Dating a Divorcee

Hey, not sure if my titles the best but wanted to see how others feel / felt when they dated someone whom had previously been married.

We're in our 40's so it goes without saying people have a past... I've never been married and I'm having a hard time to think my current partner shared that special time with someone else. Telling them they were their best friend, marriage vows, love of their life ect and can now say these things to someone else (me). Not vows but he has said he sees us getting married and wants to spend the rest of his life with me ect ect.... we've been together 2 years and to be honest it puts me off marrying someone that's already done it.

So any words of wisdom to others that have been married. Do you honestly go and find someone whom you genuinely love more and want to do it all again with?

Not all of us divorcees were ever truly happy. Some of us made mistakes. But next time I'd get married for the right reasons. So of course, I am looking for someone that I love more and I'd happily get married again.
Surely you've really liked/loved people before...that you no longer like or love? It's not really any different.

Yeah I've been in love, just not been married and expected to live my life with that person to then go and divorce and find someone else to do it with all over again....
