When Should I Disclose To My New Boyfriend That I’m Divorced?

I am a professional in my early 30s and was married for seven years. I was divorced two years ago and remained single till I decided this year that I am sick of being lonely and the only single person in my social circle, so decided to try my luck at online dating. I want to thank you for the awesome insights you provide in your books and blogs. After reading Why He Disappeared and Believe in Love, I dated with so much confidence and finally started exclusively dating an intelligent, successful, thoughtful man that I really, really like. He asked me to be his girlfriend after a month and I happily said, “yes”.

However, something is haunting me and I desperately need your help. I did not tell him I was divorced. I don’t know how much or when I should disclose my past. I don’t want to scare him away. But when he asked me about my relationship, after a few dates, I told him I was with the same person for 8 years and we grew apart.

I don’t view divorce as my failure. Rather it is a memorable life lesson where I learned how to treat my partner equally and communicate better.

How and when should I disclose my past marriage without jeopardizing my relationship with my new boyfriend?

Thank you again for your guidance.

-Olivia

Olivia,

I appreciate your kind words, so forgive me if I kind of dispense with the niceties and cut to the inherent contradiction in your question.

To wit:

1. “I don’t view divorce as my failure.”

2. “I did not tell him I was divorced. I don’t want to scare him away. How and when should I disclose my past marriage without jeopardizing my relationship with my new boyfriend?”

Evidently, Olivia, you view your divorce as a failure, or at least some sort of personal embarrassment. Otherwise, why would you hide something as integral to your relationship history as a marriage and a divorce?

Your divorce isn’t the problem. Your lying and your insecurity is.

Let’s just take a second to pick this apart and hold it up to you, so you can see what I see:

You say you’ve got a great boyfriend.

But instead of telling him the truth about your divorce (something that you are NOT embarrassed about) you lied to him and pretended you’d never been married.

Now I ask you: what do you think is more likely to upset your boyfriend? The fact that you’re divorced (like 60-70% of people who first got married under the age of 25), or the fact that you lied to the one man who is supposed to trust you the most?

You’ve got it.

Pretty much everyone has a hard time with a partner who has an iffy relationship with the truth.

Your divorce isn’t the problem. Your lying and your insecurity is.

I’m not sure what you’re afraid of – or why being divorced would jeopardize your relationship – but I can assure you that nobody outside super-religious circles judges divorcees any longer. But pretty much everyone has a hard time with a partner who has an iffy relationship with the truth.

So rip off the Band-Aid and tell your boyfriend you were married – and own the fact that the impetus for your lie was your shame and insecurity.

Otherwise, you’re implying that you were worried about him being so narrow-minded as to break up with you for no reason, which is kind of insulting to him, don’t you think?

Hypersensitivity, Political Correctness and Agreeing to Disagree

This article couldn’t have showed up at a better time.

It begins with some political stuff, but it really pertains to the comments section of this blog and dialogue on the internet, in general. As always, there’s enough in here to offend everybody (even though there’s nothing inherently offensive), because that’s what happens when one takes a centrist position, as I so often do in the “wars” between men and women.

Let me begin with a personal aside: I am consumed with the subject of liberal outrage.

Now, I am about as liberal as they come – a recent online quiz suggested that I was 91% aligned with Bernie Sanders politically – and yet, I have been incredibly alarmed that what was once the party of tolerance has shown itself to be remarkably intolerant of dissent.

Here are three things I’ve noticed about intolerance:

First of all, certain factions of the Republican Party have been known to be openly intolerant of women, gays, blacks, Latinos, Jews, etc. I’ve always said that “it’s not intolerant to be intolerant of intolerance.” Which is to say that outright bigotry – blatant discrimination against someone different than you should be called out and exposed.

Second, the Republicans have always seemed to be more intolerant of dissent and compromise than the Democrats. That’s where they came up with the idea of RINOs (Republicans in Name Only), where if you don’t toe the entire party line, you’re not really a Republican. President Reagan, for example, would be a RINO, just for raising taxes. This, too, seems incredibly limiting, to suggest that if you don’t agree with someone on every single thing, his/her opinion should be entirely dismissed or mocked.

