This goes back to the love and lust thread earlier. Maybe they're not really in love, and only in lust. When the lust wears off it's time for divorce. Did you ever stop to think that maybe they don't really know what love is.
I'd be really cautious, but I wouldn't give up on that person right away. In their search for love, you might be "the one" and in your search for love, they might be "the one". Is that something that you're willing to give up because they might not have found true love yet?

been married 4 FOUR!!! times.

husband #!. he left me 2 weeks before our son was
born.

husband #2. he accused me of cheating, i did not,
he was the one cheating. trust was gone.

husband #3. he said money & possessions were more
than me & then he hit me & kicked me
& the kids out.

husband #4. he stopped working, expected me to
support him and his drug habit.

needless to say i have given up on marriage, just was not meant to be for me i guess. i also do not trust my judgement in men. all of the above said they loved me & wanted to take care of me and were very good to me BEFORE the "I DOs".

so IMO men are only good for 1 thing & 1 thing only & even THAT can be substituted with a mechanical device. although a mechanical device cannot wrap warm arms around you & hold you, which is something EVERYONE needs, even me.

What happens when the other person in the marriage has done something so despicable that there is no other choice but to leave, try to pick up the broken pieces of your life and move on as best as you can.
Why should the spouse that has survived all this be judged for getting a much needed divorce?
I was married ten years, my ex husband almost killed a girl, is it my fault he did this. I think not!
Life experience can teach you many things, even after ten years you may not know a person until you really find out about them in the hardest way possible.

fireliter: OK I've met some with as many as 6 and as few as one.

Can I be classified as skeptical because f i think the words "I love you " from them are suspect?

I think 'THE REASON' for the divorce is very important. I personally do not feel concerned about how many times a person has been divorced ...

after all ......

Some people do not have many divorces under their belt, but may have a lot of 'living together' relationships that have failed ...

You should not judge any person - scold we are all different, and if we are blameless then let us cast the first stone ....angel

In response to: : Scottishlass


Your post bought back to me a comment made by my 2nd husband about a year after we were married.

' I don't have to try anymore i have you now' kinda summed it up really.

constanza: Many divorces tells me you are seeking something outside of yourself, but really the answer is within, and somehow you have not figured it out yet; never marrried - afraid to take a chance, pessimistic, selfish maybe, or perhaps just clueless with no real agenda or sense of direction, bad luck? The possibilities are numerous.


thumbs up Right on.

6 divorces? That's screwed up.scold

I'll let one go but more than that I say bye-bye.
More than one shows that if they are a bad judge of character or they themselves have something wrong with them, which they aren't likely to change since it's already cost them two marriages.
Either way, DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER.rolling on the floor laughing

One divorce wouldn't concern me. I might even overlook 2 divorces if they seemed to be for extinuating reasons. But more than that and I probably wouldn't consider the person for a partnership.
It would show me that they either jump into marriages too quickly or jump out of them too quickly. Either path leads to failure and that's not what I'm looking for.

I would be very wary of becoming seriously involved with anyone who had been divorced more than once.

They are either stupid/a bad judge of character/or have a flippant attitude to marriage IMO wine

I have a cousin planning his 7th wedding.

I don't know him.

If I did I would like to ask 'why?'

Why would anyone marry 7 times? He must love women.

Shouldn't he be bitter?

This is fascinating . .
