Statistics say that a divorced woman, over 30, with children, is unlikely to remarry. Her market value is near nil. I haven't really spent time researching it, but that's what I've gleaned from random internet articles, forums, etc.
I was that woman, mid 30s, divorced, kids. I met my husband, we fell madly in love (I really think it was love at first sight) and he married me. He said he knew he was lost during the first date. Really romantic. It really was that simple.
This is not to say we didn't have our share of problems adjusting to the blended family situation afterwards, but that's not my point in this thread.
If you had "that" feeling about a woman, you know the one where you say "I don't want to let this one get away", would the fact that she had kids from a previous marriage stop you? Or, to take the idea even further, would you not even bother dating, let alone enter into a committed relationship with a woman who already had kids from a previous marriage?
In my entourage, I'm one of the few divorced and remarried people so I don't really know. Some of my H's colleagues have divorced and are now with younger women - max 30 years old and without children. I'd just be interested to read the reactions on here.
