How did you meet your 2nd husband/wife?

[Misty9]

And how old were you? Give me hope that I'm not destined to be alone for the rest of my life...!

Glad it was a “naice” bookshop and not a dodgy one 😉😊

I have no idea where the "nice" in my post came from. No way did I type that.

Cringed when I saw how wanky that sentence is now.

My friend at work introduced us - he was her DH best friend, just turning 39 and had never had a serious relationship. I am six months younger and was divorced with a young son. Together 16 years now married for 12.

I’m single, mid-40’s and definitely not looking but I’m really enjoying everyone’s stories. So lovely and uplifting. Apart from the person who regretted their school reunion. (Sorry about that)

Online at age 32.Had split from exH 4 months before.

Not married and not intending to be
Ex work colleague of ex DH - people do sometimes pick sides
He told me that he’d told ex DH what a twat he was to have an affair with OW when he had a beautiful wife and fab DC and that the grass was never greener

Online (Plenty of Fish ) when I was 38 and he was 34 - so he only just snuck into my age bracket search! I work at home alone so was never going to meet anyone any other way. Had a few dates before that. All very nice. Never had any of the dodgy OLD experiences that others have had, thankfully.

I was 46. Someone I’d been at sixth form college with, started chatting to me on Facebook Messenger about something I’d mentioned in a status. We continued chatting and a week later he divulged he’d fancied me in sixth form. We agreed to meet up. That was just over 3 years ago. Im really very happy.

@Xztop why can you never be with this person? I need to know more!!

@Misty9 have faith ffs I remember you from renovation and separation threads. Healing takes time. I'm similar to you in terms of age and the timeline of events and I only just now begin to very tentatively entertain the possibility of dating at some undefined point in the future!

Online at 38. Exceptionally lucky for the first time in my life.

Early 50's. He is - was - my vet who I'd been regularly taking my cat to for several years. There was always a spark but couldn't do anything about it while still married. That said, that spark was a factor in eventually divorcing first DH.

Met exh #2 on OLD at age 40 but we divorced after 10 years. A combination of growing apart, his fondness of drink and ultimately his cheating. Not sure I'll bother again. I'm now 53.

Met online 16 years ago, I was 37, he was 36. Married 11 years, v happy.
My first marriage only lasted a few years. Second time around I was 20 years older and knew myself better and we're a much better fit.

Plenty of Fish, about 42 years old then, now 49 and married in May

@rjj82 lol! Where do I begin? He lives in a different country, is a drug addict, an alcoholic and a gambling addict oh and is also a self confessed womanising bastard. We met once years ago and have stayed in touch ever since. He says he loves me too but it's a fantasy that will never and could never happen
