    Anything is OK to do ANYTIME YOU WANT.

    Dont wait for "COULD", "SHOULD" or "WOULD" to bonk you over the head. If you want to do something... DO IT.

    I don't know if you believe in the Bible, but, it says it's ok to divorce if there was cheating, yet, it also says to never marry again, even if you are not the one who cheated. This is wise advice, imagine all the problems your ex wife may cause for your new wife, and think of the kids as well. Since you really enjoy being self dependant, stay that way. It seems the best thing to do in your case. If you are happy, stay single =) and concentrate on bringing the kids up right as well. It's really hard on the kids sometimes if you move on and marry someone else... perhaps your kids would do well, but, you know, it's really hard to find a good woman who will treat your kids like their own, too, and have the standards it takes to raise good kids, as well. Whatever you do, if you decide to re-marry, be sure that woman is what you deserve, need, and what the kids deserve, need... and be sure to forsake all others, including the ex wife... or you will lose the new wife... Don't start dating just because people think you should... tell them you are perfectly happy being alone... Good Luck!

    I think you should wait awhile before getting married again. I dont want to be mean but it sounds like you might have some personal problems to figure out before you marry someone else. If you give up on a marriage after only 3 months i would question some of your character. If i did my math right you were having sex with this other guy while you were still with your husband or at least just a couple of weeks after you seperated. Thats kinda messed up. How old are you cause it seems like some of the choices you made are immature and selfish. The main thing you need to focus on is your baby now. You need to put him/her first in whatever choices you make. If this new guy is gonna be a good father perhaps it would be best to marry him so that you can provide a stable enviroment to raise your child.

    I guess it's ok when you FEEL it's ok. But personally myself, I wouldn't rush into things. My sister got married when she was 19 and divorced a year or so later. She remarried just a month or two after the divorce was final. Of course there were no kids involved and she & her fiance had been together since right after her split w/ husband (and no she wasn't cheating on him, he left her for another woman). Divorce is a long process and I guess you get to know someone during that long time but now my sister and her now husband fight all of the time and she says all of hte time that she never should have remarried after hubby #1. You really want to be sure that he is the right one and what is it going to hurt if you do wait? At least then you will know that you really were meant ot be together. Good luck. If it's because you are worried about what other ppl are going to say, screw them! Lol! I hope you make the right decision, just make sure to think it through... :-)

    You might as well get the marriage underway why wait....you got the kid and a man ...you got married June 2006..3 months later you moved out...3 months later your divorce was final. So you moved in with your boyfriend and had his kid in April 2007.31/2 months after your divorce right....You move out from your husband in September,so that was 7 months between the time you moved out to the time you had a kid....Your high school sweetheart? Now you say you are in love with your boyfriend very ,very much....and he asked you to marry him and y'all are engaged and talking about getting married? you have the nerve to ask,when is it ok to get married?

    Source(s): I can see way things were not working out,you were playing with someone else...I am not a player hater....do you know what you are doing...buttercup! Society looks at a man and says ok,but it looks at you and say something else...this looks like gagging on a pea and swallowing a watermelon. You may have been with your high school sweat heart,but you had a lover during your time with him! Now the question is would the real father stand up! How old are you? You are kind of crazy.. and so are them....no marriage last when there is infidelity present,so I look for you or him to move on soon.

    There is no specific time when you can get married after a divorce. The real answer is when you are ready that is when you get married. I know the divorce has put you thru a lot and I don't blame you. People need to cool off, to think about their future and to feel that they are free of their ex. Now the question is: Do you feel free of your ex ? Do you think about him or are you totally concentrated on your new boyfriend ? If you are totally concentrated on your new boyfriend, then I think it is a good time to get married. Just don't get married to fast before knowing him in and out because if you rush your marriage will end quickly too.

    Your heart will tell you when is a good time to get married. Just listen to it. Now you are probably more mature and been through the first marriage. Discuss with your boyfriend your worries. If you communicate more, then in the future, there won't be no disagreement of ideas. But listen to your heart.. that is the best advice I can give.

    If you are already engaged then just get married tomorrow because it isn't going to last anyway. You may not like to hear it but I'm not about making people feel all warm and cozy. Let me guess.... you were hanging out with your current boyfriend when you moved out. Not necessarily any cheating going on but you realized later how much better for you he was than your husband. You need to be by yourself for a while and then spend a couple years with a partner before jumping into an engagement. You are still outrageously young and you clearly just don't have love figured out yet.

    I think that anytime when you are in love, then and only then is it ok to get married. Don't get married because you have a kid together or any other situation or circumstance. If you love the guy then it is ok. it has been almost 6 months since your divorce and over six months since you moved out. You have to move on at some point.

    When I first got married I was 15 got divorced at 18 and remarried the same man at age 20. Then at 23 we got our second divorce. At 23 I also married my husband. We have been married for over 10 years. If you are over the first husband and the ties are broken, then you are free to re-marry. You have a child and are living together, you should be getting married. In this case your heart knows best, you have been run through the mill it is now time for you to live for you and the family you are making.

    Best of luck to you and your bride-groom. :)

    So you got pregnant by your new boyfriend before you left your husband, or within in month? You had no business getting married in the first place if that is how you treat a relationship, especially your high school sweetheart. No, you have no business getting married again.
