I am on my 3rd and finally got it right. The 1st was right but I was to immature to appreciate what I had till, I lost him. Second was a nightmare surely made me appreciate 3rd.

My marraiges

I have had 4 and seenm to be stuck on the number 7! 1st one lasted 7 months, 2nd one lasted 7 years, 3rd lasted 7 months and the last one--biggest disaster of all 7 weeks! I was single between # 3 and #4 for 13 years. #4 was a scam artist who was of the impression there was money around. He thought he had a pigeon with $$$$$ Boy was the joke on him! LMAO He saw me and my weakness and I'm sure I was acting emotionally needy

He was a true con artist cuz he even fooled my mother and that is hard to do! It didn't take me long to catch on and I threw his ass out in a big hurry.

My therapist has given me permission to not have men in my life. Which is ok with me. Besides, if I get the urge for a man in my life I'll just get another cat.

Someday I will go into the other 3 marriages and what they were all about

Where's the poll part? Anyways, I have never been married, yet... I hope though that when I do get married it is the first and last time, like my parents!! It sounds tough to be married more than once.

I've been very lucky or I married the right man first time out...or both, but I'm on my first marriage and it's lasted for 21 years. PSTD tested it pretty hard, but everything held.

I always joke that I don't have enough energy to train up a new husband, but I'm thankful every day that I've had with my hubby.

I'm on my 2nd marriage. First one lasted 8 weeks. Now we've been together 10 years - the longest time each of us has been in a relationship.

As I said in one of threads, my 2nd I got married on my birthday and 8 years later divorced on D day. Always celebrate the divorce. Sorry about the poll, i thought I was doing it never have before. I will learn.

Too funny on the 7 years. They say if you get past the 7 yr. itch, you might make something long lasting. It didn't help I waited and gave it an extra year. Sorry about the poll mix up

Thank you so much. It is amazing just with the few who voted 1time and 3 are 50/50. This will be interesting at least to me
