and do you feel that you will be better marriage material the second or third time around? If so, Why??

I miss having someone to come home to... I never really thought about being lonely. But having someone to share my day with or evenings with again would be nice!!

I miss having another adult around to talk to and bounce ideas off of. I miss someone asking me how my day went. I miss someone touching me. Not in a sexual way but just like how he would put his hand in the small of my back or caress my arm.
What I don't miss is the stress, the fighting, the lying and the crying.
I would hope that if I ever get in another serious relationship (because I don't think I'd ever get married again), that I would be wiser and more careful.
Good Luck to you.

I've been divorced for 8 years.
I don't miss anything about marriage.
I wouldn't make "better material" a second time around, because marriage/divorce, and the years since, have taught me that I prefer being single to being married. Relationships just aren't for me.

The tax deduction?? LOL. No seriously I miss knowing that I have someone who will always be there for me. Yes I will be better marriage material in the future because I don't plan to make the same mistakes I made in the past. It wasn't all his fault I did have things that I needed to work on too.

I miss the friendship and camaraderie we had. We were really good friends- best friends in fact. And, when things were really the best, we had terrific sex. So, I miss all of that.
But, it's important to move on and realize a person can have those things with someone else. It's just a matter of finding another "special someone."

I am remarried but I can tell you that you do not become better marriage material because you failed at marriage. You hopefully use your experiences to make the next better. All those mistakes are the baggage people refer to.

I don't miss anything about my ex... except for her dog.
As for the second part or your question, yes, I am better marriage material now but only because I am now emotionally and spiritually mature.
Merry Christmas

When I was between marriages, I missed the companionship. I'm re-married now, and I think I'm much more adept at handling a relationship, more aware of where my boundaries are.

I am divorced and have been since 1998 and what I miss is nothing. My ex had abused me and my two sons for years. There is nothing to miss. I am married again.

Funny thing about ex's; one may leave you with fond memories, as one of my ex-girfriends did, while another, (my ex-wife) only conjures up negative feelings. In that sense I am more cautious about making commitments and yes, better at evaluating a future marriage before I commit.