Third, liberals may not have fully grabbed the intolerance torch from conservatives, but they’re definitely fighting hard for it. If you express an opinion that remotely questions (or jokes about) a far-left belief, you will be publicly shamed for it – as if no other opinions could possibly have merit. Insults and shaming are no way to discuss things in the marketplace of ideas. People should use facts, not straw man attacks or ad hominem slurs. To be fair, the right has engaged in smear tactics since I can remember. But – as we all know – two wrongs don’t make a right. That’s why I’m so disappointed that the left seems to have gone off the deep end in the Twitter age.

This is the culture we live in – one that has created the term “microaggressions” and then come up with a zero tolerance policy for such microaggressions.

Much has already been written about this subject. Here’s Jonathan Chait on how the language police are perverting liberalism. Here’s Chait again on the protests shutting down socialist Bernie Sanders stump speech for not being more aggressive in fighting for civil rights. And pretty much all of my favorite writers and comedians have been attacked by the PC police – Jerry Seinfeld, Stephen Colbert, Sam Harris, Andrew Sullivan, Bill Maher, Laura Kipnis. Why? Because even though all of them have socially liberal worldviews, they either made jokes or spoke their minds – much to the chagrin of their critics. Critics with nothing but a blog or a Twitter account, writing the most twisted interpretations of their words. Gladly willing to try to tarnish their names or destroy their careers than to engage in an actual conversation that involves listening. Jon Ronson even wrote a book about this sort of outrage, called “So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed.”

This is the culture we live in – one that has created the term “microaggressions” and then come up with a zero tolerance policy for such microaggressions. Anyway, this article from the Atlantic about “trigger warnings” on college campuses is long and well-researched, but I’m just going to share the conclusion:

“When the ideas, values, and speech of the other side are seen not just as wrong but as willfully aggressive toward innocent victims, it is hard to imagine the kind of mutual respect, negotiation, and compromise that are needed to make politics a positive-sum game.

Rather than trying to protect students from words and ideas that they will inevitably encounter, colleges should do all they can to equip students to thrive in a world full of words and ideas that they cannot control. One of the great truths taught by Buddhism (and Stoicism, Hinduism, and many other traditions) is that you can never achieve happiness by making the world conform to your desires. But you can master your desires and habits of thought.”

Okay, so why am I posting this on a blog about dating and relationships?

Well, because sometimes the rhetoric gets so heated in the comments section below that it threatens to overtake the value of the actual conversation. I have been giving free dating and relationship advice twice a week on this blog since 2007. I have approved 75,000 comments, thousands of which were vociferous criticisms of me and my advice. I’ve been blog trolled and Facebook trolled and Twitter trolled and comment trolled and email trolled. It doesn’t make me mad. It just makes me sad for those people who feel that the best form of debate is to create straw man arguments to attack me – all because I believe something different – something that is usually well-reasoned.

This post is not intended to fight with them. Facts rarely persuade people with strong feelings. I’m just going to use this space to add the postscript from the Atlantic article. Regular readers, have you ever seen the following arguments in the comments section below?

Common Cognitive Distortions

1. Mind reading. You assume that you know what people think without having sufficient evidence of their thoughts.

“Society judges women for being single. All Evan’s dating advice indicates is that he thinks we should just accept men as they are and that guys don’t need to change a thing.”

2. Fortune-telling. You predict the future negatively: things will get worse, or there is danger ahead.

“If I get on Match.com, I will be rejected by all the men I like the most and be hit on by a ton of losers. It’s a waste of time and anyone who says otherwise is selling you something.”

3. Catastrophizing. You believe that what has happened or will happen will be so awful and unbearable that you won’t be able to stand it.

“I can’t be vulnerable and trusting with a man. What if I get hurt again?”

Facts rarely persuade people with strong feelings.

