Am I **really** getting people telling me that an ex-spouse being in the picture means I'm "single" ?????
"single" doesn't have an ex ! That's "divorced"
hello... McFly !?

They have alot of good points, but divorced is as you mentioned "not" single. Your tagged so to speak, which kind of stinks in away. People tend to run, quicker before getting to know you or the situation better. So I would not add the detail, until after getting to know someone a little better for you(not your title). Then think about it...Is this person worth giving details of your private life to? It's not dishonest, just keeping your guard up! Why anyone would disclose private details of there life is beyond me. I wouldn't unless I felt the relationship was going some where!

Is this going to be a serious relationship and last? Is that the feeling you get in your heart/ Then tell her now, if you are just dating and it is just dating nothing more then no reason to say anything just yet. IT really shouldn't matter either way there is not a big deal in being divorced.

Preferably *before* you start dating. The existence of an ex-spouse often makes a lot of difference.

How much baggage comes with the divorce? There is at least an X, is there alimony? are there children? Was it friendly? The more your past intrudes on your day to day life the sooner you need to talk about it.

Last i checked, divorced was single! I wouldn't worry too much about it. Casually mention it to them; they might already know. Godloveya for being so considerate.

Get over it already... seriously. I knew this was you before I read the name.
If it was me, I would tell you when you became important to me. Obviously whoever this was that hurt you did not intentionally do so.
Start asking people when you first meet them if you are this concerned with it.

"divorced" IS single. Just because you WERE married and now you're not doesn't mean anything. I mean yes, you should let them know. but it doesn't mean that you are not single.

Whats the difference?? Should it make a difference?? Are you hidding kids from them or something?? In the beginning would of been good, seeing as you advisably have a problem with it.

you can't start a good relationship with a lie if you them to stay you have to trust and be honest. i led someone to believe i was already divorced when i wasn't yet, only cause he was from a very catholic family and they really didn't care.
