Fifth wife to be ....

[Decsbetterhalf]

What's your thoughts? (100% asking for a friend)

What would you think to be the "5th Wife"

First was a teenage dare. Second died in her 20s. Third was a lunatic

Right.....and she believed that?!

The second wife passing away is tragic and I am not questioning that but a teenage dare?! Nope, not buying that. And the third wife being a lunatic....what is the evidence? Her losing her shit completely when she found out what a piece of crap her husband was by any chance?!

I'd have to have been with someone a looong time before I agreed to marry them if they'd had that many previous wives.
People can change but I'd have to be sure he had.

I'd also run a mile away from any guy who calls any of their previous partners a lunatic/psycho/whatever other name they choose to try and pretend they did nothing wrong.

It would be a big NOPE from me one divorce would be too many for me!

I'd run a mile too.

I'd be put off by one divorce, tbh.

And the third wife being a lunatic....what is the evidence?

They met after his divorce and many court orders his ex broke with regards to his kids. When they met he'd spent £30k on legal fees. (He'd left the religion they shared and she retaliated.). My friend witnessed this. Lots more evidence but that's the basic.

With the first he had joined the army at 16, was lonely and thought he'd take the bet. Again, there is evidence. So you can pop your judge pants back in the drawer.

I still stand by the assertion that in 99% of cases a man who describes an ex as a "psycho", "nutter" or "crazy" is a cast-iron shit himself.

High earner eh?

She should probably look into how much she'd lose if they did get divorced. Maybe bf has rather a lot of maintenance to pay out?

There is just no way I'd marry to be a fifth wife.

All his kids are grown up. She has no kids.

I narrowed it down with her last night over the phone.

She doesn't want to be on her own. I'll just never understand people who feel like this

Omg all those weddings, all those divorces, all those legal fees, all those homes to sell. It has taken me five years and thousands to divorce my exh. I could only do that once in a lifetime.

It's understandable that she doesn't want to be on her own.

If they make each other happy, then they should go for it, but I personally would struggle to take anyone seriously with so many marriages and divorces behind them. It would give me the impression they don't take marriage seriously or see it as a lifelong commitment.

If I'd been married four times I honestly would not even bother with the fifth attempt, I'd go live in a cave or something.

Urgh - every single person I know who says that they hate to be on their own has ended up in multiple awful relationships.

I still stand by the assertion that in 99% of cases a man who describes an ex as a "psycho", "nutter" or "crazy" is a cast-iron shit himself.

Who said that was how he described her? My friend's husband was broken by her antics. He's a lovely man who just wanted a relationship with his children. She witnessed his ex's behaviour first hand.

I have been married twice and I think after that, it's a case of accepting I am just not very good at it.

Maybe he's the "1%" Titty

Seriously.

How can anyone, especially at only 52, keep marrying and going through divorce like that?
I don't know anyone who's been married 5 times,
It might work but the odds are stacked against it. He couldn't make the other 4 work do why's shoukd this be any different.

This will be his FIFTH marriage???? And he's only 52?

I'd run a fucking mile.

She 'doesn't want to be alone'. Well, she will be sooner or later - just as soon as some other woman catches his eye.

Is it just me singing this?

Biologically and psychologically it's completely normal to have a number of significant relationships through adulthood. Marriage and the expectations of it is a societal construct that we're groomed into believing is best. Just a different approach for you.

No way!

Bit of a joke isn't it? Marrying 5 times? Until the next one comes along

My ExH (dickhead) is a fourth husband to the OW. They seem blissfully happy. She was 45 and has one DS with husband no 3 who she left to be with my now ex. He had 3 DSs with me. He has them EOW, she has a 50/50 arrangement. They seem to make the most of their child free alternate week.

As much as I'd like karma to bite them in the arse, there's no sign of it after 6 years.

Is she about to become Mrs Sean Bean?

Or Mrs man Beale?

Is he paying alimony to the others ?
How many children are involved ?
