He has been broken down! Divorced men understand what it's like to be in a committed relationship within which there are compromises and accommodations. His resistance has already been broken down by another woman so that you don't have to endure the push back yourself.
He uses his words. Divorced men tend to be better communicators. There is a decent chance that he went to therapy during his marriage, if not after, and he has become fairly proficient at communicating needs and feelings more clearly.
He's been broken in! Another thing about divorced men that you might not want to think about but will happily benefit from? They just "get" you. That's because they've been with more women, or at least one woman for an extended period of time, and dealt with more attitudes, moods, issues, and emotions. With experience often comes understanding. In other words, he has already been broken in.

as i said before, he knew what would happen to eve if he didn’t eat it, she’d die alone and he’d live on without her.
Adam did not know that, at least from the Biblical narrative. Why was he told he could eat anything except that one tree? If he did not eat, would he have died?
I doubt that was any consideration at the time, because that would have taken him actually believing God on the matter.
no, he would not have died. the sin of breaking God’s law would have caused his temporal and eternal death. no sin, no death/judgment.
well i guess we disagree. at least it isn’t on any critical point of faith.
Adam was well aware of Eve’s origin and knew that God could make another like her. So why did he disbelieve God on the matter of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? This was not about choosing Eve over God.
I heard about a week ago it was 60% of remarriages divorce...maybe it was an old statistic?
In spending a lot of years single in my youth, I learned that “most men are all alike, they just have different faces so we can tell them apart.” The saying was ‘men’ and I added ‘most men’ because there are exceptions to every rule.....a little humor. :)
Most men expect the woman to do all the cooking, laundry, cleaning, and hold a full time job...then take care of the children’s diapers, baby food, and baths. Tell me, just what is their part in marriage? A few change a few diapers and cook a meal now and then, and others do the laundry; while shrinking your favorite clothes that weren’t supposed to be dried on high heat.
The point being that divorces may have something to do with ‘women and men are not created equal when it comes to the marital division of chores. That old stereotype for women was okay fifty years ago when the woman stayed home, but now the division of labors should be a shared responsibility.
Men have an advantage as there are 10 women to every man, then take out all those who aren’t interested in women, then you know finding a good man is like a good parking space “all the good ones are taken”.
My spouse is ill, but was very supportive and helpful when he could over the years. I disagree that divorced men are best to date and marry...evidently, they didn’t train well the first time, so what chance is there on a second try.,,,lol
you assume incorrectly that he disbelieved God on the matter.
I’m just matching actions with thought, especially with respect to Genesis 2:16-17. (Remember, the phrase translated “the man” in that verse is actually the Hebrew word Adam.)
Never thought of that~~LOL.
Too many women are princesses and believe they deserve a fantasy guy and a fairy tale ending.
<><><><
Gonna get slammed for saying the following.
And there are stupid men marrying these women. If you take your time and get to know someone a bit, you know what you are getting. They just don’t become princesses post marriage, they were before.
Do your damned due diligence. You do it for everything else you spend time/money on (cars, guns, homes, etc.).
But nooooo. She’s pretty. She’s got a great bod. My friends are jealous cuz she’s a hottie.
Sorry, those commercials depicting men as idiots appear to reflect reality,if everything we read on this thread is true.
Why are we giving up our power to women like this?
Married once, celebrating 25 years in a month.
Ducking now, expecting incoming.

Wow! Incredible numbers and terrible to contemplate.
Thank you for responding to my question. Much appreciated.
I guess we have opposing sources. Believe the one that you think has more credibility.
Looks to me those in their 20’s are by far the most susceptible. Not a category most of us would fall into.
Yes, because people never lie and pretend to be something they are not. So, because I got lucky everyone else is an idiot. Does that sum up your post?
That’s the opposite of what he posted.
Perhaps so, but you assume a lot.
It must be pretty tiring being so d@mn perfect...were you born that way, or do you find it necessary to share the credit?
My apologies if you see yourselves in my rant.
I have a bit of an issue with men acting like victims for our marriage choices.
