Do your diligence.

Those are just surface level identity labels.

Is that what third wives tell themselves?

If you are thinking long term, RUN! He can sell a vision, but won’t deliver the dream. Even if he was perfect and they destroyed him, he keeps picking the wrong person and waivers in his commitment.

Date is fine, nothing more. His focus is on his kid. He won’t be able to afford anything until kid is much older.

Better a twice divorced man than a twice widowed one.

This^. Such a catch and still two women couldn't stay with him. Marrying him because he is acting smooth to get a third one or because he pats for everything is a risky decision. It wouldn't be difficult for him to divorce again. Solving his equation is now even more difficult with a kid being involved. More than 75% marriages end up in divorce.

If you too are divorced with kids and not any better marriage options, may be he is worth the gamble but not if you are single without kids.

No they’re too stupid to know what diligence even is.

Disagree. Why would you risk your and your kids’ peace on a twice-divorced man? It's one thing to ignore red flags when you're single, but ignoring red flags is gross negligence if you're a parent.

What's wrong with a widowed man?

Two divorces is a major pause. My spouse's family has multiple people married 3-5 times and I should have realized that meant there are some issues and dysfunction in the family including addiction and personality disorders.

The implication above about a twice-widowed man is spousal murder.

You have to find out "who left who" in divorce situations.

It's almost always the fault of the person who ran off and filed for divorce. Almost always.

70% of divorces are filed by women, and approximately 1 in 4 divorces cite abuse.

This is also a big red flag. Many women tend to have commitment issues and trouble with having relationships these days. It's appalling.

The split should be closer to 50/50 instead of so skewed towards women.

25% are saying it is because they were being abused; that's the appalling part.

Ok that made me chuckle.
