How many times have you been married?

[Unknown1111]

Married or cohabiting.

I am separating from my second husband and now have 3 children from 2 men. No intention of going near another man right now but wondering do people in similar situations find their happy after?

Yes I can. It is within my power to decide to remain single.

And, to be clear, it's not because I'm a romantic and a believer in 'the one' and incapable of imagining ever being with anyone in the world apart from dh. It's because I find the idea of embarking on another long-term relationship totally and utterly unappealing in every way!

Married once, if we did split I wouldn't bother again. I did very well being single and living on my own, so that doesn't bother me.

I have been married over 25 years with DC from that marriage, and if I split I wouldnt marry again. I am not keen on stepparenting and would do badly in a blended family situation.

Once , divorced. Been with someone 15+ years , we keep talking about making it official but I'd be his No.3 and the that puts me off a little.

Twice.

My first marriage ended when I was 26 and came home from work to find my husband dead in the bedroom.

The second one, we didn't really feel the need to get married for a long while so we were together over 10 years before we went ahead and did so quietly with no fuss.

Twice married.
Now in a long term living apart relationship and intend to love together within the next couple of years.

Married twice, divorced twice & now with lovely DP of nearly 4 years.
First marriage ended after 15 months in my early 20s due to DV.
Second marriage ended after 11 years when I was 41 due to him not wanting to be with me!
DP and I don't live together as we both have kids ( I have 1 teenage DD from marriage 2)
Finally feel totally at peace in my relationship. It's a good feeling 💚

Twice, been widowed twice by 52. Live with lovely DP now. Unlikely to marry again.

One

In fact it is our 35 anniversary tomorrow

Married once, met him at 20, still together, 31 years later, 2 kids, still laughing every day, still having regular sex, still enjoying each others company.

Ive never been married never want to either.
Never had kids.
The above is to nuch drama to have in my life.
I have been single 10 years and love it i can sleep with who i want without drama or strings attached.
Do what i want when i want and i love my own space.

I should have said:

We met when I was 17 and he was 21

Married when I was 19

3 adult children

I would not find anyone else if he dies before me, never

Once and that was enough. Been on my own for 7 years I kind of like my own company.

I always think I'd like to share my life with someone again but they'd have to be really special.

I also need to actually get divorced but I don't know where he is now.

Twice married, one child with my current husband.

Considering divorce and wondering the likelihood of a happy ever after.

Not sure I would get married for a third time though. Financially probably not in my interests to.

Married 3 times.
Left first H - he drank & became violent. Had 3 DC with him, now in late 30s.

Second H left me for OW. Have DD, 16, with him.

3rd DH & I have been together over 7 years, met when I was 49. Married in June 22. He is amazing. How I ever thought the other 2 were OK I'll never know. My now DH is my soul mate & best friend. He was divorced, then widowed. His DS is from his 2nd marriage so lives with us.

This is my first marriage, got married when I was 53.
I'd had several relationships previously and lived with 3 men. Had a child when I was 19.

Only dh, cohabited at 18, married him ten years later and still together.

Cohabited twice. Never married. 3 kids.

I am single, have been for many years and I'm still under 40. I CBA with men, they're all the same and bore me.

I fill my life with my wonderful family and friends, hobbies and studying.

Happier than I have ever been, cannot imagine every living with a man again. Could just do with a man to have sex with, but see previous comment 😆

0 and don’t expect I ever will

That's an interesting thought. Even though I have to disagree, I don't feel I have had that kind of romantic relationship.
However, I do feel I have a soul mate, but I don't believe that soul mates are necessarily romantic, mine certainly isn't.

So, I think I agree, just disagree that your great love must be romantic. (If that's what you believe)

Never married but cohabited with father of my children. Split some time ago and have remained very happily single since. I don’t ever see marriage in my future.

Once.
Happily married, but fucking hell, never more 😁
Nothing equals singledom.

My sister is twice divorced with 2 children from each marriage. She didn't marry again but has had LTRs since. No more kids.

My brother never married but has been in several LTRs and has 4 children from 3 cohabiting partners - the 3rd he is still with.

I’ve only ever been in 1 relationship. We married when I was 18 and are are still happily married and I’m 42.

However, in what will be more relevant to your question. I don’t know anyone else my age who is on their first marriage. Not all of them are in happy long term relationships/marriages right now, some are twice divorced, most of them are happy.
