Thank you to everyone for your support and advice. I promise you that I do take it all on board, even though it sometimes comes across that I'm being defensive.

I have tried so hard in the past, when online dating, to make sure that I pick someone suited to me and look out for the red flags, but sometimes I find it difficult to know when I'm just being oversensitive. I guess I tend to gloss over the warning signs because I do wonder whether it's me overreacting and because, if I'm honest, a huge part of me thinks "you can't afford to be fussy" but I guess it's all about having the confidence and self worth to walk away when I don't feel something is acceptable. I just don't know how I begin to start fully loving myself.

I don't want to say that I will never date a separated man again (because I feel everyone has a past and at my age of 32 the odds are getting higher) but perhaps I need to make sure they are officially divorced and been divorced for at least 2 years.
