But a lot of people who haven't been married don't really "get" that. All kinds of so-called baggage shapes all of us, often for the better! Thanks for sharing. :-) Totally.

"I mean, I want to think at this age I can kindly say “I was married really young and when the two of us grew up it was over.” Without having to worry about appearing as baggage – Why do so many sites and resources try to tell me how to reveal my baggage? I don’t have baggage, I have experience from my marriage like when I finished my masters, bought a house, etc etc – what baggage? Doesn’t everyone from a long term relationship have the same baggage? Wouldn’t most people have a long term relationship under their belt by my age?"

Had you been in your 30s and as yet not married once, you would've found that "divorced" would be viewed more favorably than never married and female and in your 30s. There are all manner of judgments, most of which we learn to toss aside as we get a bit older. If we're smart enough to take the time to know <i>an individual</i>, rather than a label, which captures little of the real experience of a person's life. Just discovered your blog. Good stuff.

And then I met John. So I understand about being young and judgmental. I used to have “divorced” as a deal breaker. And then I met John. So I understand about being young and judgmental.

I forgot about that. Yes, folks; I once dated a guy who thought, philosophically, that it would be a fun idea to rob a bank. Luckily, he didn't think it would be a good idea logistically.
