I'm on the way out of the 3rd marriage, no kids from any of them (36 years old). There is so much judgement from society and it's always passed before getting know what's in the heart....how it has come to this, etc. I would like to think that I could love again but trust, of myself, is a huge issue. I suppose if we think of it is as Hugo has written, 3 successful marriages (periods of growth and learning) that's one thing, but not everyone shares that positive and helpful view.

i am a woman on my third divorce. my first marriage i was too young, my husband much older. it lasted 2 years and bore one son.
my second lasted 13 years, we had a daughter. he got sick. paranoid. he wouldn’t go to work.

my third marriage is now ending, i ended all of them. i didn’t love and respect him the way a wife should. i married expecting very little and i got even less. that was mistake i will never make again. i married someone that i would not have if my self esteem had not been so bad because of the first 2 divorces.

it is nice to hear, hugo, that you feel you can love again. i know i can love again, but who would ever want me? people think badly of someone with a history. i am just 45 years old, i figure i’ll be going it alone from here.

How in the heck do ya go from point A to point B? I've been married for 16 years and now going thru separation/divorce. I don't even know where to START getting out of the house! I haven't worked for 15 of those years, home raising son, and started working from home part time just last year (for my sister). At least I have a little income. Can't go back to my former job due to actions of my ex. He's totally screwed us financially, socially, and legally. I just don't have a clue on where to start to make my life better! PS: this is #2. Last one was WAY easier and less entanglements. Ok, I’m not THE G from previous posts.

I'm not sure how that falls out when both a man and a woman have multiple divorces in their past.

There was at least one that sounded worse than the one that's still left (which remaining comment is, indeed, as SamChevre said, not particularly offensive).
