Third marriages, do they work?

[Miss Random]

I've been married twice, and am now hoping to get married for a third time!
I've heard;

1st time for curiosity
2nd time for variety
3rd time for life

Can anyone endorse this before I commit myself to 'life'?

[grumpii]

I have recently seperated from my 1st wife, I will never get married again. Curiosity satiafied. I can now explore variety, for life !!!!!!!!

If this is the third time, time is running out so it might be for life, but if it's failed twice, chances are that marriage isn't for you. Think about it; what are you gaining as to what you are losing?
Personally I've found that marriage isn't what the fairy story books told us but if you work on it it's great to share that partnership and go through life knowing you can depend on the other; but you have to adapt!
I do hope you can find that comfy feeling on finding the right one...

Oh grumpii, its you.
Saw I had an answer and was hoping it would be Ratter with a good reason as to why I should marry him.
Got every thing sorted for this Saturday, but not heard a word from him.........
What should I do?



Are you free on Saturday?

It would seem my mum is about to get engaged for the fourth time. I despair, LOL! She, apparently, loves being married!

[girlygirl]

Are you gonna be a bridesmaid?!

[Miss Random]

whiskeysherry, she obviously doesn't like being married..... or she would stay married. Bit like me.
Maybe she just likes the cake and the white dress thing?
Or the lovely jubbly prezzies!

Im on my 3rd marriage now
I agree 100% with what you have heard
Go for it, you will never be happier

Although I must say this is my wife's 1st time

Third time for me so I can answer honestly:-

1st time - felt to be a blt left on the shelf and wanted children
2nd time - bored of first hubby after 8 dull years where he didn't appreciate me so left him when I fell for another - a whirlwind romance but after four years I found out what the real him was like and it frightened me so I got out
3rd time - met the love of my life, who adored my kids and me and 13 years on we are middle-aged but like a couple of teenagers - its wonderful !!

There is always a Mr. Right waiting around the corner - don't be put off by a few Mr. Wrongs.
Good Luck Miss Random

[Miss Random]

Dollie, where did you come from?
You are a breath of 'fresh air'!

I posted this question 'tongue in cheek' to another ABer, just for fun.
However, I really have been married twice (first time at 19 yrs, second at 24yrs). I have never really given up hope that there is 'my other half' so would hope to marry again - forever!

Your answer has really cheered me up, thank you.

Hello Miss Random, Only just come on puter as I have been very busy. I am on my third marriage First one I was only 19 and it lasted 15 years, he was a compulsive gambler, but had two lovely kids with him, got divorced. Second one, lovely but he died, very sad. I always thought I would never marry again, then I met my third and have never been happier. I would go with your heart, but only do it if you feel sure.

3 *'s are not enough for pussnboots.

How long have you been with your present/current/3rd (none of these sound right) (soul-mate!) husband?

What age were you when you met him? And how long had you known him before you decided to get married?
Please forgive me for being so nosey.

Thank you for your lovely answer.

[pussnboots]

My life has never been black and white. I knew my third husband at a distance for about 3 years, I was his current wifes boss. I was married to my second and he ( My prospective third) was going through a bad patch as his wife was having an affair, and my husband was seriously ill. It is complicated but to cut a long story short I was now a widow and he was a single parent with two daughters (his wife had run off with someone) we met by chance in ASDA and all I wanted was someone to go to the pub with now and again (he wanted the same) anyway we fell in love and married, problems along the way as we both had baggage, bit we have been married now 11yrs, kids have flown the nest etc. I do not regret one minute. Good luck Miss Random, only you know how you feel.xxx

I have been married 4 times, started very young, but no 4 [who had never been married before] is the one I had been looking for, we have been together for 26 years and have been married for 20 yrs.My family were taking bets at the reception on how long it would last !
You have to kiss a lot of toads before you meet the handsome prince.

[Miss Random]

Thank you for your lovely and encouraging answers!

puss and Dee - you give me hope....

My mother recently said....'for goodness sake Missy isn't it about time you got married again, it's ages since we had a big family get-together'.....

With mothers like that ...... who needs families? lol
