Studies show that divorce rates for 2nd marriage are about 10% higher than in first marriages. The divorce rate for first marriages is around 55% but for 2nd marriages it's around 65%. Reason for this is because people tend to leave original marriages because they think that the other person is responsible for their unhappiness. Truth is, in most cases people just lack the skills to be able to work through the problems they are facing. "Irreconcilable differences" is actually a cop out for most people who just don't want to work hard on their relationship. So people get into 2nd marriages thinking it will be so much better an easier, when truth is they never fixed the original communication problem they had before and they give up easier because they see a pattern that they are repeating.

It depends on how much time they took between the divorce and dating again. My husband is heading toward his second divorce. He feels he failed the first time and is making mistakes this time that may lead down that road again. I moved in 3 months after his ex moved out and I firmly believe that he did not have time to analyze what went wrong in his first marriage and how to better himself for the next relationship. I am also to blame since I originally was so excited that someone took an interest in me for something besides sex that when he asked me to move in, I jumped at the opportunity. Now I am in a relationship that has me unhappy and he is not helping.

It depends on the person. I certainly do not want another divorce, one was more than enough for me! I jumped into my first marriage knowing he liked to drink, thinking he would change etc. Big mistake. I was much more picky the second time around and I have never been happier. I think people who have been divorced probably tend to think longer and harder about re-marrying.

Nope.
Because having been married once, then divorced, most sane people will know better than to ever get caught like it again.
I reckon anybody who marries a second or subsequent time is just certifiably insane!
(In the politest context)

Well I certainly hope not because that would apply to me, but unless a person works on things where they know they're deficient, chances are good that it could happen again. We're creatures of habit, and anchored to learned behavior until we develop the courage to candidly look at our flaws ( and our strengths) to see where we really stand. I can blame the ex only so much...some of that had to be me.

No, I think it's less likely. Once you've been through a divorce you don't wanna go through that again.
That's just my thought.

I would think less likely because they have learned from their previous marriage and make more adult decisions.
