[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The possibility of a divorced woman with three school-aged children finding married bliss with a "dream lover" are pretty slim. I'd stick with the guy you like who is the father of your children.[/quote]

Actually, this is a pretty stupid statement. Most women around here remarry happily. The trick is finding someone who is a match - roughly equal in terms of age, education, career and/or income. And looks, of course, like it or not.

As a male who was divorced with 2 kids and got remarried, I doubt that is true. Older, established, divorced men with kids have way more dating choices than their female counterparts. I remarried to someone 10 years younger with no kids. I would have never remarried to a women who had 3 kids. Nor would I have dated such a person. Way too much baggage.[/quote]

Does your new wife think of your kids as baggage?[/quote]

Exactly my thoughts.  What a horrible way to label children.  They are people, with hearts and feelings.  How dare you call them baggage!!!!  What a jerk.[/quote]

Call them whatever you want, but the fact is that second marriages in which the couple has kids from the previous marriage are much more likely to fail than second marriages in which the couple has no kids from previous marriage, and you'd have to be stupid not to take this into account.

A man would also have to be stupid not to take into account the fact that if he marries a woman who already has kids, he will be on the hook for those step-kids legally, financially, and emotionally. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a man not wanting to sign up for those costs and with a man preferring a woman who has no kids.[/quote]
