marriage, is it really worth doing it after one failed

[danmo783]

I will be 34 on July 29th, and I have zero plans to get married. I meet a lot of women and can't seem to connect with any of them. I am actually growing out a thick beard now to not be bothered looking clean cut... I don't want to meet any more women. I've met a dozen or so in the last month after the pool opened here at my apartments. It doesn't matter who I talk to, whether they are "supermodels" or "average."

Looks become less and less important to me as the years go on. Naturally someone will be attracted to the "better looking women" and women the same toward men, but in the end, we'll all be old and wrinkly one day lol. My main issue is that connection. Totally different views on the world.

Yes, it is absolutely worth it, to try again! Each person is different. What happened in your previous marriage shouldn't be reason to cause you to not try again. Marriage isn't perfect so the other person will bring their own challenges. You need to weigh the pros and cons and decide the best solution. Just because you face a dilemma in your marriage it shouldn't have to end in divorce. Always keep an open heart, and love will find it's way in!

I think it depends on the relationship for another marriage. The first one didn't work but doesn't mean the next one won't!

I married the second time and it lasted over 47 years  So very glad I took a second chance

I got married the first time to get out of the house many years ago.  My husband did the same for other reasons. Very bad combo.  We had three great kids, but the marriage did not last. "Women's Lib" was new, and told me it was cool to quit and try again.

Married a second time for all the wrong, but different, reasons.  It was worse.

I don't make good decisions that way.

Now, I am satisfied being a grandmother, and great-grandma. Much, much better for me.

If I ever got divorced, I definitely would be skeptical and extremely cautionary on choosing another partner.  Everyone will evaluate the worth of remarrying.  Some people cannot be content without a partner, while others fine happiness single.

I hear you on the can't be content being without a partner... i know a woman who has been married 8 times and still trying for number 9, I'd think guys would run.  And shes only 40 some years old. I enjoy my time alone not answering to anyone but my dog.

My parents have 4 divorces combined. Being married would be the equivalent of life in prison after all I've seen.
