No...My cousin is getting divorced right now from a guy. It was the 4th marriage for each. They are in their very early 50's.
They seem like nice, normal people on the outside, but clearly, they have huge issues.
They each had an early teen marriage (and she had a teen pregnancy) so it is understandable that those early marriages fell apart. Then they each had a shorter second marriage in their twenties fall apart. Also maybe sort of understandable. (She had kids from her second marriage too; he did not). Then they each had lengthy third marriages (20 years each; her longterm husband adopted and raised her three kids; he and his 3rd wife had three kids plus he adopted and raised her two boys from her previous marriage.)...Okay, so they go into this new marriage with high hopes and expectations that this is it - that they are finally going to get it right this time AND it fell apart after less than two years. Too much baggage. Way too much. There were too many kids and stepkids and grandkids and exes etc. Plus they each clearly had deep seated problems even though to outsiders, they are happy, nice, goodlooking, professional people.
I say - move along to someone without so much baggage or you will end up in the middle of a lot of drama.
