If you havent had this experience please dont answer. People do change, love is forever

Answer 1

I've never been married. However, my cousin remarried his first wife, years after their divorce. They were too young the first time. They became lasting friends after their initial resentment faded. They are now happily married for sixteen years in their second marriage to each other. So, it's rare...but sometimes it can work if both people learned from their mistakes.

Answer 2

Not ex spouse - but got together with ex-gf for a 6 year relationship. Still didn't work out in the end. They ARE your ex for a reason and that means you can fix it if you can fix the reason. Or maybe it means that the reason will sabotage the relationship again.

I have sometimes wondered if it was a mistake, but being generally happy with where I am currently I am resigned to the fact that I might be elsewhere, different and unhappy if that experience had not happened.

So - if you remarry your ex - you might regret it.

You might not.

Not much help, huh?

But if you do - find the reason you had trouble and fix it!

Answer 3

OK sweetie, I have not ever married an ex, but hear me out please. My hubster and I are going through a very strange area as of late and divorce is sitting on the porch most days than not, lately, my point is this...sometimes you need some distance, time, breathing room to either see that it wasn't meant to be or that in fact what you thought you were looking for was starring you RIGHT in your face all along. I think its beautiful that two people can drop pride on the side of the road and do it all over again, we ARE going to make mistakes, none of us can or WILL escape it, but what makes a huge heart and wise head is realizing those mistakes (which its NEVER TO LATE to do just that) and correcting it. Get back with your ex, have a whole new set of first's. I wish you the best sweetiepie!

Answer 4

Yes I did. And i have to say it has been wonderful the second time around. We loved each other but we totaly different lives. He would be working nights I would be working days and then it would reverse as we both worked shift work. We did'nt spend a holiday together the first 5 years we were married. We divorced but stayed in touch with each other and eventualy figured out what our problem was and we both worked at correcting it and then remarried. And it has been wonderful . I also had a cousin who divorced and remarried it worked out great for her also. But whatever the problem was that caused you to divorce needs to be worked out befor you commit yourself again.

Answer 5

I didn't remarry my ex, but I did end up marrying the guy I had dated years previously. We were good friends together, and had just not been ready for marriage the first time around. So far (6 years), its working well enough!

Answer 6

I got back together with my ex after we divorced. We were engaged and everything. I thought the same thing. If I always loved him, then we must be together right?!
My experience...it did not work. He still had the same issues as before. I tried everything I could to make it work. He tried for what he could, but wasn't ready to address certain things that were putting problems into our life.
I will always love him. But you have to distinguish what kind of love it is, and if you are settling just to make it work with the person that you love.
Best of luck :)

Answer 7

as a matter of facy yes i did. we we're first married when i was 18 9yr ago, divorced at 22 due to both just too young and set in our own ways, then remarried at 25 worked still married and going very well.

Answer 8

Yeah. I admit it. I did it. Didn't work out the second time, either. I initiated the breakup the first time, and she did the second time. It wasn't the *worst* mistake I ever made.

But hey, I knew a guy who'd married the same woman *three* times. He was single when I knew him.

Hope that helps you, cuz I don't want to go into it any more than that.

Answer 9

my little brother has married the same Witch ( but with a B) three times, and we are all awaiting the third divorce, everyone I know that has married the same person again,ended with a divorce, now I am not saying it isnt possible to be happy, esp if you married at 18 and it didnt last,,

I am just speaking with what I personally know

Answer 10

My mom remarried her 1st husband. I think they were soul mates. They were married until he died from cancer, and I don't believe she'll ever marry again.