4. Labeling. You assign global negative traits to yourself and others.

“I don’t agree with Evan’s advice on a specific topic, therefore, he’s a misogynist who has no respect for women and probably treats his wife like crap.”

5. Discounting positives. You claim that the positive things you or others do are trivial.

“Yes, he’s been a faithful husband for thirty years, but that pales in comparison to how much it hurt when I learned that he occasionally watched online porn.”

6. Negative filtering. You focus almost exclusively on the negatives and seldom notice the positives.

“Online dating sucks and everyone who dates online is a loser – yes, despite the fact that 50,000,000 Americans have tried it and one third of all marriages start online.”

7. Overgeneralizing. You perceive a global pattern of negatives on the basis of a single incident.

“All men cheat.”

8. Dichotomous thinking. You view events or people in all-or-nothing terms.

That nine-month relationship where I fell in love for the first time in five years was a complete waste of time because it didn’t last.”

9. Blaming. You focus on the other person as the source of your negative feelings, and you refuse to take responsibility for changing yourself.

“Men should not have sex with me if they are not 100% positive they want to marry me. They should let me know up front that they are unsure of our future.” 

10. What if? You keep asking a series of questions about “what if” something happens, and you fail to be satisfied with any of the answers.

“What if I marry him, and one day, in twenty years, the spark is gone?”

11. Emotional reasoning. You let your feelings guide your interpretation of reality.

“He told me that he didn’t want to marry me; therefore, no one will ever want to marry me.” 

12. Inability to disconfirm. You reject any evidence or arguments that might contradict your negative thoughts.

“Evan says that men prefer women who are feminine, optimistic, confident, understanding and self-aware. Since I am not all of those things, he’s telling me that I suck and that I’m doomed to be alone.”

We see a lot of this in the comments section, and let me tell you: it’s tiring, both to let untrue statements like this stand on my website, and to have to defend myself against cognitive distortions that I haven’t written nor thought. Take the last point, for example.

“Evan says that men prefer women who are feminine, optimistic, confident, understanding and self-aware. Since I am not all of those things, he’s telling me that I suck and that I’m doomed to be alone.”

I’ve never said that you suck. I’ve never said that you’re doomed to be alone. I simply pointed out that if you’re pessimistic, insecure and judgmental, you may not be particularly effective in dating. A man with those qualities wouldn’t be very effective either. Thus, you have two choices:

1) Keep acting from a place of fear and insecurity, keep judging men for being different than you, and keep thinking the worst of the opposite sex. Or…

2) Put yourself out there. Understand how men really think. Have fun. Trust. Don’t be too blinded by chemistry. Judge men on how they treat you. Be the benevolent CEO who rewards her committed intern by making him feel 100% appreciated, accepted and admired.

Which option sounds better to you?

Your thoughts – about liberal outrage, political correctness, trigger warnings, and cognitive distortions – are appreciated below.

SHE Confession # 11: Break Etiquette

 I've noticed that sometimes men will take measures to inhibit a woman's emotional response to a breakup which I think is neither appropriate nor fair to the woman. Here's my story, I hope all who have been in this same position will relate and appreciate. I had been dating this guy for about a year and he decided to drop the bomb in the middle of a dinner date at a fine dining restaurant. I quickly realized how he had "choreographed" everything by choosing such a venue so that I would restrain my emotions, and even took additional steps, like picking a table in the middle of the room rather than a more private space. So, I turned the tables on him in a big way. First I ordered the most expensive desserts on the menu, one for each of us. Having a degree in the Theatre Arts, I figured I'd make good use of those skills by staging a dramatic exit complete with a fabricated I exclaimed "I can't believe you've been cheating on me all this time!”  And then I stood up, reached across the table and delivered a hard slap across his face that was heard throughout the room. I had the presence of mind to remove his glasses just before administering the slap so they wouldn't go flying across the room upon impact. (He never did thank me for that) There was complete silence in the immediate aftermath and all you could hear was the sound of my high heels hitting the hardwood floor as I stormed off.  I wonder if he ever ate those desserts I ordered ;-) Stephanie Nguyen

My Boyfriend is Sick of My “Heavy” Conversation.

