Would you think twice about marrying again?

If your first marriage didn't work out and you eventually met someone else, would you just live with them rather than get married again?

Update:

avatar dadriza: good comment - if only every marriage contract stipulated the terms more precisely there wouldn't be so many divources maybe?

    Yes I think I would just live in sin....it's only a piece of paper and a tax deduction here in the states. It's already abused and sometimes just not for everyone. Marriage doesn't guarentee anything you can have a great relationship with or with out the certificate.

    I just love being violated.....come on thumb me down some more...

    You cant base you old marriage on what you have with this new girl im sure your relationship is different and marriage is work if you wanna marry her than do it! Everyone has hard times in there marriage but it takes work believe me ive been married for 10 yrs and many times ive just wanted to walk away but sometimes when you love someone you just have to let the little things go and love them for the good things. dont let your past affect what a great future you could have

    There would be no good reason for me to ever get married again. I could see myself living with someone at some point in the future, but I wouldn't even go that far until the relationship was on very solid ground for a long time. It's so much better to have your own space to come back to when you need some room.

    Marriage is something that everyone should experience once in their lives. But like bungee jumping, there's no reason to take the leap twice.

    Being as I have been married before, I will definitely take my time the next time around. Simply because I do NOT want to make the SAME mistakes as I did in and with my first marriage. If you feel as though you are READY for marriage then do you and be happy but if NOT then why don't you just take your time and live with her for awhile and see how that goes. You know what they say "You really DON'T know a person UNTIL you LIVE with them" so why don't you try room mating with her for awhile and see how that goes, if it works out then sure go ahead and marry her... But being that you have already been in ONE failed marriage you MIGHT want to SLOW down and take your time with this ONE.... Get to know her FIRST... Live with her and see how that goes. Dont jump into ANOTHER marriage, Good Luck

    If I was to get divorced, I would think twice about marrying again. But with the right person, I would definitely commit. Just because one marriage doesn't work out, doesn't mean the next won't.

    I would think twice about it for sure. I think the only way I could get married again is if we went to like a lawyer and sat down and I told her what I want and needed out of this relationship and she did the same and if one of use were not doing our side then we would separate for breach of contract. By the way i am married now, probably should have done that first.

    There is not a chance I will ever marry again!

    Married for 23 years to the most wonderful man I could ever wish to meet, we had a wonderful life together, friends would take the piss cuz we would hold hands and I couldn't see anything wrong with him at all ( still can't in that 23yrs) whereas they would moan 'about their old man' talk about arguments and getting him back. I never understood that, I just loved my hubby.

    Then he hit his mid life crisis- OMG did it hit, dressing like our son, told the kids to call him by his name instead of Dad, acted like a total prat, then started cheating. I divorced him after he turned really nasty towards me. God help me I tried to forgive and forget! So he turned to hatred!

    I would never marry again, no one could live up to my expectations of a hubby like he was and that really wouldn't be fair on any other man.

    It would depend on the other persons point of view to a marriage verses just living together. If they wanted to get married and I was going on my second 'I do's" then yes for their sake and not mine for I would love them to be able to do it again.

    Once bitten, twice shy.

    Especially when having to sell a home that was yours before even meeting the ex spouse, and having to split the value of it, and pay off his debts.

    No more marriages for me.

    It was a costly expense I'll never put myself through again.

    marriage scares me to death - always has done. I am not sure I see the point of it - I am not religious and don't see why I need to declare my love to all and sundry to be taken seriously. The only time I would marry my partner is if either of us got diagnosed with a serious life threatening illness - just so we wouldn't have to pay inheritance tax on our respective estates.
