To think marrying someone who has already been married and divorced 3 times is a very, very bad idea

I saw that Earl Spencer was on the front pages of some of the papers today for marrying a 4th wife.

AIBU to think that it is probably very unwise to marry someone who has already been married and divorced 3 times? Just that. Not even thinking about all the other stories that whirl around this particular individual but just the very fact that if you have been married and divorced 3 times that seems like a giant whale sized red flag to me.

Maybe I'm missing the romance of it all - or maybe not!

‘So what was it that first attracted you to the wealthy and titled Charles Spencer..?’

He has money - rich men wll always find a replacememt.

Maybe she likes the lifestyle he provides, and even if it doesn’t last she’ll probably get a nice pay out.

Yes, I know I sound very cynical.
