How many times have you been married?

[amimadd]

Never thought I would be getting divorced for a 2nd time as I was in 2 minds about marriage a second time, but I wanted the happy ever after (married both my kids dads) and thought it would work out (as you do) I'm only late 30s and feeling there might be a stigma surrounding being twice married/divorced at a young age.
Thinking never again now..

Twice; 18 years first time, 11 so far this time. I'm DH's 4th and final wife!

Twice. Once at the age of 23 after 4 years together; we had 5 years or so then he sodded off.

I remarried this year to a much better person, at the age of 32. We've been together a few years, and this one I can see spanning decades (I'm not stifled or controlled).

It doesn't bother me about two marriages at such a 'young' age; I count the divorce as my exH's problem. It says a lot more about him and his level of fidelity and adherence to vows than about me!

Never married. And I'll be 50 in two weeks ;)

Once. 29 years this year. Was only 24, ridiculously young. Very happy though.

Once, still married, over twenty years

I know a guy who is on his fourth marriage: first two were to the same woman (yes, you read that right), the third lasted less than 6 months, and he recently wed for the fourth time.

Once, been divorced for 12 years. Can't decide if marrying him or divorcing him was the bigger mistake!!

I'm very disappointed by the number of people on this thread who have only been married a 'normal' number of times, which I consider to be 0, 1 and 2. (I've also only been married once and wouldn't bother to do it again). I know someone who is on wife number 3 and he's not even 40. I reckon I've worked out who wife number 4 is going to be as he has a completely predictable pattern. I wonder what his poor parents must have thought at wedding number 3 .. will this ever bloody end?

Once at 21, divorced by 25.
Lived together with ex-p and near,y got married, escaped by the skin of my teeth 3 years ago.

Currently v happy with dp but no interest in marriage.

Once. I doubt I'd get married again if DH and I split.

Once. I wouldn't do it again! It's a ridiculous concept I think.

Once- got married at 19, still together, i'm now 46

Agree with earthbound once married stupid concept...once divorced now happily cohabiting with dc father relationship 9 years last month

Twice. I'm 36. My second marriage is going very well so I'm pretty confident this time around although I was apprehensive about taking the plunge again. My first marriage wasn't that long ago (got married in 2010) but was very short and so feels like a weird dream or something. We had no kids so very clean break and NC since. I would feel awful if I got divorced again and think there is unfortunately a bit of a stigma.

First at 20, divorced at 30. Doing it again this year at 41.

Once, married at 37, nearly 12 years ago. I'm dh's second wife.

Quite embarrassed to admit this, it feels like it all happened to someone else. Met at 16, married at 23, divorced at 25. Bastard had been having a 12mth affair. Thankfully no dc with him. Been with my dp 10 years, no plans to marry though, we're good as we are.

47. Twice.

Married my first husband at 22, divorced him at 30.

Met 2nd H at 35, married him at 37- and now we're separating.

I can't see myself doing it again; in fact, I can't even see myself living with another man again. But hey- I'm not clairvoyant, so who knows?

Incidentally, my mother was married twice and divorced twice, and so was my sister. Perhaps the females in my family just aren't good at marriage...

Never been married, engaged but not in a rush to marry. Close relative of mine is on their 5th marriage!

Together since 1992 Married in 1997, had three children, widowed in 2008.
I don't want to marry again, I know too many people from my widow group who have been widowed twice.
Seriously, Anyone who isn't married please please ensure you have a will in place, if we weren't married MIL would have been next of kin and would've happily seen us sleeping on a park bench.

Once. Married my childhood sweetheart and been together 20 years this year. We're 34.

Once, met dh when we were at Uni, ... 3dcs ( 3 mc as well) celebrating 29th anniversary this year ..... Gone through some really tough times though, but he really is my best friend

Once, aged 37, DH was 48 and everyone assumed he had been married before, but he hadn't.

Married first at 21, separated at 22 after he hit me, divorced at 24. I had thought this marriage would be for ever, but looking back I was totally unrealistic and both of us were way too young.

Married on the rebound at 25, separated at 27 and subsequently divorced. I didn't actually even like him? What was I thinking?

Then lived with XP for ten years. He has ongoing alcohol and MH issues so we split eventually and four years after that I met DH. We've been married 12 years now - the longest relationship I have ever had.
