30+ and never married.. Possibly afraid to commit ?

30+ and divorced.. Possibly can't cope with long term and maybe not willing to get along and compromise?

What do you think and why?
dunno

I thin both have their disadvantages....BUT I would have to honestly say that 30+ and divorced twice or more would give me more cause for concern...it tells me they either rush into serious things too quickly and want someone just so they won't be alone...or they cheat or do something to cause their partners to end their marriages because they don't take marriage serious enough.....wave roll eyes uh oh hug kiss hug heart beating

30+ and never married - perhaps afraid to commit, other priorities up to this point besides relationships, etc., indecisive as to what they are looking for in a person, purposely choosing non-committing partners (safer), the list goes on

30+ and divorced twice or more - depending on your perspective they had things to be learned (from each partner) or possibly made some less than perfect choices

either one could be risky - I went with the second one as a higher risk based on some assumptions - perhaps they married right out of school, divorced and married again - the point being they may not know what it takes to make them happy and may well look to another person to do so

I know I'm opening myself up for criticism by making assumptions - but there you have it

Divorce has only been available here since 1996, so any figure are relatively new.

For me, it's 30+ and never been married. No experience with marriage, divorce, issues...unless they've been in a few very long term relationships that were the same as marriages.

The 30+ and divorced twice or more wouldn't make me hesitate as much because maybe they've learned something along the way, as I have done. Also, it would depend on why the marriages broke up. It doesn't always take two to end a marriage.

I don't know about other places, but here in PA, most get divorced simply for "irreconcilable" differences, so that won't help. dunno

I think it's getting to know the person. However, I got burned this way in my third marriage, though...thought I knew him until after we were married.

Sometimes, Ras, you've just got to make mistakes along the way. sigh
