How many times have you been married?

Ooh I’ve thought of another example.
My grandad died in his 50s. My Grandma had a live in gentleman companion (as she called him) for about 15 years when I was growing up. He died as well.
Grandma found a third partner (her new gentleman companion) her 70s and was very happy until her death.

Twice divorced, two children, both from second marriage.

Been single for 14 years and have never been happier 😍

Once. Been with my husband over 20 years. If we split i’d remain single. Not keen on dealing with a blended family situation or parenting someone elses kids / trusting someone with mine so until they are older i’d happily be single.
in 20 years if i feel like it i would maybe want some company so never say never but in the near future if it happened i would 100% be single and focus on my kids. No more kids either as i’m now in my 40s

Never married. Never engaged.

Co-habited once, for 1 year of a 2.5 year relationship.

Now single.

Very happy with my life.

One long term relationship and four children. Together about 14 years. Now split for 13 years and never had another long term relationship.

Never married, no kids. Feel good, feel happy. Have dog not lonely.
Look and feel at least 10 years younger than my age.
gone through menopause don’t miss sex.

I’ve only ever been in 1 relationship. We married when I was 18 and are are still happily married and I’m 42.

However, in what will be more relevant to your question. I don’t know anyone else my age who is on their first marriage. Not all of them are in happy long term relationships/marriages right now, some are twice divorced, most of them are happy.

My sister is twice divorced with 2 children from each marriage. She didn't marry again but has had LTRs since. No more kids.

My brother never married but has been in several LTRs and has 4 children from 3 cohabiting partners - the 3rd he is still with.

Once.
Happily married, but fucking hell, never more 😁
Nothing equals singledom.

Never married but cohabited with father of my children. Split some time ago and have remained very happily single since. I don’t ever see marriage in my future.

That's an interesting thought. Even though I have to disagree, I don't feel I have had that kind of romantic relationship.
However, I do feel I have a soul mate, but I don't believe that soul mates are necessarily romantic, mine certainly isn't.

So, I think I agree, just disagree that your great love must be romantic. (If that's what you believe)

0 and don’t expect I ever will

Cohabited twice. Never married. 3 kids.

I am single, have been for many years and I'm still under 40. I CBA with men, they're all the same and bore me.

I fill my life with my wonderful family and friends, hobbies and studying.

Happier than I have ever been, cannot imagine every living with a man again. Could just do with a man to have sex with, but see previous comment 😆

Only dh, cohabited at 18, married him ten years later and still together.

This is my first marriage, got married when I was 53.
I'd had several relationships previously and lived with 3 men. Had a child when I was 19.

Married 3 times.
Left first H - he drank & became violent. Had 3 DC with him, now in late 30s.

Second H left me for OW. Have DD, 16, with him.

3rd DH & I have been together over 7 years, met when I was 49. Married in June 22. He is amazing. How I ever thought the other 2 were OK I'll never know. My now DH is my soul mate & best friend. He was divorced, then widowed. His DS is from his 2nd marriage so lives with us.

Twice married, one child with my current husband.

Considering divorce and wondering the likelihood of a happy ever after.

Not sure I would get married for a third time though. Financially probably not in my interests to.

Once and that was enough. Been on my own for 7 years I kind of like my own company.

I always think I'd like to share my life with someone again but they'd have to be really special.

I also need to actually get divorced but I don't know where he is now.

I should have said:

We met when I was 17 and he was 21

Married when I was 19

3 adult children

I would not find anyone else if he dies before me, never

Ive never been married never want to either.
Never had kids.
The above is to nuch drama to have in my life.
I have been single 10 years and love it i can sleep with who i want without drama or strings attached.
Do what i want when i want and i love my own space.

Married once, met him at 20, still together, 31 years later, 2 kids, still laughing every day, still having regular sex, still enjoying each others company.

One

In fact it is our 35 anniversary tomorrow

Twice, been widowed twice by 52. Live with lovely DP now. Unlikely to marry again.

Married twice, divorced twice & now with lovely DP of nearly 4 years.
First marriage ended after 15 months in my early 20s due to DV.
Second marriage ended after 11 years when I was 41 due to him not wanting to be with me!
DP and I don't live together as we both have kids ( I have 1 teenage DD from marriage 2)
Finally feel totally at peace in my relationship. It's a good feeling 💚

Twice married.
Now in a long term living apart relationship and intend to love together within the next couple of years.
