I can understand how you feel, because I have been in relationships with certain 'types' and thought, omg, never again!

I have an ex bf who I was with for a few years who was horrible. Just awful. Had his PhD. He was no blue collar like my ex husband had been. I thought..never again. There was nothing else that I could really generalize him with. No group of people. I couldn't really call him white collar, because he never really had a job! He just had money.

So I never really wanted to be with a man who had not been married or had children. To me, those are men with no life experience.

I met a pretty nice guy who was both. He had his PhD and had never been married or had children. He was nice enough, but he was not for me.

He wasn't so bad that I wrote off either type again.

Now I am in a relationship with a man who has never been married not had children and he is wonderful.

People are a strange thing. There are no two alike and you are making a broad generalization because of a couple of bad experiences. Maybe that is good for all the divorced men out there, I don't know.

What I do know is I don't think you should have this all divorced men are evil outlook either.
I don't think divorced people are evil, I have explained countless times why I can not date divorced men, and it is due to religious reasons. I am not interested in dating someone not open to marrying in church.

A guy might not be interested in a woman who has lived in sin before, either.

What does your religion say about that?

But it's not the same thing because I can marry in the church.

Wait, your church won't marry a previously divorced person?

I'm sure catholic churches have done this for decades in Australia...

The Catholic Church has a thing about divorce...

OP, do you know yet if Taco Man has accepted your invitation to the card game? I've been thinking about the situation. The poor guy probably thinks that since you look like a model, you could do so much "better" than a working-class schlump like him. So he can't understand what your interest is about, and he probably thinks he has nothing to offer. Poor guy.

Haven't heard yet but you never know. It's only Wednesday so he may tell me before Saturday. If he can't come maybe he will call and suggest an alternative who knows.

Yes the Catholic Church frowns on divorce in most cases. Why some don't get this I don't know. I don't have to settle on this and like I mentioned before I am okay not marrying if it comes down to this. However I am not giving up on him yet because he may surprise me.

Oh, he may have to work Saturday. Next time you'll have to make it a Sunday cardgame. I wouldn't count on his suggesting an alternative; he doesn't seem to have the social skills or confidence for that. We'll see.

Actually, you said they were failures. That they failed at marriage. That is a far cry from "he can't get married in a church." That is an affront. You're changing your tune now that you've been called on it.
