Are people who marry many times mostly weak, needy type people?

Question

Sarah...truth hurts eh?

especially men that marry many times are weak in my view. Women, I basically know they are looking for financial support

Answer 1

I have never heard such a thing before. Why would you say that? When two people get together, they become each others support system. Love binds them together and only makes life better. I used to think being single is so much fun, but since I am married now, I don't even want to go back to single status. It was so lonely going back to an empty apartment. Yes you have friends for sometime, but ultimately you come home to walls. It's nice when someone cares about you. It's nice when someone remembers your birthday and send you flowers at work. It's nice when you are sick, your loved one wakes up all night taking care of you.

Answer 2

My mom married 4 times. I think when we were growing up...she was those things. She was raising us 3 kids & the relationships she found were not good ones. Back then i feel like she was weak and needy...but now....things have changed and so has she. Not everyone is weak & needy......just not able to find the right person. I've been married & divorced twice.....I don't believe i'm either of those things.

Answer 3

I know this man who has been married several times and I thought he was an okay guy, but now I see that his current wife bosses him around constantly. It to the point that I embarrassed for the guy. Maybe some people need the so called security of marriage so they can be told what to do. I would say its almost like the exchange of power commonly associated with S&M. Well, those are my thoughts anyway.

Answer 4

I wouldn't neccesarily say they are weak and needy...

I would say that they have a very strong desire for companionship and love.

My father was married three times and he was a very strong and determined man. He just loved having a helpmate and a companion to come home to. There is nothing wrong with that.

Answer 5

Yes, this is usually the case. Most of the time, these types of people need to be with someone in order to boost their feelings of self-worth. They usually have very low self esteem, although it may not be evident. They have extreme difficulty standing on their own two feet, making any kind of decisions on their own, and are generally quite unstable.

Just the fact that they marry many times, is almost always evidence of psychological or severe emotional disturbance.

Answer 6

Depends on the person. Not always though some people tend to attract the wrong people and more then likely need to get some counseling to be stronger people and know they deserve better.

Answer 7

Not sure where you are getting your information, but I am a doctor and my wife was an independent career woman and published author when we got married. I didn't "need" her and she didn't "need" me; we got married because we fell in love.

Answer 8

maybe - or they just don't know how to pick a suitable partner or they themselves are just not a suitable partner for many reasons.

Answer 9

Could be.
