To many, the answer is clear: Donald J. Trump.

CSUSB professor discusses dating after a divorce for people in their 30sMyDomaineSept. 24, 2018Dating is always tricky, period. It was overwhelming in high school, complex in college, and even more complicated as an adult—and that’s if you’ve never been married before. If you’re a 30-something navigating dating after a divorce, then meeting someone new can come with an entirely different layer of challenges.“The average age for first-time marriage in the U.S. is 27 for women and 29 for men, so people can stigmatize someone for being in their 30s and already divorced,” says Kelly Campbell, a psychology professor at California State University, San Bernardino. “This stigma could cause a person to wonder whether there is something wrong with them for having divorced at a young age, and their self-esteem could suffer.”The lifestyle website asked Campbell to describe the mindset and approach for divorced people in their 30s when they decide to date again.Read the complete article at “Dating after a divorce in your 30s is easier if you follow these 4 expert tips.”
