Re: Would you get married again?

No.  I don't want to be on uncertain ground.

Re: Would you get married again?

I divorced back in the mid eighties and said never again. Too bad I didn't listen to myself. Did it again after living with #2 for 6 years. Within 2 years it was a done deal. I've been alone since 1995. That was the end for me.

 Most men will remarry, as they need companionship.

 Would I? Never say never, but I doubt it.

 I would certainly want to protect myself financially, at this point.

 Truthfully, I'd probably appreciate a companion with separate households....

Re: Would you get married again?

[ Edited ]

I lost my husband almost 2 years ago.  For almost all that time, my answer was a firm no.

 

But I have kind of changed my feelings on that in the last few months.  Evolving feelings, working through the grief, I guess.  I am "only" 66 years old.  I think I would really love to be in a relationship again, if I found the right person.  I really miss having someone to share my life with.  Not just anyone. They would have to be really special, but I am open to the idea of a new relationship and we'd have to see if it went beyond casual relationship.  


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Re: Would you get married again?

When most people marry in their 20's, they are learning about each other, and life, as they go along.  New habits and preferences are created.  Often, children come along and creating stability is important for the kids.

 

When people marry later in life, they have a lot of baggage and can be "set in their ways".   We all have baggage.   I think it's harder to develop a deep relationship later in life ... but certainly NOT impossible.

Yes, as long as I could marry the same man TWICE!

Re: Would you get married again?

Absolutely NO.  We made to 50 years and 2 months when he died suddenly.  That was 3 years ago the end of May.

 

I said never then and I still say never.

 

He was a really good and kind man, a great father.  I don't elieve in lightning striking twice. Too many creeps walking around.  Also, dating at nearly 72, no thank you.

Re: Would you get married again?

No Way! I do not have the time or energy to adjust to a new person in my life. I am an introvert. I much prefer my own company to that of others.

 

I have always thought my husband would outlive me. He says he is not interested in having a new person in his life either. He is more social than I, so I guess time will sort it out for us/him.
