d_squared431 0 #26 June 10, 2006 I never thought about it before. I don't think it would bother me if a guy was married before.I know I wouldn't marry someone who has been married 3-4 times thou-.TPM Sister#130ONTIG#1 I love vodka.I love vodka cause it rhymes with Tuaca~LisaH You having a clean thought is like billyvance having a clean post.iluvtofly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #27 June 10, 2006 As a veteran divorcee, I can attest to the fact that previous marriage status doesn't matter...but of course that's a biased opinion. I would be happy just to have a women talk to me. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

PRSKY71 0 #28 June 10, 2006 When I was younger it mattered a lot; however, funny enough two of my most serious relationships (current one included) have been with divorced men. I think that one can get a sense of the possible future of a relationship based on how the prior one went. Was it very acrimonious? ETC. It has not made an impact or real difference in my current one, but the prior one proved to be a scary one!

dancingdolphin 0 #30 June 10, 2006 On the contrary, at my age I expect a guy to have been married or at least lived with somebody. I wonder if a guy has hit 40 and not been married if he has commitment problems.........or would ever want a 'serious relationship' If you're holding anyone else accountable for your happiness, you're wasting your time."

sartre 0 #31 June 10, 2006 My husband had just turned 40 when I met him, and had never been married nor cohabitated. He's very family-oriented and of the problems we may have, commitment isn't one of them. Some people just don't want to commit until they're sure.....whatever their age. ....Still no guarantees, but it doesn't make them incapable of having a committed relationship.

dancingdolphin 0 #32 June 10, 2006 Everybody's different and got their own story. You're right some guys (+ girls)aren't ready to commit til later or just don't find the right partner 'til later. i married a guy with 'commitment phobia' in my 20's..which was a total disaster.so may be a bit paranpoid........

tmaricle55 0 #35 June 11, 2006 Being close to your age, I agree totally. I try to take everything on a case by case basis and hope for the best. Each relationship is different and we learn something about ourselves with each experience. Although I have never been married the guy I am with is divorced.

skyminxx 0 #36 June 11, 2006 I actually think it helps if both parties are in the same boat (so to speak) it really helps you understand what you DONT want to repeat and makes you appreciate the value of what you have...

happythoughts 0 #39 June 11, 2006 The "never been married" idea mostly occurs in two cases for 34yo women. 1- They are possessed by Satan and have eaten all their previous suitors. 2- They are wonderful, caring, and intelligent people, but have spent the first 33 years in a cave in Borneo with a goat. Basically, if someone is 35 and has the personality characteristics that you desire, someone probably found them first. When asked about the passing of their wife, someone once said, "The only jealousy that that I have is that the first husband was married to her longer."
