If you get divorced from your current spouse, would you ever remarry? - Page 2

AL(m) · 09-28-2008, 02:55 PM

Would have to say nope to this one..... rather just enjoy life and all that it brings.... or doesnt bring......

fever · 09-28-2008, 03:26 PM

I actually believe in serial monogamy, but I don't think I need the piece of paper. If I were to ever get divorced I think I'd rather live with the next one. I'm betting taking it all apart is a little less messy...

This question I ask

to all of you.

I think it would take time and healing for me before I even consider having a relationship that leads to marriage. It was not marriage that was wrong for me it was the person and my choices.

I've never understood why people think that living together is different then a marriage, just because you live together without a ceremony or a legal piece of paper does not mean you don't have the same kind of loving relationship, respect or responsibilities to each other and in this day and age it's just as hard to legally get out of a common-law-relationship.

gina99 · 09-28-2008, 04:35 PM

No..............i don't think i'd marry again. Just living together would make more sense for me.

sweetnspicy · 09-28-2008, 05:52 PM

this is my second marraige...and have no plans on ending it...if it did, and i found the right person i would probably say yes to re-marraige

My_Secrets_Kept · 09-28-2008, 05:59 PM

With things the way they are currently during attempting to end this marriage, my answer is no. That isn't to say that I wouldn't consider it later on down the road, but nope, no time soon would I even consider it.

Ditto!

amistosa · 09-28-2008, 06:29 PM

I can't remember what the purpose of marriage actually is. Could someone remind me?

LOL.. yes, in hind site, I often wonder myself. I know I wanted to be married to have my children, to make things easier. Back then I needed the sense of security and level of commitment it seemed to offer.

Live with someone - yes....remarry? NO

rj1002 · 09-28-2008, 07:23 PM

It’s a very tough question for me. It’s also totally hypothetical, since I’ve tossed the question of divorce around in my head long enough to know I’m never going there, at least not voluntarily.

I’m certain that I would eventually find myself in a marital-type relationship. I’m monogamous by nature and would want to have someone to share my life with. I’m also certain that I’d be much more selective the second time around, making sure that we were a better fit for each other, especially making sure that we had similar views of the importance of love-making (not necessarily sex, but giving loving attention to each other) in a relationship.

That being said, if I were convinced that I had found someone whom I wanted to be with indefinitely, it would be my preference to make that official, although I’d be willing to bend if it were something she didn’t want.

cherokeered · 09-28-2008, 08:09 PM

not sure....guess it would depend on a few things...but certainly not right away.....need time

msu · 09-28-2008, 08:13 PM

Can only see myself remarrying if I become a widow.....and I'd look for more companionship than other things. Fave said it well earlier, I don't want to be age 80 and be alone.

sweet · 09-28-2008, 08:19 PM

Assuming my current marriage were to end....it would all depend on if I met a special man who would make me want to be married again, then I might consider getting re-married.

hootergirl · 09-28-2008, 10:12 PM

i would say hell no to that or if i would fine the right one that would treat me like a gueen i might say yes but i dont think so maybe live with only!!!!!!!!!!!!!

navigater · 09-29-2008, 01:49 AM

I will never say never but it would take someone really special..

Icarus · 09-29-2008, 07:43 AM

I'll just quote myself. Bumpin' my post count with none of the effort.

On a side note, if my hypothetical single self of the future had the opportunity to travel back and give advice to my single self of the past, I would still recommend getting married. I guess I just have the view that there is a finite window in which to start a family and I'm getting beyond that window.

I will go Icarus one better and quote a movie instead of myself:

Guy: "I would rather be right."

What he said.

sandicheeks · 09-29-2008, 01:03 PM

NO WAY!

Frenchie_lady · 09-29-2008, 01:18 PM

I've been thinking how to respond to this thread and well, not sure i'll make more sense now that I have had time to think about it lol

I'm catholic, and if i was to ever remarry, it would have to be before a judge. But ultimately, what does getting married gives more to the union? I mean, what presently holds me to my husband is my daughter, not the marriage it self.

A short few months ago, I would have said that I would not have even wanted to live with any other man after hubby. But now, the situation is a bit different.

That proves to me that i can't give a definite answer to that, because things change, people change.

Right now though, i would live with the man i love, but probably wouldn't remarry unless it was very important to him, and it would be a very small thing.

cherri · 09-29-2008, 01:29 PM

I admit to giving this question some serious thought. I'm still on my first marriage of eleven years. It's been in the crash and burn stage for two years. Believe it or not, I do miss being married. Having someone there, not sleeping on opposite edges of the bed, but really having someone there. I always said I believe in not making the same mistake twice. And I have a fear of going down that road again. But with the right person, that fear subsides, and the hope comes back. The hope that marriage can be a good thing when two people work together instead of against eachother. So my answer is ...yes, if it's with the right man. The right man being someone I can raise a family with. Someone I can grow old with. Someone I can trust to be there to love me and take care of me. If he didn't want to get married, then I would be content with playing house and living in sin. If he did want marriage, then I would consider it, but I would never push the issue.

This is me exactly. I'd have to be totally head-over-heels in love the next time, or no go.
