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?
In my case I have very poor judgement when it comes to matters of the heart...I have only been married once and refuse to do it again because of this...That will be my last divorce!!!!!!!
Two thoughts: Could it be that human beings aren't wired for "one marriage one time in a lifetime" and that we are really creatures of serial monogamy OR could it be that the "institution" of marriage is a flawed concept
How about trying just really loving another person? Marriage doesn't protect anyone; we can see that by all the hurt people; men, women and children. Perhaps it is made way too easy to say "I do"?
Well if they are a muslim man they can marry up to four wives at one time...If he wished to divorce them its as easy as repeating I divorce you three times.....
I like to take my time to get to know someone really well before even getting close to them..perhaps I am too cautious but a hurt heart heals slowly...
I think in general terms people do commit too readily too earlier on and don't stick with things when the boat rocks.
fireliter: its not i doubrbt that they belive in love..its more od a intelligence thing
being able to learn from one mistakes... being the primary concern for me.
not too mention the other possiblereason one would willing commit so mant times to marriage...once twice, threee times but come on folks where is the line to be drawn...that these folks are not marrying for love?
I would certainly be suspect.
Personally, I've only been married 5 times. Is that too many for you?
Don't think I would want to be with someone who was divorced more then 2x. One guy I was talking to was married and divorced 6x!!! Not a very good track record.
Been divorced twice, two different lifetimes....last one was 12 years ago....if someone wanted to hold that against me, cest la vie (or whatever the French say).

The first marriage was for 28 LONG years.....and the second lasted 3 months.....I should have listened to my sister that day in September and drove right past that church and out to the beach.....hopefully we learn from our mistakes. There is someone important in my life right now and we are taking things slow. Maybe one day I will get to share his life every day, who knows? If not.....its not meant to be and I can take that. Would prefer to just live with him anyway.
