Listen, I think you're being ripped apart in the comments by people who are quick to rush to judgement. I don't know anything about you, and a few paragraphs isn't really enough for us to psychoanalyze you.
I'm going to go against the grain because I understand what you mean. I've dated many different girls from different backgrounds and socioeconomic situations. One thing I've personally found is that I've enjoyed something about other partners who've also had divorced parents. There's a certain something to them. They seem to understand me better at times. They take themselves less seriously, and they also seem to have a darker sense of humour, much like myself.
I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with liking someone with a traumatic history or a similar history to yours. But I think it would be weird if you fetishized people like this, and only wanted to date people who are hurting. That's where I think the line should be drawn, myself. If it's not coming from an “I can save them” place, or a “This person will do whatever I say” attitude, then I don't see anything wrong with connecting with a person who's had some real life experience. Best of luck to you!
First, Tony is a doormat.
“I didn't go because i never got invited”
Second, you're saying your friend group is still involved with Mary and the cheatee?
If that's the case…maybe re-evaluate your friends
Stay off social media for awhile. Do not communicate with him. Do not discuss him with your friends. Move on.
