Most of the adult population in the US has HPV. Doctors won't even give you the vaccine as an adult, since they assume you already have it. I don't know if I have it, but that wouldn't be a dealbreaker if I liked a girl who had it. Most people who carry the virus never develop symptoms.
I can't see myself dating women with kids either. I don't mind if they've been married, though. I'm divorced myself. Sometimes what you thought was a lifetime commitment doesn't work out that way. I don't think I'll get married again. Getting the government involved in my personal relationships seems like a bad idea, especially since I don't want kids.
YES! and it sucks with kids! I have 2 that I never see.
Divorce is much less painful without kids. Anyways,
this was a great post! So much to learn.
