If you are remarried, how did you meet your current dh?

[BaskingMad]

Another thread about how shit online dating is spurred this. Not aibu but this gets most traffic so...
If you divorced and happily remarried, how did you meet your current dh? Did you know each other beforehand? Through work? Online?
Please share your story, i’m divorcing and the future seems bleak, hope i can find there is hope in the end!

Not married again yet but engaged with a child together, we met on tinder.

Both on 2nd marriage. We met through work. Both our spouses had affairs and then we ended up going for coffee one day, then a drink, and now we are married with loads of children

I'm divorced and happily remarried. We met on match.com when it was so new it was free and there were no pictures. I more or less asked him out and we had sex on our first date. Believe it or not, we've been happily married for 23 years with two great kids, both in uni now. He's the best person I know, and yes, I was a bit forward about it all.

She who dares wins.

Keep them coming, it gives me hope!:)

Following for hopeful stories 😃
I’m in the same position as you @BaskingMad.

Through work, we’d been distant colleagues for a couple of years then one Christmas do he clocked me behaving not quite myself and took me to one side to check I was ok. I wasn’t, I was in the early stages of separation.... when I was ready he was my first (and last) date. I love the bones of him.

I met my husband on MySpace. We were both midway through divorcing. We have now been together 14 years, married for 11 with an 8 year old dd.

I am so longing for something better, a human connection, but also scared if perhaps this loveless marriage i’m in is the best i can hope for and am about to throw away.
Love your stories, there has to be something better in life than this otherwise what’s the point.

My husband is remarried to me.... and we met on Tinder!

He used to be a client at my work and was invited on an office night out and it went from there!

Met dh in a bar. Turned out he lived a few streets away!! I was 42, he was 31. I had dc and was divorced. He was single, never married, no dc.
Nearly 8 years ago, married 5 with a dc..

I wasn't married before but had two kids with an absolute wanker, but now married to my dream and best friend - we met in a tattoo shop initially! I tracked him down on Facebook and added him, he then messaged me and it went from there. Nearly 5 years on and I am so happy do it!!

Online dating.

Got chatting on a Wednesday, had our first date on the Friday and then I moved in with him about 4 months later.

We’ve now been together for over 10 years (married for seven) and have two wonderful sons.

Ignore my post - I completely misread your post and thought you were just looking for “how did you meet your husband” stories

He is the brother of a good friend.
I had known him for a few years, always seemed like a good decent guy- I was married and he was living with a woman- we would bump into each other socially once in a while.
Then it happened we were both single... 2 kids and 20 years later we are still happily together.
Also to add I was 35 and he was 38 before we got together- neither any kids, but they came along very quickly!

I was divorced with two kids at 36. Met my incredible dh two years later online. If it wasn’t for that our paths wouldn’t have crossed as we lived far apart. Strangely enough, our grandma’s had lived in the same road so we must have played in the same park when young.

I kept an open mind yet wasn’t willing to compromise on what was important to me.

Lovely stories giving me a tiny bit of hope.

Bumping up. Thank you guys, you give me hope

I'm engaged and will be marrying someone I met on plenty of fish.

I wasted years in a failing marriage. I was 32 when we eventually divorced and never thought I'd find anyone else. Don't settle for less than you deserve and don't give anyone headspace if they're not making you happy. I made that mistake a few times before meeting the right person.

My husband is remarried to me

Same here. We met at work.

This is timely for me as in the same boat. Late 30s 3 young kids and getting divorced. I don't feel much is in my favour apart from a pretty well off but don't want a cock-lodging gold digger!

Good to get hope OLD is not a complete waste of time, all you hear is the horror stories about the sleaze bags, dick pics, ghosting, shelving etc.

We met at work. I was 2 years on from a messy divorce and loving the freedom. I wasn't looking for anyone, but we became good friends and then it grew from there. Sort of crept up on us really, but it's 10 years on now and it is so lovely to be married to someone who actually cares about me. Don't give up hope - there are decent men out there. Definitely learn to refuse anything less than what you are worth. Mutual respect is my number one requirement now - without that any relationship is not worth it.

Dh 2 was a mutual friend of dh1 and I. When dh1 went off with OW and we divorced dh2 proposed some months later. Dh2 died after16 years and I eventually married dh3 who had been a colleague of dh2.
Ironically all 3 had been at the same university doing the same subject though not at the same time.

In a night club, in a complete state. Me and my dh broke up 8 weeks previous when he unexpectedly told me he no longer loved me. I was in a rebellious state, intent on just having fun. We got chatting at the bar. He was definitely not my type but he was really chatty. I didn’t get his name and thought nothing of it. 2 weeks later I was in the same club. I heard him chatting behind me, recognised his voice and we chatted further. He asked me out but I wasn’t interested. We became friends and relationship was completely platonic for 6 months. One day something just clicked that it could work as a relationship and I took a gamble. Fast forward 19 years we are still together with 4 children!

Currently finalising divorce. Just coming up to the one year mark of ending the marriage. Had a bit of fun screwing around and had just got to the point when I thought "it might be nice to have a relationship now" when I met someone in Bumble who had turned out to be the most wonderful boyfriend and no, we're not married or engaged, we've been dating 7 months, but i know I felt hopeless that in my late thirties with two kids, one of whom was SEN, that anyone would want me. Turns out there was someone wonderful and u have had the most amazing time getting to know him and establishing a new relationship. It has healed a lot of hurts and shown me that there are good men out there. I'm optimistic for my future, even if this relationship doesn't turn out to be forever, because if I could find love again once, I can find it again again if I need to.
Chin up. There is life after divorce.
