I think the maturity level, at a different stage in our lives thing would be a factor. There's so mauch that goes into that. Just my two cents.<br /><br />Same goes for multiple marriages or children from different women. I think those things are red flags. I'm not saying I would never date a man with a child or has been married before - but the further you get into extremes, the more troublesome it would be - and not worth it. <br /><br />Of all the things listed in Brooke's blog, I think occupation (assuming he has a LEGAL one) is about the only thing that wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.Ms. Pennnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-54591786564395935792011-05-24T17:17:44.618-04:002011-05-24T17:17:44.618-04:00@Cable Guy,

At different stages in a persons life their values, interests and beliefs change.......so while her being 11 years younger didnt matter when we were first married we've found that sometimes her Beyonce clashes with my Coltrane and having our kids Christened mattered a lot more to her than it did to me and beans and rice are not the preferred meal at dinner every night!
