General Chat

One of my Nan's sayings.

I have a friend of a friend recently married who is on husband number 4 ( may be 5 actually) , which always seems to me the 'triumph of hope over experience' lol. Henry VIII had six ( but had reasons to get rid of most, albeit not very honest reasons) Liz Taylor I think had 8 marriages?

Assuming you had tried more than once, at what point would you say it was reasonable to assume you were better suited to being single?
:-D

I read that the most married woman, was married 23 times, is now single but wouldn't hesitate to marry for a 24th time :-)....maybe she just loves wedding cake ? :-)

I'm on my first but am OH's third, I think he's met his match :-D

Well, I've been married twice, and if I hadn't got it right the second time, there definitely wouldn't have been a third!
However, I think I'd hate to be single. :-D

Not sure I can answer that Rose. Maybe it depends on the reason for the marriages being no more! i.e. widowed or divorced and if divorced for what reason.

But happily married to a lovely man for nearly 53 years I think if I were to be sadly left on my own (and I really hate the thought), I would not look for anyone else. No point when you have already had the best I think. :-) <3

Although being a woman I reserve the right to change my mind :-D :-D :-D :-D

So far so good with just the one.

My best pal found the right one at number 3.

:-)

I was talking to my friend the other night, she too is single and very happy with that, lol we both came to the conclusion that though in years it is not 'too late' for either of us to marry, it is probably 'too late' in the sense we enjoy being single ( though she has no one at home now so is 'more single' than me lol).

:-D Rose, Some people are just Gluttons for Punishment. :-D :-D :-D

A lady I know went to a wedding last year. The wedding of her stepson.

She was the boy's stepmother from when he was about 4 until he was about 12, and they've kept in touch ever since she and his father divorced (she had one husband before him, and two after, she's currently "single and looking")

At the wedding reception (which was in Europe) she was seated at a table of women. They started chatting... six of them. They were all ex-wives of the groom's father!!!!!!!

The groom (so it seems) is such a nice young man, he got on well with ALL his step-mothers (who got younger and younger) and invited all of them to his wedding.

The conversation at that table would have been......... er.......... interesting?

:-D

Was his father at the wedding?

If at first you don't suceed try, try and dare I say it try again ;-)

Yup, father was at the wedding, with his wife..... number 8 I believe.

:-D

I have no idea how many of the groom's half-siblings were there!

I married young big mistake divorced after 13 years then I met a lovely man after eight years we got married, but he died two years later.I've been on my own for 17 years now and I'm only in my early 60s but I'm staying single.
