But it's so real. SO many people I wouldn't have imagined it before coming to be their lawyer are going through it. And it gets nasty. I would never want to be in that situation.
As a lawyer you deal with that side of a divorce. It's like nursing on an oncology floor, you start thinking everyone has cancer. Logically you know this isn't the case. The fact you're allowing your work to cloud your personal life is a concern, you should talk to someone about that.

Some of us are better at dealing with stress than others. The OP's problems probably go beyond just dating.
You are right. I need to do a better job of separating personal and professional perspective. In court all day tomorrow with a crazy couple on a divorce tomorrow with restraining orders, etc. So hard not to let it influence my personal thinking.
This would be like a doctor refusing to kiss his/her mate because of the extremely high risk of contracting millions of bacteria from his/her partner's saliva. You just can't do that.
A lot of people have professions that, if they overreact and overgeneralize work-related issues and carry them over into their personal relationships, will cause havoc in their lives. You need to make distinctions between your life, and what you see at work.
I should think the divorce lawyer's work would give him a lot of insight into early red flags, but not to the point of trying to put people off in the first date!
