Hello, friends! Today, I want to take a moment to address some of the common myths and misconceptions surrounding divorced women. We’ve all seen the stereotypes, and it’s high time we set the record straight!

First off, to any anonymous men lurking behind fake profiles online: No, we’re not interested in private messages or casual encounters. And to the trolls in Facebook groups, we didn’t join those communities for your unsolicited wisdom or to be swept off our feet by your “charm.”

To our still-married friends or casual acquaintances, let’s be clear: We’re not after your partners. If we wanted what we had, we wouldn’t have left in the first place! The idea that divorced women are just waiting to pounce on anyone with a pulse is completely off base.

Divorce doesn’t turn us into anything we’re not. We’re not desperate for attention or affection. Instead, we’re navigating a new chapter in our lives, often filled with worries and uncertainties. Here’s what many of us truly desire:

  1. We want to ensure that our children are okay after the split.
  2. We seek reassurance that we can thrive on our own after years of partnership.
  3. We hope that our finances will hold up, allowing us to provide for our families.
  4. We’re often too busy to even think about dating—household chores and parenting take priority.
  5. We crave the belief that love is still out there for us, even if our past relationships didn’t work out.
  6. We’re looking for supportive friends who can help us through this transition—someone to keep us grounded during those “two-for-one margarita” nights.

Let’s face it: Many of us are more concerned about feeling attractive again or figuring out how to date in today’s world. We’re not rushing into anything, especially not with online trolls or creeps who think we’re just waiting for a chance to snag the first guy that comes along.

Instead of chasing after fleeting connections, what we really want is the time to heal and rediscover ourselves. For those who think divorced women are just looking for a quick fling, take a moment to reassess. We’re too busy figuring out if we can buy wine in bulk—because yes, we can!
