Did you get married young, and realise a few years down the line.or even earlier, As much as I’ve tried this is not going to work! Got out and either lived with someone else or married again,

I'm early 40s and been married twice. Currently waiting on divorce number 2 going through. I knew neither would work out but was kind of stuck due to circumstances.

Now been in a relationship with my amazing DP for over 4 years.

Just get out if your not happy.

Been with dh number 4 for 7 years..
Have kept the wedding shoes to keep dh on his toes!.
Never stay in a marriage for fear of people's opinions op.

I am mid 40s and have just split up with husband number 2 after just 2 years of marriage and 5 years of being together. We had a volatile relationship arguing over petty shite a lot but finding his profile on a dating website was the final blow. I feel a bit of a fool having been married twice and the second for such a short amount of time but I will not waste my life on a cheater.

That’s good, mid 30s and not even been married once yet! 😭

I married at 21, left at 23 and was divorced by 24. Got married to get away from controlling parents...massive mistake. I knew before I married him that I didn't really love him. I should have had the guts to strike out on my own but I was very emotionally immature.

Married again at 32 after 5 years together...got married when I should have split from him. Fell for the 'sunk costs fallacy' and married a man who had always said he didn't want to get married...he did it to 'shut me up' about it. I left him when I was 41, that was 13 years ago.

Been with my current partner 12 years in a LAT relationship. I'm in no hurry to change it anytime soon.

Married 1st time at 31, divorced at 34 - I knew it was a mistake before we even got engaged.

Married 2nd time at 37, still married 10 years on, still happy.

Married 1st time at 20, divorced at 22. Married again at 33, divorced at 35. The 2nd one was a ltr before we married (we'd been together 9 years before we the wedding). Clearly marriage doesn't suit me.

Married at 20 widowed at 37. Married again at 46 turned out to be a money grubbing cocklodger. Still legally married but haven't seen him in 2 years.
Marriage just isn't for me.
