[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Stop it. She is 30. I am early 40s with more men interested than I know what to do with. She is not dead.[/quote]

[quote]I am sorry to say that a 28 year old with three kids is not exactly going to be the most popular woman on the dating apps....

Probably not but I am early 40s with two kids and have more attention than I could have imagined. But I am not looking to remarry. I would think a 28-year-old even with 3 kids would do better than me—and I literally have a line.[/quote]

A 30 year old divorced father of three is going to have an easier time dating than a 30 year old divorced mother of three under every logical scenario.  This fact will apply at 40 as well.

I understand that posters may have 'more men interested than I know what do with" and 'literally have a line" of men waiting.  This poster's (or posters') experience does not change the fact that divorced mothers have more trouble dating than divorced fathers.  Why should I "stop it" when stating a fact?

If a woman has an awful marriage, she has every right to get out of it.  Her post-divorce freedom is likely to be much better than her pre-divorce life.

The OP needs to consider the fact that her DH would like have more women interested than he knows what to do with post-divorce, and a line of his own.  As long as she understand how this fact would play into her considerations, she is informed enough to act.

To the posters with the lines and excess men, do you think that her DH (or XDH) would be sitting around pining for her instead of dating as much as he wants?

I do not agree at all that a man will have an easier time dating divorced with kids. Are you divorced with kids? If not, you don't know. This is not the old days. It has not been my experience than a man would have an easier time than a woman--at all. A man might have an easier time remarrying--maybe--but not dating. If I wanted to get married, I don't think I would have a problem remarrying. And I suspect I fare better than most divorced men with kids. Women do not necessarily want a mommy role to other's children .... I think more women in the past were like that. There are fewer of us now.

And regarding her DH--who cares if he would be dating as much as he wants? That is completely irrelevant. If she cares, she should not divorce. I do not care one bit who my exDH dates and had not for most of the marriage...hence a divorce. It is completely irrelevant.
