Didn't learn my lesson the first time

So tomorrow is the big day, getting married. This is attempt number two, however. Now, I will fully admit that the first marriage was a mistake. I didn't get married for any of the right reasons...only out of responsibility. I did however get two awesome kids out of the deal(which I have custody of, should tell you something about the quality of her character, so I dont take all the fault for it not working). Anyways, I'm really excited for tomorrow. We are getting married in Indiana, where she is from, so we have a drive ahead of us today. Anyways, just curious about how many have been married before, how many times, etc.

 

Good luck. Marriage isn't a bad thing, you just need to find the right one.

 

JK, congrats!

 

Congrats,

Good luck Marriage is a great institution if you want to spend your life in one :} Just kidding. I will admit to having given congratulation cards to the ladies and condolence cards to the men :} all in good fun though.

YES, AND I STILL AM - CONGRATS AND BEST OF LUCK .......

 

I've been engaged 3 times, and married once. The last woman was the right one, the first two were not. sometimes you gotta get rid of the bad to find the good.

good luck!

 

Once you find the right one, it's perfect. Praying this one is THE ONE for you. Congrats and best of luck OP.

 

Congrats OP! My better half and I are kicking it around, nothing serious yet tho

 

congrats! been married for 12 years and have 3 girls and we have been together for over 14 years.

 

Coming up on my first anniversary July 2nd, been an amazing year. Wish you the best!

 

Only been engaged once. Good luck on your future man. Marriage has its ups and downs, hopefully all ups for you.

Good luck to you, hopefully the second one is the charm

 

My first marriage was the "6 happiest months of my life". Yes that's not a typo ... 6 months!!!! LOL. Now I've been married 15 awesome happy years and have 2 great kids aged 12 and 13. Congrats!! Hope you and your wife have a long happy life together!!!

 

Congrats from another GA member.

I'm kinda similar to you, married the 1st time but no kids thankfully, knew it was a mistake but just took some time to admit it to myself. On my 2nd now going on 4 years and have my first child on the way. I'm happy now, found "the one" and I knew it from date #1 although I was gun shy this time and drug my feet. Just make sure this is what you truly want, be honest with yourself. But it sounds like you've already determined that. Good luck!

 

Congrats to him, nothing can beat his experience.

 

This ^^

 

Thanks for all the kind words. And yes..the kids love her, and vice versa, its working out great so far. Been together for about 2-1/2 years. I know this might sound stupid, but I'm actually getting married this time because I love her(well, and because she generally puts up with my shit, lol), rather than out of obligation/responsibility.

As far as 6 months...Damn, you have me beat, lol. My first marriage lasted just shy of 4 years, however, we were seperated for a little over 2 years of that, living in different houses, so I don't really count it as 4 years.

 

Been with my wife 11 years, worst/best thing I've ever done. Congrats!

 

Congrats man! I am actually proposing to my girl in a few weeks here!

 

Grats man, and best of luck to you.

Just remember...100% of divorces start off as marriages.
