Both our exes recently remarried.

[Woggle]

I just found recently that my first wife recently remarried a guy that she met while in rehab and my wife's ex fiance married the woman he cheated on his ex wife with. It is a weird coincidence that they married within a week of each other. Good luck to both their new spouses I guess. My wife left him because he cheated. She gave back the ring and told him to forget she ever existed. What kind of man cheats on a woman like her? Despite all the craziness of our marriage I hope rehab did my ex some good and this marriage is better than the one we had.

How did you both find out? Better to wish them well and all the best. It's good that you have your wife to chit chat with and reflect on this with. I'd be more interested in my marriage now though. Why is your marriage crazy?

I've been told that sobriety seems to stick (better) if only one person (in a relationship) is recovering.  If they are both recovering from addiction, the odds are not good that they both will stay clean and sober.

If either one has been through rehab before, the odds drop even lower that they'll stay clean.

My advice... keep your distance from them, try to avoid them at all costs.  Their sobriety is in a very fragile state, especially after being released from a rehab center.  I predict a train wreck and you don't want to get swept up in the drama or aftermath.

 

And similar to @glows inquiry, why are you describing your marriage as "crazy"??  What's up??

Both of us have mutual friends who insist on letting us know.

My current is not crazy at all. It is the kind of marriage many people aspire to.

I have gone into length on my first marriage but she became addicted to drugs and she has no control whatsoever over her violent temper when she is high. She ended up cheating on me which caused the divorce. She also once shot my current wife and I. There is a whole lot more.

I wouldn’t take too kindly at mutual friends gossiping like that. I’m sorry to hear about your first marriage. Best to put all that aside. I agree with the earlier comment keeping them at a good distance. Life is meant to be lived and lived well.
