I am recently divorced. I initially believed that it would be my first & last. I have since realized that people make mistakes & it is in our nature to want to be happy & continue searching for that special someone. So, yes, now I do believe that I would get married again.

Of course, why not. Well, if the right person came along. Then again, you thought the first one was the "right person" so...... I guess you never can tell but I definnitely wouldn't have any reason to say no to marriage just because of one ****-up. Life is short. The world is really not what it seems. Never take things too seriously. You're life is never ever over ... even after a stupid thing like divorce. I'm going through a divorce myself and I'm only 21. Isnn't that sad? Really, I don't care though. I have a great boyfriend right now who's been my best friend for the past 3 years and during my entire marriage. We plan on getting married in April the day after my divorce is final. See, I don't waste any time and neither should you. It would really suck if this marriage didn't work out, cuz then I'd be divorced twice and only in my twenties. lol But...I'm not afraid. I only see myself as wiser now and I really believe this second marriage will be the last. Starting over after a divorce is great sometimes. Everything happens for a reason. I had to start over too .. New job, new city, new friends, back at home with mom, old car from marriage with high as hell payments .... lol It is what it is. Make the best of it.

YES!! I was married for twenty two years to a man that was not capable of loving- he is a mental case. I am now divorced and started dating again. I made a mistake marrying the wrong kind of man, I had two kids and stayed in the bad marriage for their sakes. Now my kids are grown and I am free and I have high hopes of meeting (maybe I already have!) and marrying the man of my wildest dreams. All marriages are unique and love always deserves a second chance. I don't want to get old alone and bitter over a bad choice I made when I was younger and less wise! My Mom has always told me where there is good there is better, she is so right, Never give up, it's never to late while you are still alive!

Certainly. Divorce is a bad thing, but think of all the lessons one can learn from divorce. People can better understand what they want and what they should come to expect from marriage. People will be better prepared for marriage because of the divorce.
I can't ever see myself being alone and not having someone to care about. Someone to talk to. Divorce will cause some trauma to its sufferers, but at the same time, i can grow and be a better person for it and when I do get married again, I can take the lessons from the previous marriage and make things work better in this marriage.

I got a divorce a year ago after 17 yrs of a very controlling and mentally abusive person. I am currently dating a very wonderful man that has asked me to marry him, I wear an engagement ring but I am scared as hell to get married agian. What's wrong with just living together? I don't think I can ever marry again.

Possibly, But not real soon, I have a 13 year old daughter and I would wait till she was grown an on her own. Then I would really have to think about it, I've been married for 21 years, and when I married him I was so much in love that I ignored alot of things that has become big issues in our marriage,The two big things weve had problems with is his drinking and the big differences in the way we were raised. He was raised in a life style that involved partyin' , easy sexual relationships, and no real parental control (they just sort of did there own thing.) I was raised in a home where we had rules, and sleeping around wasn't just accepted, and you didn't drink or party at my parents home,So we strongly disagree on raising our daughter, we have disagreed on his drinking etc. So if I was to date again there is alot of Red Flags that I would look for and I would make sure we had alot more in common.

Absolutely! Just because a relationship didn't work out doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with the institution of marriage. Marriage is not at fault, your choice of who to marry was. I am on my second marriage right now as is my husband too and this time I know that I chose right!! I consider the first marriage a learning experience, I found out exactly what I DON"T want and then went and found what I did/do want.

At this point in my life I'd say NO. I've been Divorced now for 2 years but seperated for 4 years prior. I think its hard to find a guy that is OK with my independence and the ability to make my own decisions. The guys I've dated want me to be their mom or slave & I won't do that. I have my own kids to raise not another grown person to take care of. Or they want to act like their my dad & nope I don't need one of those either. I don't need somebody to take care of me. I want somebody whose my equal. I like being who I am and want to be, spend my money on what I want, go where I want, no fighting or arguing, nothing to discuss. I want to buy a new Harley I can or furniture go ahead. That trip I want to go on with the kids is OK. Time for another tattoo not a problem.... So unless some remarkable, understanding, loving, funny, smart, nonopinionated secure man comes a long - I'll keep the title of Divorcee. Not to mention IF I ever got remarried it will be with the person I spend the rest of my life with. Nothing less.

It depends on the timing. My kids would all have to be raised first. Then if I met someone I would take it real slow and get to know him very well and I would ask the hard questions that no one thinks of asking a date. I would ask him about his finances, is he out of debt, have a retirement plan, does he have money saved for a rainy day? We forget those things the 1st time around. There would be WAY more questions, but that would be a start.
