[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"...my unemployed, uneducated, homeless poor, overweight, bald ex-husband has been taken into a very nice home by a single working mom with two kids.  She doesn't seem to be worried at all about having an unrelated male in her home.

Desperation perhaps?  I dunno."[/quote]

I hope you see the irony of criticizing someone dating your ex, who was presumably "unemployed, uneducated, homeless poor, overweight, bald" at some point during your relationship.  Desperation perhaps?  [/quote]

We married many years ago, when we were both young, thin, attractive - and gainfully employed.  I never would have divorced him merely for the things above.  It was the third cheating incident that prompted me finally to listen to our marital therapist, accept that he was not going to change, and divorce him.

My point is for the OP. She asked if it's really possible someone would want her ex.  My therapist, who had gotten to know my charming husband, said to me in our private session one night towards the end of my marriage, "Someone will take him, you know.  You need to be prepared for that. I see it all the time. No matter how awful he is (and at that point the therapist was totally convinced) someone will take him".

Someone will take him, OP.

The answer to OP's question based on my experience is that someone will take him, no matter how much baggage he may have.  [/quote]
