[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gotta love all the generalizations in this thread. I started dating a friend before my divorce was final. (He was supposed to just be a FWB but it very quickly turned romantic.) BUT I was in therapy intensively to work through the trauma of my first marriage.

I just celebrated my 15th anniversary with my husband who was the friend I mentioned above. We are very happy. [/quote]

I am glad you are happy but this is a classic "exception that proves the rule." You were in intensive therapy already, plus you already knew your future husband before you started dating. Both of those things are unusual and likely had a huge impact on helping you work through your feelings around the divorce and create a healthy bond with your second husband. Also, you don't mention when you remarried.

The point is that you should not marry someone who has not sorted through their feelings around their divorce yet, and you definitely should not provide them with the distraction they are desperately seeking to avoid sorting through their feelings around their divorce. It doesn't sound like those cautions apply to your situation at all.[/quote]
