re: How do you approach a subject of divorce with new dates?

new dates

subtle brag. If they don’t work out, tell them to IM me on here. It’s been decades since I’ve been on a date

Don't make a big deal out of it, just drop it into conversation casually. Like, "My ex-wife's pussy was tighter, but she was a bitch and you got a better arse. Hand me another cigarette, sweety."

Just assuming that's how divorced sinners talk to each other.

I brought it up very early on. I was same as you. 30, no kids, still on good terms with ex wife. Chicks dig transparency. I would mention it in the getting to know you part of the first date and it was always the right call.

I was married at 23 divorced at 26, no kids either. I feel your pain. I didn’t start dating seriously again for 3 years. It needs to come up naturally whenever you all naturally start talking about past relationships. So whether it’s the first date or the 5th. But don’t lie either. Because it will be real awkward to fix a couple dates down the road.

I remarried at 33, all is good 10 years later. There’s hope. Good luck.

I think it would come off negatively to bad mouth or even act bitter, just leave it as we grew apart or wanted different things in life.

who in the hell would consider a previous relationship being a dealbreaker?

previous relationship =\= failed marriage

If your state is like Arkansas, records are online and easy to search, she probably knew before the date started.

It’s not a dealbreaker but it’s not a flattering reflection on someone. I understand relationships fail, but if it was one that rose to the level of marriage and then failed, it likely reflects the person is difficult in some way, and likely that there was infidelity on at least one side. And they will always blame the other person whether that’s true or not.

Why would you bother talking about that on a new date? I mean, if she asked I'd tell her about it but otherwise wouldn't even mention it.
