Divorced or Single?

I was recently reading a debate about whether to refer to yourself as single or divorced once the divorce has gone through.

Is it a stigma to be divorced nowdays? I don't think so.

Does calling yourself divorced say to the world 'My marriage failed' or does it say 'I wasn't left on the shelf - somebody wanted me'? Alternatively does saying you are single imply that you have never been married - that you have never found anyone who wants to marry you or that you have never found anyone that you want to marry? Are you fussy or unloveable?

I would say - does it matter what everyone else thinks as long as you are comfortable with who and what you are?
