Any divorced/separated/remarried people here?

I got married once. It should have been one of the happiest days of my life but it was one of the saddest, even the vicar cried.

I had been living with my partner (who was divorced) for 14 years. Blissfully happy, no real intention of getting married any day soon. Well we had been engaged for four years, it doesn't pay to rush things. We moved into a new house and he was planning on eventually getting married on the front lawn of our new house. Except he was diagnosed as terminally ill. We had to seek special permission from the registrar to get married at home in case he didn't live long.

So I found myself married and widowed in fairly short order.

In my opinion anyway:)

After 30 years of marriage I guess that is what happened to me..I expanded my horizons, grew in confidence and realised how unhappy our marriage was. I didn't want another 30 years of the same, hoping for something every day is soul destroying, amazed it took me so long to realise!

Barry and I are so happy :love: we really wish we could have met years ago, but if we had would we be as happy now? Everything happens for a reason and I reckon we wouldn't be as happy as we are now if we hadn't both gone through the 30 years of marriage before we met! :thinking: I think (in Frank Spencer fashion....)
 
Gulp ... :eek: ... here goes then ... :shrug:


1. Married (7 years) / Separated / Re-united / Separated / Divorced

2. Lived together / Married (7 years total) / Separated / Divorced

3. Lived together (7 years) / Split up v. acrimoniously

4. Lived together (3 years) / Married / Happily ever after ... :love:



Not proud but no regrets ... :woot: ... have two adorable brats from the first and have changed my lucky number from 7 to 13 ... :suspect:

Does that make you about 87 years old? :thinking:
 
Maybe it's true what they say then about the 7 year itch then....
 
If you are living together are you technically married anyway?

I've met blokes who don't get into relationships because they are scared someone will try to claim something off them - it's sad.

Anyway, I've been on my own for blooming ages :'(

I've tried internet dating but think some blokes get into the habit/lifestyle of perpetual dating.

Also what is chemistry - instant results for no effort?

If you're replying send a gentle one:|

Erm..... NO! You are considered 'common law', but not being married means that you can walk away if you want to - no messy divorce to go through. I personally don't see the point of marriage - it's an outdated concept (but that is purely my personal opinion). Nothing lasts forever!
 
I know a lot on the subject of divorce/child access/CSA/CAFCASS/remarrage............

Has anyone found yet out why in this world where European law dictates on high that equality must rule over the heads of common sense, it's still OK for a woman for walk off with with the kids and leave Dad with next to no rights at all??????

Oh, tell me all about it... I'm literally just back in from my solicitors. :bang:

Don't get me wrong, me and my ex get on fine. It's her current husband that's causing all the grief.

That is what my other half says about me.

She especially likes that I do all the cooking.
 
Yep.... Back in the singles boat again. 8 yrs married & all appeared on track & she moved in with someone she works with 2 weeks ago. Finding my feet from scratch, but I have loads of time for shooting now.
Searching for new version now to play "tog & model" with.
 
Got divorced about 8 years ago after 17 years of marriage.
My then wife said "Do you fancy living in Heathfield?" (Small village about 5 miles away from where we were then living)
"Yeah" I said, "always fancied that. Shall we go and look at some houses at the week-end?"
"No", she replied, "you mis-understood me. Do YOU fancy living in Heathfield?" :eek::eek::eek:

Three months later I bought a lovely two bedroomed flat in Heathfield!

Met somebody else, married again last June and couldn't be happier.

Two smashing kids from my marriage (Harry 19 and Lydia 17) and have inherited two 12 year old twin boys from Sam's first marriage (she was widowed).

Life is sweet for me at the moment

Should have mentioned... she bought me a D300 as a parting gift. Conscience appeasement or maybe just thought it was fair trade.
But I am having a lot of fun with the D300.
Biggest difficulty is only having my kid every alternate week per mutual agreement, but at the end of the day, it's best for her to spend time with both mom & dad.
