carhill Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 For those of us who've been married and divorced, would you ever consider marrying again? Yes, which is the same answer I gave back when I was going through my divorce. Why or why not? If I'm going to be committed to someone, especially at my age, the legal advantages of marriage are well worth considering and valuing. Socially, other than one male friend, my entire social circle is married, generally including children and some grandchildren so, socially, marriage is the accepted style of union. I'm actually surprised that my exW hasn't married the guy she's been living with since our divorce so I guess she's the one glaring exception. Perhaps three divorces were enough for her, IDK. My traditional philosophy is that I'll only live with someone I'm married to, so any relationship which progressed to the commitment stage of living together would necessarily, for me, mean being married. Antiquated? Probably! That's how it goes. If today's ladies don't like that, that's OK! Plenty of fish in the river and I've got lots of bait and there's more to life than women.

dj572 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 My initial response would be to say no. My marriage was good at first but it wasn't good at the end. It left me with a lot of trust issues and I became bitter. I did have a fairly long relationship after my marriage ended. She had her good qualities but there were too many things we didn't agree on. I am so independant now it would be hard for me to consider marriage again. I don't even like the idea of dating right now. On the other hand there are times I think it would be nice to have someone around to share things with. I am comfortable living on my own and I do a lot by myself but sometimes it would be nice to be married again. I just don't think I can ever do it again. Link to post Share on other sites
dichotomy Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I have decided to amend my response after practical thinking. If (big if) i were to not be married anymore right now - I would not remarry for at least 10 years. I think when much older, marriage can make sense for me again - for MUCH different reasons. Also I suppose you never know who you might meet. Lets hope I never face this choice. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
jbelle6 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I would marry again, no wedding though, just me and the man. I liked being married and nothing big or negative ended it, there were just some warnings that we weren't compatible that I ignored. I won't make that mistake again. Link to post Share on other sites
Woggle Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I can't speak for anybody else but when I met somebody I truly felt was worth that kind of commitment it changed everything. Marriage is a huge investment in my book and when a person came into my life that was worth that price it all made sense. It's not marriage in and of itself that is the problem but the fact that these days there are so few people worth marrying. Link to post Share on other sites
