woman might not be good relationship material. Just being cautious.

Africanmale you said usually bitter, not always bitter. So,why avoid all divorced women? Are you telling me that if you encountered a divorced woman that in no way,shape,form or fashion even gave a hint of being bitter you would not even consider dating her? If so, that is so insane dude. Peace.

"is another mans trash another mans treasure?"

Don't quote me on this but he may have said this wrong. He may mean "trash" in the sense of how the man views the particular woman. One man may view her as trash but she may be a treasure to another man.

LOL trash ......

Yes that double posting has happened to me as well before

General thoughts about dating a person that had been married and is now divorced

A married person that was divorced might have extra baggage?

A married person might have more wisdom or knowledge about marriage?

A married person might have bigger trust issues ?

"is another mans trash another mans treasure?" One would assume he means because he threw her away that she's now trash.

Perhaps she threw him out!!
