[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Yeah, my comment about looks comparison was irrelevant.

All this is really making me re think dating guys who are divorced, period. Especially the ones who have been married for so long and basically grew up with someone. It feels almost like I am dating someone else's husband. I only started being willing to date divorced guys a year ago and now I'm thinking I should stop. I want a serious relationship and if so many divorced people don't or or possibly hung up on their ex wives, maybe I am wasting my time.[/quote]

Op, it does not matter how much better looking you are than the ex. She initiated the divorce. You’re competing against her rejection of him, their family, his kids. So it’s more than the physical aspect of his prior wife. I’ve been married 22 years, together 25. Although I’ve gained 30 lbs during the last five years and  my hair is 50% grey. I would have to initiate any divorce to break up our relationship, and I think it would be 5 or more years before he would consider a serious relationship, more for remarriage. These things are complicated. He is trying to tell you he doesn’t want to be responsible for your feelings.[/quote]
