[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to get flamed for this, but I'm going to break with what some of the other posters are saying.

You are 29. If you get divorced, that'll take a year. Say you spend a couple of years dating before you meet a better match, that will take you to about age 32. Then you spend a couple of years dating the right guy before you get engaged. Then you spend a year engaged, now you're 35, at least. Then you spend 6 months getting pregnant, and nine months actually pregnant. Now you're 36/37 when your first child is being born. And that's if everything goes according to plan, and you have no trouble.

If you want kids, I'd think long and hard before ditching a starter marriage to a guy who would make a good father. You can get divorced later. [/quote]

Nah. If she is normal, relatively attractive and looking, she'll get snapped up fast. Remarried in 2-3 years. Can have a kid shortly thereafter. [/quote]  That is not what I have seen with my friends at all.  Beautiful, talented, fun to be around and single years after divorce with no prospects.[/quote]

I've noticed this also. And the ones who have remarried have made some sort of obvious concession (e.g. a guy who is 10+ years older, which I'm sure will be fun on the back end, or a guy who is absolutely nowhere near their level professionally, in a way that bothers them). There's also a fair amount of stress in the dating process. Mid 30s guys are often slower to commit. More than one male friend has expressed frustration to me about women in this age bracket, because so many of them are VERY marriage minded in a way that is hard to hide.[/quote]
