I’m not currently dating but when I do date (sometime between 4 months from now and... maybe never), I’m not sure when is the right time to bring up that I’m divorced. 27F, no kids, in law school, divorced a LVM this fall, separated almost a year. I don’t think any woman necessarily needs to disclose divorcee status—and I don’t think it needs to be disclosed on a first date—but I’d love advice on how to balance being honest with showing that you’re strong/over it and focusing on the future.

I’m also Christian so tbh I think my target audience of dates might care more than most. Fwiw, my basic explanation is ‘I was briefly married, I got divorced and I’ve cut ties with with my ex for over a year, he wasn’t honest about some things that were very important to me and I found out right after the wedding.’
