Is Being Divorced A Red Flag? Let’s Talk About It Honestly
On WomansDailyNeeds.com, we’re not here to sugarcoat anything—we’re here to empower, inform, and wake women up to the truth behind modern dating. So let’s get into a topic that raises a lot of questions: Is being divorced a red flag?
Short answer: It can be.
Long answer? Keep reading.
🚩 When Divorce Is a Red Flag
Divorce in itself isn’t evil—but the reason behind it can say a lot about a person’s mindset, values, and readiness for real love. Here are common justifications for divorce that actually raise red flags:
- “We just grew apart.” We all grow. If you couldn’t grow together, that signals emotional disconnection—not evolution.
- “We had differences.” And you didn’t talk about those before marriage? That tells me you lacked true communication.
- “I didn’t know the person well.” Then why get married? That screams lust or desperation, not love.
- They blame everything on their ex. No accountability = no growth.
- They remarried quickly. If someone jumps from one relationship to another with no healing, they’re avoiding themselves, not building something real.
- They’ve been married multiple times. One divorce? Maybe. Two, three, or more? Now we’re talking commitment issues and a pattern of avoidance.
Let’s be honest—the only justifiable reasons for divorce should be cheating or abuse. Anything else? That likely comes down to a lack of maturity, emotional depth, or intention.
💚 Green Flags in a Divorced Person
Now let’s not throw the whole person away. Divorce isn’t always the enemy—it’s the lesson that matters.
Here are signs that someone is emotionally evolved after divorce:
- ✅ They take full accountability for their role in the failure.
- ✅ They’ve had a significant period of growth and reflection post-divorce.
- ✅ They’re honest about what went wrong without bashing their ex.
- ✅ They’ve redefined what love, communication, and partnership mean to them.
- ✅ They’re not desperate to remarry—they’re committed to building something real this time.
Green flags come down to emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and growth—not just a clean relationship record.
🌍 The Pressure to Marry is Real—And It’s Ruining Relationships
Let’s talk about something people pretend doesn’t exist: performative marriages. These are marriages built not on love, but on pressure, image, or expectation.
And to be honest, this happens even with people who “teach” relationships.
Take celebrities or even religious influencers—they marry early, or marry fast, to satisfy family, fame, followers, or religious image. Later, when things fall apart, they cite vague differences or simply “changing.” No surprise there.
👀 The Matthew Hussey Example
If you take a close look at Matthew Hussey, a well-known dating coach, you’ll notice major shifts since his marriage to Audrey.
- His once blunt and emotionally sharp delivery? Softer. Filtered.
- His style changed.
- He lost a lot of weight.
- He seems less confident.
- Even fans have noticed how stressed or tense he seems in his recent videos.
Is this what real love looks like? Or is it the pressure of image and maintaining a brand?

💍 Why I’ve Never Been Married (And Why I’m Okay With That)
So yes, I’ve never been married. And I’m proud of that.
Because when I do marry, it will be for love. For a partnership built on growth, depth, values, and spiritual connection.
Not to keep up with friends.
Not for family pressure.
Not because I “should.”
Marriage is not a game. It’s a covenant. And I will never settle.
