If you were to have your time over again, how many of us would marry your same husband/Wife Warts n All, and for the record I certainly would

kircubbin2000 - I could have written that ? I’ve been married twice and shouldn’t have married either of them! But I did have my two eldest sons from my first marriage and we’re still good friends so not all was lost. 2nd husband was a plonker (but I married him so who was the plonker ??) and I don’t even know if he’s still alive! I’m now in a relationship with a kind, generous, loving, damn decent guy but can’t bring myself to live with him, let alone marry him. I like my independence too much. I suspect, like BradfordLass72, this will be our downfall sadly ?‍♀️

If only I’d had a crystal ball in 1966! Spent many years playing second fiddle to his shift work and overtime. Now I am his carer. Good times don’t outweigh the bad times unfortunately.

Yes yes yes I would marry him again.

I would marry my first husband again and deal with his bullying in order to have my children, divorce him, and meet again the wonderful man I'm now married to. Every decision we make gets us to where we are right now. And I'm very happy where I am right now.

YES, YES, YES, I lost my dearest love after 51 yrs & 17 days of happy marriage in a road accident.
I would have him back at the drop of a hat.

grannytotwins Mon 09-Dec-19 10:35:25

Yes. It took me a long time to find him. 23 years ago after knowing him since the February he invited me to stay for Christmas. I never went home. 22 years married. I know what’s it’s like to be unhappily married. I treasure every moment we have together as we are both in our seventies now.

DotMH1901 Mon 09-Dec-19 10:34:53

Yes, I was widowed 21 years ago and I miss him so much. We had 23 years together and I wish he was here to see his grandchildren.

I'm not sure I would marry anyone at this point, if I was in the market to remarry - I married very young and I think I was afraid and not equipped to live on my own.

No reflection on my husband, who has been very supportive through a period of my very bad health. I just think my life would have been different if I'd grown up a bit before marrying.

No

Oh yes in a heartbeat! We’ve been married 43 years and renews our vows for our 25th anniversary. We married terribly young, I was pregnant, French and still a student! Ken was absolutely marvellous, working all hours as we had no money. But we made it work and still love each other to bits!

I’ve been married twice, my first husband and father of our children died after 7 years. I would marry him again in a heartbeat. I married again 6 years later and no, I’d never marry him again. He died 4 years ago.

paperbackbutterfly Mon 09-Dec-19 10:17:50

Probably but I would have looked around first. He was my first boyfriend from 14 years old and 48 years on I feel we both missed out on things.

Theoddbird Mon 09-Dec-19 10:12:34

No...

newnanny Mon 09-Dec-19 10:09:54

Yes I would. Very happy with dh.

GrandmaMoira Mon 09-Dec-19 10:09:09

First one, definitely not. Second one, not sure but probably. Of course this is hard to say because of the children.

Lins1066 Mon 09-Dec-19 10:08:09

Yes without any hesitation. We have been married for 42 years. He is a kind, funny and thoughtful man.
We have a very painful family situation going on at the moment, so I have reason to be grateful for him yet again.

Happygirl79 Mon 09-Dec-19 10:05:54

No

Americanpie Mon 09-Dec-19 10:05:53

First one, no way! However my husband now ? Yes without doubt. Love of my life.

polnan Mon 09-Dec-19 10:04:30

yes, second time round for both of us... 50 years this coming January, he just died November 12th after longish illness.

Keeper1 Mon 09-Dec-19 10:02:28

Which one?

Grandad1943 Mon 09-Dec-19 07:37:34

A resounding yes I would marry my wife again and would not need to be given even the chance to think twice about it.

Fifty one years of wonderful partnership, love and the raising of three beautiful daughters.
