Married at 18 widowed at 36 remarried at 39 rewidowed at 57, no intention of trying a third time.

I'm really sorry to read this. Life can be cruel at times. I hope you're doing ok. I have also been married twice and can't imagine going for a third but I never say never I suppose!

Married at 25, separated at 33. I'm 35 soon and we'll probably be divorced in the next year or so. 2 kids. Have no intention of getting married again or having more children.

Married at 26, lots of children, pulled marriage back from the brink a couple of times, divorced at 41. Remarried at 44, no more children although I acquired some stepchildren, second marriage has almost outlasted first marriage and is much better.

I didn't expect to be remarried so quickly, but I liked being part of a couple and was open to being a step parent (subject to my own children's approval) and DH was too, and we just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Married at 20, divorced at 30. Married at 42, divorced at 52.
3 kids, now adults. Won't bother again- both husbands cheated

Married at 29 and divorced at 38 - absolutely wonderful, kind and lovely man but just became totally platonic. No kids and still good friends 6yrs later.

Married again at 40, 2 gorgeous children. So happy and incredibly lucky.

LondonWolf · 06/07/2022 20:55

Twice, two divorces by age 40. I won't be bothering again.

Married at 24, 3DC (eldest born before we got married), divorced at 31. Will marry DP at some point, have DC and DSC and will prob have another together at some stage. If it doesn’t work out with DP then absolutely no way I’d get married again.

Married at 25, not a great marriage, separated at 52.

Married again at 57, widowed 8 months later at 58.

JaneyHenderson · 06/07/2022 21:17

Married 30, 2 DC divorced 39. Married DH at 42 still married at 45 and totally blissful. No DC together but gained a lovely DSS.

First marriage was dead in the water after second DC and exDH's drink driving conviction. But had a 2 year old and a 4 month old so stayed. Took me 5 years to leave. Ex DH had a massive stroke 3 months ago due to alcohol. So glad I got out when I did.
I was already good friends with DH- we both got divorced in the same year and it just fell into place. I had loved him in secret for yonks! ❤️❤️

Pottedpalm · 06/07/2022 21:20

Married at 23. Still married over 40 years later. DTs.

TitInATrance · 06/07/2022 21:22

Divorced, then widowed with children, then divorced. Never again!

PotatoFamily · 06/07/2022 21:22

Got together at 19, married at 25 and split at 32. Took until I was 38 to get divorced. 3 children.
I met my second husband when I was 35, got married again at age 39. We are exceptionally happy still 4 years later.

Oblomov22 · 06/07/2022 21:26

Married for the first time at 21, divorced at 24 - he turned out to be abusive. Remarried at 26 to the love of my life. We have three children and have just celebrated our 33rd anniversary.

Married at 18, divorced by 21; remarried at 25, we separated when I was 31 but the actual divorce took a few more years. I had a dc to each of them, plus one other dc. Haven’t dated since I split from husband no. 2 (8 years ago).