So, my question is on compatibility. I have been in 4 long-term (multi-year) relationships over the course of my adult life (I am in my early thirties). My current relationship is almost 2 years old. Historically, I have ended all previous relationships for basically the same concern and I’m close to doing the same in my present relationship due to the omnipresent discontent around poor communication and inability to connect through conversation.

My current boyfriend, similar to my previous boyfriends, is a good person: intelligent, kind, emotionally-stable, responsible, attractive, loyal and committed to the relationship, but similarly, we have major difficulties communicating.

My SO has complained that our conversations are ‘too heavy’ (the last boyfriend said this almost verbatim), whereas I feel conversationally starved. I often enjoy theoretical discussions and bouncing abstract ideas off of each other whether in friendships, professional or romantic relationships. I find that my natural style is to go ‘heavy’, while he enjoys reliving past moments and talking about current events. I’m into the ‘why’, while he is into the ‘what’. As an example, we both enjoy reading and I had asked him about a book he was enjoying that I recommended to him ‘if he found it interesting or had any insights to share’ and he became defensive and dismissed me saying “I’m just reading a book”. He later brought this up as an example of the ‘heaviness’ that I bring to conversations that he dislikes.

More and more, I am finding myself feeling alone and resentful, which reminds me of the beginning of the end in my previous relationships. Because I’ve experienced this disconnect multiple times before, which seems to be rooted from the same origin, I am feeling paranoid that I am missing the boat and that there might be something about my communication style I need to reconsider?

This conversational disconnect with my present boyfriend is related to dysfunctional communication in our daily lives. He is extremely defensive and dismissive around the simplest of subjects, while he says that I am too direct and blames it on my delivery. I now find myself always seeking ‘safe topics’ and walking on eggshells. Truth be told, I feel like we can work on our communication, and he is trying as hard as I am, but, again, the real reason that I am writing to you is because I’m more concerned if it’s a true compatibility issue? And why does this keep happening to me where I feel like I’m missing an intellectual/emotional connection, but valuing the other qualities that a man brings to a relationship? I feel like I’m not seeing things clearly and I so wish that I could turn this off as I’ve begun to not trust my judgment or ability to find a healthy, rewarding relationship.

Thank you for taking the time. –Renee

I remember talking to a college buddy at a mutual friend’s wedding who wondered why I couldn’t just “keep it light.”

I remember friends in LA teasing me that I always wanted to have more substantive conversations while we were watching football on Sundays.

I remember once flirting with a woman at a party when my friend came up to us and said, “Has Evan plumbed the depths of your soul yet?”

It’s always a little rough when you feel out of step with those around you. And which gender is the common denominator in our mutual stories? That’s right: men.

So yeah, Renee, I feel you. It’s always a little rough when you feel out of step with those around you. And which gender is the common denominator in our mutual stories? That’s right: men.

(Ah, gender stereotypes…)

Do these men have a semi-reasonable point? Of course, they do. They don’t want to go deep. They don’t need to go deep. It makes them uncomfortable when you go deep.

They’re entitled to that. And you’re entitled to find a boyfriend who isn’t threatened by interesting conversation.

Just know that there are fewer of them.

I never had a hard time finding women to connect with on this level; it probably explains why I do this for a living. By the same token, my wife (and her family) tends to like to keep things light and surface-y. Post-theater criticism usually tends towards, “I liked it a lot” without much reasoning why or debating the morality of the protagonist. And you know what? While it’s not ideal, it’s okay, primarily because my wife doesn’t stop ME from going deep. I can go on a fifteen minute liberal rant and she’ll indulge me without judgment. That’s about all I can ask.

Your guy, on the other hand, is overtly hostile and dismissive of your chosen communication style, and that’s just not acceptable.

