[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't everyone in the adult dating pool have something that is considered baggage? My 6 closest guy friends are all married, but if they weren't I'd consider them awesome catches, but:
-One has an alcoholic dad who goes through cycles of needing support in treatment and such
-One has seasonal depression that can get dark a few months of the year
-One has a sibling with down syndrome they will have to care for or manage the care of when his parents pass away eventually
-One has an overbearing opinionated mother
-One has a job that will likely requrie 55 hour weeks forever
-One has a constant pain issue from a car accident that prevents him from doing overly strenuous activity and can flare up worse with damp weather.

But these guys are all high quality humans- kind, funny, communicative, smart, good incomes, etc.

Idk, my ex spouse had a complete mental breakdown which I faithfully tried to support them through for 5+ years before I needed to take care of myself and leave. It makes me sad to think if I fell in love again, people would advise them to run away from me based on an ex I can't control when I have so much goodness to give a partner.[/quote]

You really aren't helping the case for divorced men being good catches. I can't imagine marrying any of what you have described.

As to you, you can't be hurt if a partner doesn't want to also be saddled with your mentally unstable ex for the rest of their life. [/quote]
