For how long do I need to be DIVORCED?

Recently I had to fill out a medical application that asked if I was SINGLE MARRIED DIVORCED WIDOWED (circle one). I hesitate on these questions because, yes I went through a DIVORCE but I’m not going through it anymore, I was SINGLE prior to being MARRIED. Do I circle all three? Can I just go back to being SINGLE?
If I circle SINGLE does that mean I’ve never been MARRIED? What does that say about me? Why does it matter? Isn’t it odd that in our culture it’s better to be divorced than single when you get to Midlife? Does that mean I’m not too bad, somebody wanted me? Or does that mean I was stupid and made a wrong choice?
What about my friends who are single and have not been married? A guy is a “player” while a girl, well “something’s wrong with her”. Quite frankly, I believe something different. The girl is smart, confident, independent and the guy doesn’t have it all together to maintain a relationship! Don’t you love double-standards!
Not all of us will find that ONE person we want to spend the rest of our lives with, have children and grow old with. That’s okay, attitudes are trying to catch up with the times. We can have friends and family, have children as a single parent and grow old with our friends.
Next time I’m circling SINGLE!
