I can imagine remarrying after a first failed one, but continuing after a second failed one? I don't get that.

Different reasons:
* Some people feel they HAVE to be married, so marry the wrong person, divorce, and then marry the next wrong person...
* Others have unfortunate things happen that are out of their control: one friend's first wife became a lesbian, and his second wife ran up the credit cards and cheated on him. And he's very optimistic about his current girlfriend.
* In some third marriages, they were widowed in one or both.
* People change, grow apart, etc. Leaving is not necessarily "failure" that predicts what will happen in #3.

Well, I am getting too old to ever get re-married especially since I am still married to the original one. I started dating her when she was 15 and I was older so I just conned her pretty well. She can see through some of my BS after 33 years of being married. I still like to think I conned her though.
In reality, she probably got the dirty end of the stick. If something happened to her , I doubt I would re-marry, although they say if the first marriage was happy, a widow/widower is more apt to marry. Hope I don't know for a long time.

I think people can really change & evolve and i believe in second chances. It wouldn't happen to me but i just know that about myself. Once in a while i guess divorce can be a mistake. The only way to rectify that is to get married again. It would be interesting to know what percentage of remarraiges to the original spouse last. Do you know? As far as being a serial marry-er, third marriages and beyond are gilding the lily. You've got to get something straight in your life before you even date. There's something that's not sinking in, something is wrong.
Me: Never been married.

To each his own. My mom and dad divorced many years ago, then he remarried to some psychopath. But had he not married the psycho, he would never have met his current (third) wife of 10 years. Sometimes it's bad choices, like marrying someone you care so deeply for (but don't truly love) that you're willing to put yourself through misery because you think it will make them happy.

I honestly would never remarry if i got a divorce. I would just date. sometimes people mess up perfectly great relationship by retting married. but i do believe in marriage and i am getting married and it will be my first and only marriage.

Lots of second marriages fail. The main thing is to be happy and if you find another person to be happy with go for it.

My aunt is in her early 40s and on her 4th marriage. I dont know if I would have the endurance to try that many times but it has worked for her. This is finally the one for her.. some people are quiters and some are not.

Sometimes marriage changes people for the worse. Just when you thought you found prince charming and marry him, he ends up turning into a frog once you say I do.

Heck why not? What have you got to lose that you haven't lost the first two times, right?
