Good morning Nairalanders,

There is a girl I admired a couple of years ago but I could not carry on with her because I was a lecturer in a different department and I believe it is unethical/unprofessional for me to date a student in my faculty. I saw her briefly twice during her NYSC but I didn't proceed because I was preparing to leave Nigeria. Recently, we reconnected and are getting along well. Last night, I asked my friend in the department she graduated from about her and he said she is a good girl but her parents are divorced. I have not asked about this.

Please can this be an issue if I eventually marry her?

Thank you.

Personally,its not an issue. It may even help her to learn from her parents mistakes and make her marriage a success.

Most pple don't see it as a very good idea, but I have seen couples rom broken homes thriving in their marriages cod most of them have resolved not to toe their parents line

Thank you so much. You have some points there.

It is not at all. Except you want to make an issue out of it.

Trust me people will easily dismiss it as not an issue.

Some of the traits that caused the separation may be hidden somewhere. If it's not purged, you'll have to contend with it in future.

If you like be scientific about it, you'll just be deceiving yourself.

Different strokes for different folks

Her personality is what you should try to study/understand. That a child was raised by both parents is not even a yardstick for a successful marriage when he/she eventually decides to settle down. Each to his own. Understand your woman and you'll get your answer(s). All the best.

It can be an issue ooo. Cos sometimes it's inheritable from parents too....one as to be careful..
