i left my ex husband 3 yrs ago but we didn't actually get divorced until january of this year. I met my boyfriend about a yr and a half ago; we've been together ever since. We moved in together last September and he's asked me to consider marrying him. I'm excited but I feel like it's so soon after I've divorced to get married again. I love him and expect to live the rest of my life with him but should we tie the knot just yet?

actually, in response to your question, yes i did love my husband but i was 17 when we married. i was just a baby and it just didn't work out. we didn't end on bad terms, just didn't work out. but i truly am in love with my bf. i know eventually we're going to marry but i'm just concerned that it's too soon after my divorce.

I feel this is kinda soon hon. Just wait for about a year yet or so before marrying again. Make sure he is the right one for you and your life and make sure that you are marrying for all the right reasons this time so that when you marry you will not regret it down the road and that this marriage will not end up in divorce this time. I feel that if it is meant to be time will only improve things and in a year or so you will definitley know if you are ready to marry this guy or not. Good luck to you and here comes lots of hugs your way today.

The only thing I can say is that most second marriages end in divorce more than the first, so why hurry. You're both adults so take your time and make sure.

You've been apart for four years. That seems like a good amount of time. But if you feel uneasy then of course you shouldnt go through with it.

when you know you know. hate to sounds corny, but follow your heart. i dated this guy for 8 years and thought he was the one but turns out he wasn't. a few years later i met a wonderful man who is now my husband. we only dated for 6 months before we knew it was a forever deal. our marriage is strong. so just do what is right for you.

didn't you love your husband and expect to live the rest of your life with him too?

Do you remember how much marriage sucked? And you want to go back to that? Some people never learn.

Life is short. If you think it will last and you feel that you are ready, don't wait because you think you have to. It's your life, not anyone else.

Does it feel right? If it does give it another year to be safe, then plunge on in!

Truthfully hun.....it shouldn't matter what I or anyone else thinks. If you love him and he loves you, then do what's ever in your hearts.
