[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beware divorced guys with sub-par domestic skills.  A lot of them want exactly what you fear... a replacement for their ex, to move in and cook and clean and make the house a home.  Hard pass!!!  Some of these guys will latch on to the first female willing to sleep with them.  Don’t fall for it.

If you really like him and it becomes serious, keep your households separate until his kids are grown and off to college.  Blended families are HARD.  If your relationship can’t take waiting a few years until his kids are off to college, then it sure as heck won’t survive blended family issues.

Yep, take it very slow. Divorced men are divorced for a reason. Question is what was it - cheating, emotionally abusive, or domestically lazy?[/quote]

Seriously, anyone divorced, male or female, should set off every red flag imaginable. Make sure you know what role they played in their failed marriage, and no matter how innocent they pretend to be, remember it always takes two.[/quote]

The OP is in her 40s. The pool of never-married men in their 40s (her target demographic) is small, and frankly, their never-married status is also a red flag. Why didn't they ever get married? Immature, sexually dysfunctional, psychologically damaged, got sent to prison, totally focused on career? Whatever the case, if divorced and never-married men in their 40s both raise red flags, then she doesn't have a lot of options, does she?

Or you could take the view that marriages end for a lot of reasons, and the mere fact that it ended does not make that person damaged goods for the rest of their lives.[/quote]

Being a man is a red flag. What form of toxic masculinity does he exhibit? Laziness, ADHD, abusive, entitled, expects a domestic slave, irresponsible, even violent? Beware of men![/quote]
