How many times would you consider getting married?

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.

Well I’m still waiting for the first one! I’ve always wanted to get married but I’m 51 and never had the opportunity.

If it was like the old days where you had to marry every man you lived with or had a baby with I'd be on husband number 3 now.

It’s our second marriage for both dh and I. We are very happy.
If anything happened to dh then I don’t think I’d marry or even live with another man.
I absolutely would not have had children to more than one man under any circumstances. I’m very grateful my ex h never had any more children either. I think that’s more of an issue than being married twice.

Agree. It’s the kids that complicate things not the legal arrangement of a marriage.

Never
I don't see the point in it I'm independent in my own right I don't need anyone owning me or anyone else's name!

I'm not sure there is. Would depend on why previous marriages had ended, very different if death or being deserted for example.
