Is there anyone here who has married their spouse more than once?

I have a friend of mine at work who married her current husband twice. It is an interesting story. The first time around she said he really wasn't ready to commit and he hurt her a lot (by cheating) thus resulted in their divorce..however, 10+ years pass and they somehow reconnect. She told me about how it took a while for him to regain her trust but she did see that he was now ready to commit to her. They remarried and have remained so for the past 6 years. I think it takes a tremendous amount of faith, trust, and communication to make a relationship that once failed work again. She did mention that in the 2nd go round she took her time getting to know him all over again as he proved to her she was his soul mate and that he was ready to spend the rest of his life with her. They had children from when they were married the first time...I thought it was a touching love story...one you don't hear often in real life. Normally when folks get back together it still fails because of the same recurring issues from when they were together the first time.

Also is there anyone who is currently in a relationship with a bf/gf that they were previously with before...didn't work out the first time, but this time around everything is going great?

Tell me your thoughts.

it never works

it's fine now but down the line

unless both parties both grown a great amount and is willing to put the past behind them and look only towards the future which is very hard for past lovers to do

My brother Mike and his wife Janice are married twice ~ they married young and after several yrs they took a couple yr ( legal ) "divorce" break and then remarried ... and have been together 25 yrs or so since the second marriage ... happily by the way

Well never say never. Apparently it has been working for my friend and her husband. I get what you are saying, but it just proves that every relationship where people go back and reconnect isn't a total bust.

Timings seems to be the key to alot of relationships

if the timing is off...it dont work,,no matter how much love is involved

Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner divorced, reconnected years later and remarried.

and if you read about her death, there is reason to believe that it did not work out well the second time

I have never been married, but I think I could still love any of my exes

the question is, could I live with them?

I don't mean just because she died, but there were rumors of fighting because of an affair with Chris Walken

20 years in, and I would re-marry my wife...

It happens. A former co-worker of mines told me about someone she knew that married twenty years ago. They got into a blown up argument, she took the kids, and divorced him. He married two more times after that, and she married. Both marriages did not work out. Somehow, they reconnected again, and now they're remarried. When you have unresolved issues, it is easy to take the easy way out, rather than face them. I'm sure they've come to that conclusion.

I bet that's more common than we think.
