What Are Your Thoughts On Divorced Men and Commitment?

April 14, 2013 10:50pm CST
Need opinions from both sides, especially divorced men who have remarried. Are divorced men who are in present relationships more willing to commit to their new significant other (the ones who are good women, of course), or are they more fearful of commitment? If so, why or why not?

I cannot speak about the others, but I can speak for myself. I've been separated for many years and until now I am still afraid to commit myself into another relationship, because of fear. I am afraid of failure and it's hard to determine how to choose someone who seriously wants to have a lasting relationship.

Thanks. I have learned that fear is not always good, which is why I had to overcome it. I have seen so many friends and loved ones close to me run from problems instead of facing them. Learned to be of good courage when I had to divorce and move forward. It took me a long time to enter a relationship but I am glad I waited too. It is hard to determine which is why it's better to let him find us. I pray that you can overcome your fear and that the right person comes along for you.

Hi amundy8! First it depends of what made the divorce to happen. For me, if the guy is not the main cause of the divorce then it's okay but of course expect him to have issues about trusting you if you're his new partner to be. If the issue is about his ex-wife cheated him. At the first few years of the relationship, his ugly past might hunt him and he might have difficulty trusting you. Both sides just have to work harder to make the relationship succeed. Anyways, there's not guarantee in any relationship. It's always a work in progress. Love, trust, respect, communication and loyalty must always be there. Everyone deserves a second chance. Who would want to be in a broken marriage? We just have to know the person well before getting married. Have a nice day!

I personally don't trust divorced men. And I don't expect any relationship after that will be committed. When it's divorce, it usually ends in another divorce. but there are good cases too that divorced men finally find the right woman for them. Still, I think it is not good to involve with them. If they don't trust, if they don't commit and they are afraid to take risks, then they should remain single. I seriously find it disgusting when divorced unfaithful men flirt around.
