Why don’t divorced people just label themselves as single instead of as divorced?

CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS
If I were to get divorced, I wouldn’t label myself as divorced but as single because I wouldn’t want my ex wife wandering around my status or life anymore. A divorced person is the same as a single person. For me, it just takes away interest a bit because you wonder… who was at fault? Is she difficult to live around and that’s why she got divorced? What happened in the marriage? Amber heard?

Swiping on tinder and see the statuses of divorced pop up every now and then
