How many times would you consider getting married?

[sunbathetilmorningtime]

Is there a line you’d draw? Like if your second marriage failed would you just think fuck it or would you actually consider having a third marriage?

My grandma was married once, when they broke up she said she’d never get married again and she didn’t. She still had another parent and had more children.

He sounds like an absolute bastard, you're well shot of him. I hope your son is doing well.

I am married and I would never even consider living with or marrying another man if my husband left me or passed away. I probably wouldn't even want to bother with dating. We've been together for 30 years and I read the relationships board with absolute horror. I got a good one and I doubt I'd be so lucky twice

If my current (first/only) marriage went tits-up, I wouldn’t do it again.

When we got married we were both broke and anything we have now, we built together. I wouldn’t enter into another relationship ship where a man had claim to my assets.

My SIL is on her second marriage. Her husband is quite a knob but she’s afraid of being divorced twice. Horrible situation to be in.

Depends on the circumstances I suppose. If my husband (he's my first) dropped down dead tomorrow, I'm not yet 40, I can't imagine I would stay alone for the rest of my life... so I think in that circumstance I would marry again if I met the right man. But if he left me I might feel very bitter towards marriage and not want to ever go through it again. So it's hard to say. My gut instinct is twice is probably my limit, but never say never.

I'm on my first marriage. I don't know, surely it depends on the reason, whether you were divorced or widowed. If this marriage failed, I maybe would consider getting married again. But I can see how someone may get married for a third time if they were widowed.

Once. I would never get married again if DH and I separated. I don’t think I would even live with someone else again.

Once (abusive marriage). Vowed I would never marry again, and haven't. In a long-term relationship now (27 yrs). I too would never cohabit again if God forbid DP pre-deceases me. Too painful to try to build anything new, could never be the same. Besides no-one would want me and my ill health!

I wouldn't remarry now. I've been with DH for 23 years and we have a DD. If our marriage broke down or I was widowed then I would want to keep my finances legally separated to protect DD.

You can still do that and marry.

I said once but am now on a second marriage. I don't think I would if he died but 🤔

It’s my DH second marriage
my first marriage ,we have been married 24 years
if anything happened to him I would not get married again I don't think anyone could fit in his boots

Currently on number 2. Wouldn't do it again though. Didn't think I'd ever do it more than once but it was more about the person I was marrying and what it meant.

I’m happily married but if it ended I think I’d do it again. I’m not sure after that. I guess you don’t know till you’re there. I know someone who’s been married 5x and just refers to the weddings as parties. I doubt I’d do it that many times but who knows.

I'm due to marry for the second time in a few weeks. It's his first marriage. If this was to end then I would call it quits but I sincerely hope it doesn't because I love the bones of him.

I'm on my third.
Not how I planned my life to work out, but we're happy, and I genuinely couldn't give a toss what others think

Not with certainty. Even pre-nupts aren’t cast iron.

Was I unusual that my marriage vows were 'until death we do part'? So being widowed is the only way I could consider being married again.

You know I don’t think I’d have another but I think that’s because I’m worried what people would think. If something terrible happened to my husband I would consider another especially if there were more children involved, but I think it would be a a very different thing. We’d probably elope or something. I know some people love the big do and would do it multiple times, but I’d feel a bit embarrassed! not saying that I should.

God never. There’s not a chance in hell I’d risk splitting my wealth and properties for anyone. I’m incredibly selfish and want to preserve my money for my daughter!

I wouldn’t do it more than once I think. I didn’t get married until quite late on anyway. I couldn’t be arsed to do it again.

My parents are both twice divorced. My aunt is on her second marriage and so was my grandmother. Everyone in my family is divorced at least once apart from me so far. The odds aren’t great! So perhaps I’d feel
differently.

One of my loveliest friends is on her third but her first wasn’t a happy marriage and her second husband was lovely but died young and suddenly. Her third was meant to be.

I like to take the Murdoch view.

I’m 18 years in to my first, if we ended I’m fairly sure I wouldn’t get married again. I think the only exception maybe if I was widowed, but even then I’m not convinced.

I know someone who married her high school boyfriend aged 18 and they broke up a year later (unsurprisingly!) she then married a boyfriend she had been with for years and had a child with but he was basically abusive. So glad that’s over. She’s only 30 and engaged again and tbh he’s actually the nicest guy and been her friend for years. So in her situation I totally would.

Once. Been married nearly 14 years, if anything happens further down the line I won't remarry. I'm happy though so would need to be some catastrophic to put me in that position.

They will be upheld by a court if they qualify as meeting the criteria of both parties being consulted, agreed etc. You can't get one now without that.
