[quote=Anonymous]OP, yeah, ignore the people who just get some sort of sick gratification out of making you feel guilty. Of course you are wondering, at 34 and a year or so post-divorce, about dating and future relationships! The idea that you should dedicate yourself to solitude and celibacy for the duration of your babiy's childhood is ridiculous.  Is that supposed to be some sort of penance?

True, you should try to understand the lessons of your two bad marriage choices, and true, you obviously don't want to expose your child to an endless string of men who won't stay-- but you are absolutely entitled, like every other person on the planet, to seek love and companionship. As long as you're  careful about when you introduce someone to DC and in what capacity, there is no reason not to date.

As for the question of whether the two marriages will scare people off, I think it may scare some people off. But I don't think ou need to advertise on the first date. I think you put ourself out there as what you are: a divorced single mother. Most men are unlikely to press for further details unless and until they're seriously interested. What are odds someone will say, "ow many times have ou been married?" it could easily not come up for moths, and while you shouldn't lie if asked, I don't think ou have the slightest obligation to volunteer the information to people you date.  If and when you get serious with someone, tell him honestly aout oth marriages. If he's seriously interested in you at the point in time this might come up naturally, he's unlikely to break up simply because of this.[/quote]
