Someone having married more than twice or never by the age of 50 are both equally red flags IMO.
How in the world is never marrying by the age of 50 a red flag? Doesn't really make any sense to me.

It could just be as simple as they never found a person that they wanted to marry (yet at least), and decided not to just marry anyone for the sake of it.

No thanks.
Lol, not sure why I even bother with your "troll" posts at this point, but I'll bite.

So if the guy became abusive, drunk, a cheater, grew apart, etc. You'd still think it's a red flag on the woman's part?

Just say you don't prefer dating divorce people under any circumstance, and not because it's an automatic red flag.

What???
I was with my now ex-husband for 24 years and he left me for another woman. Why am I now thought of as a red flag? Does his cheating make me un-dateable? Should I have stayed in the marriage? (Three's a crowd for me.)

Just because I post something you disagree with doesn't mean I'm "trolling."

But I wouldn't want to date a divorced woman. If the guy was an ass, then yes I'd feel bad and offer my sympathy but that's it.

Edited to add: If I were trolling, (Which I'm not) you'd know it.

That guy was an a** and he did you a favor by leaving so you can do better.

I'm sure you'll find someone who'll accept you (You probably already have) but I don't date divorced women.

Just my choice.

I'm wondering if he collects alimony from his wives, I wouldn't be surprised if the women were financially better off than he is. I would never marry a man that has been married 4 times, unless of course I want to hold the title ex-wife #5! Heck, I wouldn't even consider a man that has been divorced twice. If you couldn't figure it out the second time around, I wouldn't be interested. As for third times a charm, yeah right!!

Same. Too much bitter baggage and mental illnesses to deal with.

My mom had been married more than 3x, her last marriage was in Kentucky, same place that stupid county clerk Kim Davis refused to give marriage licenses to gay folks. Davis should have had more of a problem with my mother getting married for the millionth time IMO, than a gay couple getting married for the first time.

No, it doesn't make any sense. For your reasons, or the person they found and wanted to marry didn't want to marry them, or get married at all.

I find that hard to believe. You've probably met thousands of women. How could not one of them have been divorced twice?
