I don't "hate" single parents, I just would not have married one. That is not hatred or punishing the person. From what I've seen, most single parents have no problems finding dates or partners.

Personally, aside from the kids issue, I couldn't really relate to men who married at a young age, because I didn't do that. I did other things with my life in my 20s. So we were just coming from two different places. I also couldn't relate to the divorce drama since I'd never been through a divorce myself. I would listen and sympathize, but then I needed sometimes to talk about myself and my own needs. And found that I would need to talk to someone else for that.
