“I expect everyone our age to have a little bit of baggage.

Just know that my baggage is mine, yours is yours and there’s no need to discuss it between us.”

Now tell me about XYZ.

Don’t hide it. But don’t mention it till it comes up.

It’s just a fact of life

I’m unattached.

After that, STFU.

Part of your path is to a bit mysterious. But you already knew that from the fucking sidebar. Right ?

Redirect conversation to talk about her. She doesn't really want to talk about you anyway. She just does that to be polite. She really just wants all the attention on her.

But let's be honest with you: You are going through a divorce. This is a fucking horrible time for you. You should probably be spending your time either at the gym or working on your career or raising your kids, if you have any. These three things will build you and give you long-term satisfaction, in a way that a relationship with a woman will not.

You are getting divorced now, so clearly the "'til death do us part" part of your vows didn't mean anything.

I read your past posts. If I were you I’d focus 100% of my energy on restarting my life proper and moving out on my own. Your marriage and living situation sounds troublesome and unsustainable to say the least. What are you doing building sand castles looking to date around in front of these waves which keep coming that is your home life?

Why would you ever qualify yourself to a woman? Isn't she trying out for your team? Adjust your mindset.

Lay it out on the table if things are going well. Just be upfront like "just a heads up as we seem to be hitting it off, I am currently separated/soon to be divorced. Just let them know she means nothing etc. Then change the convo.

I went through this same thing although I was living in my own place.
