So many marriages

Mine son just stopped at home on his way to go to see his mom. We talked a little and he brought up the fact that his mom was getting a divorce and with that I thought, wow I picked some real winners. So for that those that do not know I have been married and divorced twice and although that is a lot to some people it is nothing compared to my two ex's. My first wife I admit I married to young and was not ready for it. It barely lasted over 2 years. The second lasted 8 years. My first wife, our marriage was her first but she has since went on to married and divorce a total of 5 times. My second wife, this was both our 2nd marriage and she has since gotten married and will be divorcing for a 3rd time. Seems to them that many marriages is the way to go. I am done with that and would never get married again. I tried twice and what I have learned is that it is not for me. I must not be good at it so I will not try again. I don't know why I talk of this I guess I just found it odd that between the two of them they have married 8 times and failed each time. I guess I feel sorry for them that they can not find love in themselves so they seek it out and fail time after time.

So the problem is in theirs, not yours. Just wait for your time, it will come.

@Allionnazxyl I disagree. I have been doing just fine for quite a few years without a committed relationship.

@Bensen32 Then at least get a partner to look after you somehow if you don't want to get married. You need someone to be with while watching the sun rises.

Maybe they are only getting married for the wedding, the wedding gifts and the honeymoon.

People jump into marriages way too quick, alot of the time. Others just don't pick good partners. (Whether married or not) so they go from one relationship to another. Especially since alot of people don't seem to be okay being alone

@Bensen32 I mean, it's not that they can't. They just don't want to so they settle for anything and anyone.

Yes, there is. I think this was before the whole Covid thing though. Although, I have heard of some people having issues due to it.
