Hi Meredith,
I have been reading your column since before I moved back to this great city. On to my dilemma/question. I am a 56-year-old twice divorced guy. First marriage was when I was 19 and "did the right thing." Second one lasted 18 yrs until she decided she didn't want to be married anymore. I have been dating someone now for about six months and she recently told me that while she enjoys my company she doesn't see me as marriage material. When I asked her why, she commented that my "track record" makes me a poor candidate for marriage. Meredith, I was a good husband and father for 18 years and I am very much a relationship kinda guy.
Am I going to be blacklisted for life because of two marriages (one of which was at 19) that didn't work??? Is there still hope for someone my age to be able to find someone that can see past my track record?

This is secret code for "she doesn't want to get serious/married." -- nm

If I was dating a 56-year-old who had *never* been married, I'd be far more suspicious.

Dude, it's one woman's opinion...either she's right for reasons you're not offering, or she's wrong and just wants a way out of the current deal.
