In her fifties, three grown kids from marriage one, on good terms with both her exes, first marriage lasted eight years, second marriage lasted ten years? She seems great and smart and sane, has great kids, has had a demanding and successful career, etc.
Would you see two divorces as a big red flag? Or not necessarily? |
I would but then my XH just got married for the third time so everybody isn't me. |
Um, that should be I wouldN'T |
I would. Now, if she had been divorced THREE times, or more, that would definitely be a red flag. Or if she were 35 and twice divorced. But if you and her are both over 50 it does not seem that worrying. |
Date - yes.
Marriage - not sure, guess I would decide while dating her. |
If I was attracted to her I would ask her out. Assuming I knew her history beforehand, it wouldn't affect my decision one bit. |
If she was good in bed I would date her but I would never marry her. |
Wouldn't marry. Pretty obvious she's not good at that. |
Date yes - marry... no. |
Date if sex was great. But she would have to prove herself before marriage. |
First of all what are the reasons? |
A lady I went to college with just looked me up - she was just divorced for the 3rd time at age 49 or 50. I’m cautious too |
I am 36. I married at 18, was divorced at 19. Bad choice on my part to say yes. I dated awhile. Had a long relationship, found a match and and married at 29. Married for 7 years and it has been awful. The marriage and divorce were awful.
I guarantee if you're lucky enough to find me available in my 50's, I'll drop you quicker than a brick in cement before you have a chance to ask DCUM if you'date me. Get lost. |
I’d see it as a red flag but not insurmountable. There are lots of red flags that could pop up. Most could be overcome if the there is the right chemistry etc. I mean: twice-divorced would not be something I would consider a plus! I would consider it a minus. But I recognize that life is complicated and people make mistakes and change and luck matters and people are more than their mistakes. So no, while it would be something g I was concerned about it would not be something that kept me from getting to know soemone. |
I wouldn't.
Remember OP, this is a board that uses the terms "starter marriage" and "starter house" as if it is normal - so I would not apply much I read here. Consider your source. |
