The Ministry as a profession (of at least three religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam) is one that does NOT look favorably upon men divorcing especially after they've reached a certain rank or higher. Of course it depends on the denomination or sect within these religions. Some denominations/sects are much more conservative than others.
Our Rabbi divorced 2 years ago and recently remarried a non-Jewish woman so definitely not an issue in Reform Judaism.
I’m not a fan. I dated a freshly divorced woman. It was like being 18 again for her, and while that was a lot of fun at first, it quickly became clear that she was more focused on being liberated from an abusive relationship and catching up on having a good time more than on finding a stable emotional touchstone. It was a fun three months or so, and I regret none of it, but I also don’t regret ending it.

The problem in your relationship wasn't that she was divorced IMO........it was that she wasn't healed from an abusive relationship AND she didn't want to settle down.

I went through something similar, except it was more like she was 21 again. We went out on St Pattys day and she was the only one in the group to throw up in a porta potty. I think she just needed to be in a relationship to help her feel wanted and complete.

IMO too many of us settle.....& some that try to drink their pain away too. They aren't all divored.
