I'm almost divorced...custody is holding us back from the final court date. I got married very young and have 2 children. I left my husband when I was only 2 months preg with our second. I couldn't live with his partying ways. His gf moved in a week after I left him.

I pushed away a lot of people that were our mutual friends thru this whole divorce process and a good friend of mine became a better friend. He's divorced also. We have a lot in common and have recently started dating.

I don't think I will ever marry again...don't see the point of it. I have two children and don't need all that paper work mess again. I knew I shouldn't have gotten married to begin with. I am still young and have so much ahead of me, just not marriage. I might eventually live with someone and have a nice life, but why add in legal paper work?? My divorce is costing more than my marriage.

Marriage is very over rated. I don't need a ring to know someone loves me and is only with me. JMO

Silly question.

Let me ask you this : how many just had a baby, went through all that, and are ready to have another? :P I don't think many humans want to relive painful events very often. With time, you forget the pain and remember the better things, or the worst things. If you remember the best things, you will want to do it again. If you remember the worst, well...

Right after divorce it feels like never again. How soon you get over that depends on many factors.

But know this, if you open yourself to the possibility, Love will show up again.

I don't think I would EVER get married again. I don't think I was supposed to get married in the first place. I'm going through the divorce right now and even though it's exactly what I want, its still very hard.
it's my life that will change tremendously.

i don't think i'm ever cut out for marriage, I would never want to go through the stress and effort of a divorce again! even if I find the "right" guy

I was married at 17 and wished that I would have been smart enough to say no but I wasn't. My marriage lasted almost 8 yrs total. We were married for 7, then seperated for 8 months before I decided that divorcing was what I wanted for sure (was trying to make sure it was the right thing for our 3 sons we had adopted). After seperating from him for just a few months, he found a new love that had 3 kids and also started a family with her before our divorce had even been decided. They now have one child together, so thats a total of 7 kids between them! I didn't think I would ever get married again, but did get married last weekend! It's been 2 yrs + since my divorce was final, and I personally feel like that was enough time for me to get to this point again. It was something I thought about for a very long time and said that in order to ever even consider getting re-married, that it would all have to be completely right. But yeah, I'm happily married again and love my husband dearly and know we are right for each other. Only advice I can lend people is that you need to wait a decent amount of time before going out there and looking for someone else so you have that personal time to "heal".

I've been separated from my husband for 5 months. It's been a roller coaster to say the least. My entire perspective on marriage has changed. Although I still like the idea of spending my life with one person (however realistic that may or may not be) I don't think I'll ever legally marry again. I found that 'marriage' put a lot of pressure on the relationship.

I don't regret my marriage. I learned a lot, and grew a lot as a person. I think having been through it will help me in future relationships.

Five years divorced; never want to re-marry, or even live with anyone.

I got married when I was tooo young..didn't know how great life is when you are independent, and have no one to answer to except for yourself. I just don't NEED someone around me all the time, and I feel the time spend together is more precious and much less stressful.

Funny question.

Saying that you'll never remarry or even that you will remarry is kind of like saying on your wedding day that your marriage will last forever.

There's no way to really know until you either do or don't meet the right person. Any hard-wired answer is just setting yourself up for failure.

I thought that I would never get married again but now that I have the most wonderful man in my life I am thinking that I might get re-married.....but not anytime soon because my divorce is finally final after waiting for it to be final for almost 5 yrs and I want the ink to have plenty of time to dry and besides his Divorce is not final yet and we both agreed that we are in no hurry to tie the knot again .

He has 3 daughters and they have asked both of us when are we going to get married and we say not anytime soon because we are in no rush..... His oldest has told us that once his divorce is final that we should go to the courthouse and get married because she wants me to be her step mom. *lol*

I'm with someone I definitely see spending the rest of my life with. I don't know that I will ever remarry.

However, I just signed my Marital Dissolution papers TODAY and found out that the ex has been in such a hot hurry to get them (after dragging feet) because he's already engaged. Good grief. He will be 28 in a few weeks and this will be his THIRD marriage, PLUS he has 3 children (2 to women he did NOT marry). Looking back I don't know how I ever fell for him. I eloped within 5 weeks of marrying him, and things quickly went from I love you and all the lovey dovey stuff to horrible. I just honestly want to grab wife #3 and shake her.

She knows his past.. heck she dated him before .. and wants to marry him *shakes her head*
