Would you be spouse number 6?

A close acquaintance of mine has just married for the 6th time. Two spouses died, the rest divorced. They are in their mid 60s. It got me thinking, I would never consider being spouse no. 6, would you?

I don't think I'd even be spouse number 2 never mind 6.

It’s a bit Henry VIII but I reckon I could rock me a bit of Catherine Parr!

it wouldn’t really bother be who came before, if the reasons were valid

hard no. Ain’t going in that jinxed list.

If they'd all died, then definitely no. Otherwise, still no.

My grandad is on his 5th wife though so clearly not a deal-breaker for some.

Errr no. One divorce I can understand but 4 - no chance.

None were beheaded then?

No way. To be kind you might say they had been unlucky. But someone that cursed with bad luck is probably best avoided 🫤

Haha no definitely not!

I wouldn’t even be spouse number 2 never mind 6. If you’ve been divorced 3 times you either need to take a good look at yourself or the type of partner you choose and raise the bar.

Good god no! Whatever the reason for that many marriages, none of them are good. I know a guy who's been married three times and I thought then that I would never agree to be someone's third wife, but sixth? 😱

Haha absolutely not! Sounds stressful and expensive!

It's a no from me, too.

No. I'd feel that person showed remarkably poor judgement when deciding who to marry, and that this was likely to extend to me.

One of my grandmothers was married four times. The first marriage was the longest, but her husband died quite young. She remarried about 10 years after that, and basically each time a husband died, she married again.
My Dad always used to say she poisoned them - and it was his mother!

No.

There’s a common denominator in those 3 divorces. Wouldn’t touch that with a ten foot pole. You’ve got to admire the optimism though.

Depends if he's very old and a billionaire.

🤣. Poor Henry’s wives! I think I’d pass personally. Why did he get divorced the other times?

My 70 year okd auntie is like this she’s currently on husband 7, there’s a joke in the family that she poisons them when she’s had enough. Four of them died!

Crikey! Poisoned? Not true was it?!

You would think by marriage, you’d have realised maybe it wasn’t for you…!

I've been divorced three times. Two I left, one left me.

I wouldn't marry me again either.

No.

Marriage makes financial sense if you’re planning dc. It gets less sensible the more complicated your circumstances are.

Maybe he doesn't like relationships without marriage for some reason. Five long term relationships isn't a lot for a sixty something year old.
It is a bit Henry VIII though. And a lot of money wasted on weddings!
Does he have kids with all the previous five, that would be the bit that would put me off.

7! There was a film wasn’t there Lucky Number 7 or was it 11?!

I thought my nana was bad with 3 divorces!
