Can I answer that question after the inevitable n+1?

Not got divorced at all. However, my first husband and I had our marriage annulled. We were very very young and were both railroaded by our parents. Something to do with land and property, it was a bit like the middle ages in our family. We then lived together, as flatmates, for years as neither of us dare 'fess up to our parents. One or other of us was in the home even when we were working at opposite ends of the country. His parents died, as did my Father so any histrionics were well behind when we started dating other people. We felt that we could deal with Mother, between the pair of us. We lived separately from about 1997 or 1998 onwards. Still friends.

2nd husband was also annulled. I thought that I was wife No. 2, turned out I was wife No. 3 and when I left the conniving, manipulative, lying, cheating, robbing get, I discovered that I was wife No. 7 and he had failed to divorce wife No. 6 AND he had girlfriend in N. Wales and 2 kids. In my defence, I thought that he was on a 3 week rotation with his work (2 weeks on, 1 week off) and it turns out, so did his wife - only she thought that he was still in the RAF and I thought that he worked at Bristowes. We were both wrong, he was with his GF and family on Anglesey. No idea what he'd told her but she did go up the pole and give him a black eye and a couple of broken ribs.

Married to Hubster since 2006. Up and down but today is a good day.
Good God Saluki, your life story would keep Jeremy Kyle going for a whole series :blink:

Thanks, that story brought a smile to my face, in a nice kind of a way.

I settled down young (23) been married six years and were still as much as in love as we were when we met. Had our ups and downs but just become parents so life is pretty good at the moment.
Couldn't imagine ever remarrying if things ever go south

Good God Saluki, your life story would keep Jeremy Kyle going for a whole series :blink:
I thought I was going to die at 30 so ran around and made some stupid choices hence packing a lot it. I made some spectacularly good choices too though.
My cousin was equally railroaded into marrying his wife. She is very happy as she has status and horses. Cousin happy as it saves face and he has had the same boyfriend for about 25 years now. His marriage gives a 'respectable' face and keeps the parent's faces straight. More land, more property. The curse of influential parents. It's not all pony club and crustless cucumber sarnies you know.

Getting old but not past it
Once because my first wife decided to become a lesbian so I was made redundant. Remarried now and at the age of 64, this one is till the end.
