I agree w T-blu. I was single,got married,was served papers to appear in court. A judge granted a divorce. I didn't become single,I became divorced. And most friends and people in your life refer to you as divorced. They don't say he or she's single. I'm divorced.

I think the divorce label isn't nearly as raunchy now as it was once. I'm not proud to be divorced.. I just am.. divorced.. period!

You are divorced, therefore you are single again. Ha Ha That was for Atlantic but I see he's invisible now. Divorce is the title of the document or decree not the person. You are legally divorced, which means Legally divided one from the other, not legally labled. I guess some churchs don't want ch'ya if your divorced, no big loss there, unless you are a big tither, then their loss. I think using the titles here makes sense and provides aid in understanding where another has been in life. I'm just saying there is no reason to lable yourself this way in the everyday world. Is there? Channa

I say divorced... although I agree that it used to not be a good thing if you were divorced.. the first time.. I waited 8 years after leaving to get divorced.. the 2nd time.. I was divorced with in 3 months ... wasted enough of my life staying MARRIED to them..

If I have marriage experience then how come I'm divorced??? Not a very good teacher then. Maybe if someone asks me what's it like to be in a happy marriage I can say 'I don't know' ... some experience. Some what like telling someone I'm a doctor cuz I can bandage a boo boo on my son's finger ... I've got experience.

I asked my pastor what she thought i should say to people now after 4 years divorced this is what she said when people ask tell them you are divorced with 3 children but, however, you have been divorced 4 years and it would be okay to say your single ... it's whatever you feel comfortable with ..... so when people ask I tell them yes I'm divorced yes I have 3 beautiful children by my ex but I am also single

Dustin has removed the restrictions between single and divorced after I said I was going to file a class action law suit. JUST KIDDING! We can now run between both the divorced and singles forums......

Clark, I think your pastor gave you very good advice. When I was first divorced, 19 years ago, I would always reply that I was divorced. Somewhere along the line I just said single, not to be deceptive...it was all so long ago, and in my opinion so unimportant now. As to how I should label myself on a profile...give me a break..what is important is I am not married! When I file my taxes I file single no dependents..if it is good enough for the Federal Goverment, it should be good enough on any profile description.

Exactly Atlantic...That woman then is not who I am today, sometimes when I think back to that time in my life (which is not often) I find it hard to believe it was all in the same lifetime.

Being divorced is single, and alone and lonely and usually broke...Make sense to anyone?
