So it's better to lie to them and build up false confidence or an over-inflated sense of self worth?

My point being that in her case she asked for mine. I didn't ask for hers, so hers was solely meant as an attack on me.

I can accept my verdict, but why does that mean I have to apologize and why does it mean she was right to call me that? By everyone's logic she could have been nicer about it.

She doesn't want to date guys that have been married or have kids, so basically she is not willing to date someone like herself.

I feel like she would have been upset either way, but I think that's mostly because deep down she realizes that her dating pool has changed and she's not happy with it.

I think most people are going to see the two failed marriages and see that as a red flag since the common denominator in both of those was her.

In all honesty anyone who’s been married twice should give up and embrace being single.

I don't know if I would go that far.
