Any tips for dating a divorced man?

I'm dating a man that was married for 4 years. He seems like a wonderful guy. For people that have been divorced, or have dated or been in relationships with someone that's divorced, is it any different then dating someone that's never been married? This is a first for me.





Is there anything I should be aware of, or sensitive to?





I really like this guy, and I would like to do all I can to make whatever may happen as good as possible.Any tips for dating a divorced man?
I'm divorced, and have dated others that are divorced also. Granted, there was some common ground because of it, but communication is the key to any relationship. Ask him about his previous relationship, just like you would about a former girlfriend. Find out what he likes, dislikes, and discuss what you both desire for the future. Don't force yourself into being the EXACT opposite of his ex. Always be YOURSELF. If his ex and you both loved asparagus and he hated it, you wouldn't stop eating it would you? If both of you keep open minds and are honest, you'll know whether you are a match for him and if he can be a match for you. And always remember that a marriage takes 2 people...he may have been a source of aggravation for his ex. Remember he's human, and that means he will have flaws of his own. It's the severity of the flaws that should determine how good of a match for you that he really is.Any tips for dating a divorced man?
first of all look out that he may be on the rebound and not looking for a serious relationship. You on the other hand want to be respected so should not give in until you're married. A formerly married man may rush the sex thing because he was used to having that. So that's not a good thing for you, and so the both of you have different intentions, so not an ideal match.





You might want to know why he divorced and if there were chidlren involved. If there were children that would cause a problem for you. Then again if he beat up on his wife that would be another problem for you. Conversation is the best remedy. Don't rush into anything as there may be things you can't get out of him (information) in less than a year.
Realize that he may be very very hesitant to become serious again. You might get hurt. I would want to know why it ended. If she cheated on him he may have issues with trusting again. If he does not want to talk about it then he probably was the problem.
Don't talk about you all getting married unless he make it a topic of conversation.
Make sure he is over his ex. If he has kids expect that his ex will be a part of your future with him. Find out the reasons for his divorce. If he is mentally healthy you should just have the normal relationship problems. If he is a sick-o he will punish you for the wrongs of his ex. You will be able to tell if he is ready for another relationship. Rebounds seldom work out.
No, not really..


Find out the true reason his first marriage was a failure..


Make sure you get a good Pre-Nup if you marry him...
go for it! follow your heart!








although he will probably be abusive a few years down the line, not to mention emotionally closed off and alcoholic, you'll have gained weight, be past your prime and have a special needs child by then, not to mention the financial hardships that are sure to accompany any such situation, but hey...?





love is in the air! he's SOOO charming, he just made a mistake and married the wrong girl thats all, its different this time...i'm sure of it...
#1 make sure his divorce is FINAL.


#2 Is the ex-wife psycho? was it mutual divorce?


#3 Children involved?


#4 Make sure he is emotionally ready, a lot of guys fresh out of a relationship are lonely, dont be the ';rebound'; woman, just someone to soothe his damaged ego
you don't mention kids...which would be an obvious problem. If no kids, then what's the difference between a divorced man and one who has come out of a long-term relationship? None, really. Same rules apply, same concerns. It is unfortunate that statistically most relationships don't succeed. Many do. Both sides have to work at it. If you think he's worth working with, go for it. Good luck.
It is different.... just remember that if it was a bad marriage some men carry what his ex did to him and it could cause him to not be so trusting at first. A lot of men that have just got out of a marriage don't want to jump into a relationship soon after either. They want to have fun for a while before they take that step. Oh and don't smother him... give him his space and don't be demanding.
If he has children, take a good look at what you may bi in for,





Also, if he has a lot of anger, and baggage, he may not have dealt with,, it may not be healthy, or promissing,,





find out what was the BIG ISSUE, WHY DID HE DIVORCE, AND LISTEN, REALLY LISTEN,, TO YOUR CLUES.
first of all make sure he is divorced. and hope hes not just telling you that. and no it is no different then dating anyone else except he may be afraid of commitment after going through a divorce. also he may be afraid to love again. depends on why they got divorced. also if he has kids and it does work out are you ready for a ready made family. because if hes a great father his kids will always come first no matter what. and if he does have kids you need to know he will be in contact with his ex because of the kids. so i would just check out these things carefully and go from there. good luck :)
I'd find out the real reason he got divorced. You can't always trust the divorcee to tell you.





For instance, been married 4 yrs to my husb and come to find out, he made plans to meet a skank this summer when he travels back to his homeland. Of course when I confronted him, he said he wasy sorry and he'd not do it again, blah blah blah.





Well, for the past 6 months, my heart has been splintered and broken. It has finally hardened and today I had divorce papers drawn up.





Now, anyone who has met my husb thinks he is a perfect angel and that he'd never do such a thing. I thought he was perfect, too when I married. Loved him more than anything in life, besides my kids. That is why I kept copies of the emails I found. To show those who think I am a heartless bytch when I divorce him.
