At dinner, Stock Exchange Boy and I were discussing relationships in general and he mentioned something that was a little shocking to me. He said that he is divorced. This threw me a little bit and I was thinking about it the rest of the evening.
On one hand, it is something that makes you question the person. Why are they divorced? Were they a jerk? Was their wife a jerk? He elaborated on the situation by saying that his Ex-Wife and him are still friends and talk about once a month. Things had just ended because they grew apart.
Ok, so fine, things ended amicably. Then I started thinking if I would ever want to be in a serious relationship with someone who is divorced (I know it should be more about the person and not their status, but it is something to think about). I would think that if/when I get married I would want to go on that journey with someone that hasn't been there before. I would want to experience it with my husband who was also experiencing marriage for the first time too. On the other hand, I hear that marriage is HARD. Maybe it would be better to marry someone who has been through the situation before and has learned from the mistakes of the past.
I think the conclusion that I came to in the end is that it should be more about the person and not their relationship title. Another conclusion is that I am not ready to get married anytime soon, so I won't have to think about that for awhile :)