Understand, Renee, there are fewer guys out there who enjoy communication like women do. You can hold out for one of them. Or you can choose among the millions of good, traditional, semi-stoic men who don’t like to talk about feelings, dreams or relationships. But at least these guys (like my wife) accept that you do. Your guy, on the other hand, is overtly hostile and dismissive of your chosen communication style, and that’s just not acceptable.

This doesn’t mean you couldn’t theoretically stand to lighten up and cater to your audience a little bit better. But it does mean you should cut your boyfriend loose right now, unless you want to walk on eggshells for the rest of your life.

Is Tinder THAT Bad?

Much has already been written about this viral article from Vanity Fair about the rise of Tinder and the proliferation of hook-up culture. If you don’t have fifteen minutes, you can get the gist of the piece just by reading the subheaders:

“As romance gets swiped from the screen, some twentysomethings aren’t liking what they see.”

“Sex has become so easy.”

“Hit it and quit it.”

“Boom-Boom-Boom. Swipe.”

“Too easy.”

“The Morning After”

“People are gorging.”

The writer, Nancy Jo Sales, offers a sensational and searing look at how Tinder and texting has allowed men to dispense with courtship. For many people – especially millennials – dating is ancient history. Why talk on the phone with a strange woman for an hour and agree to buy her a pricey dinner, when you can text her, have her come over, sleep with her, and not have to commit any time, energy or emotion?

For many people – especially millennials – dating is ancient history.

To me, Tinder is online dating – without the depth. That’s a joke, because online dating is shallow to begin with. But at least there’s a written profile. At least you have to exchange a few emails first. At least there’s something potentially substantive in a written profile. Not so on Tinder, which is, essentially HotOrNot combined with GPS technology. Which is why it doesn’t seem like much of a stretch to suggest that it’s the single greatest contribution to straight hookup culture that we’ve ever seen.

I’m no Pollyanna about hookup culture. I partook in the riches offered to me by Match, Nerve, JDate and so on for nearly 10 years. But I was never a sociopath about it. If you read the Vanity Fair piece, that seems to be what this sort of technology generates – men (and women) who are acting largely without conscience.

Listen, technology doesn’t “make” people act a given way; it only enables it. But that enabling is pretty powerful stuff. Much has been written about how smartphones enable us to be connected all the time – and inadvertently rewire our brains. When I can’t stop scrolling my Facebook newsfeed at 1am, commenting on others’ posts, looking for “likes” on my own, well, it’s clear that something has fundamentally changed – and not necessarily for the better.

Technology doesn’t “make” people act a given way; it only enables it. But that enabling is pretty powerful stuff.

New York Magazine wrote a rebuttal to the Vanity Fair piece, which pointed out that the author was overly reliant on anecdotes as opposed to big data. They say the author was looking for evidence to support her thesis and found it. They say that plenty of people find true love on Tinder. They cite a respected author, Jean Twenge, who reports that millennials are having less sex. And yet…

I’m inclined to side with Sales and Vanity Fair. I feel like New York Magazine – specifically, the author, Jesse Singal, is also caught up in his own confirmation bias. In other words, he doesn’t want to believe that what Sales wrote about Tinder and millennials is true so he nibbles around the edges to try to refute it. The data that Singal is looking for can only be provided by Tinder – asking people to self-report their experience on the site and how many sex partners they’ve had, etc. But reporting that Tinder is not a problem because overall, millennials are having less sex really seems to intentionally miss the point.

If you’re a woman who wants to be courted and wants to save sex for boyfriends instead of strangers, you can do so. It’s just a lot harder on Tinder.

The point is that if you’re a woman who is looking for a real relationship on Tinder, you’d better be prepared to deal with a whole bunch of right-swiping men who have more access to NSA sex than the 80’s bar scene or the 90’s online dating scene ever could have produced. That doesn’t mean that all millennials are partaking; it does mean that those who Tinder for love may have every right to question the effectiveness of the medium.

If you’re a woman who wants to be courted and wants to save sex for boyfriends instead of strangers, you can do so. It’s just a lot harder on Tinder.
