[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He prob cheated, is not fully divorced, doesn’t see his kids often etc. I would not be comfortable dating someone who isn’t transparent abt these things bc they speak to his character.[/quote]

Any/all of these things.  I’m separated and in the process of divorcing and know that my ex is dating and I often wonder how he handles these questions – because the answers might be red flags to anyone looking for anything beyond sex.  I assume he’s vague – which is appropriate in some areas, but not in others.  Are you divorced is a yes/no question.  How often do you see your kids isn’t deeply personal.  No one needs the ugly details early on, but there are some baseline things that give another person enough information to know if there’s a potential match beyond swiping whatever direction one swipes.

I have no issue with the term baggage, although I wouldn’t use it in reference to kids.  But I definitely have emotional baggage after a 20+ year marriage and that’s why dating again isn’t on my radar and probably won’t be for a long time.  I have a lot of work to do on myself if there’s any hope of avoiding another mess.[/quote]
