Remarriages that happen quickly--whether after a death or divorce--are complicated. Rightly or wrongly, relatives and close friends of the new couple feel involved in the decision. In my own family, I know of several cases where people rushed into a new relationship and family members still feel that they made a bad decision. (In some of the cases, the 2nd marriage ended in a painful divorce, and in those cases, the person who rushed into marriage has regrets.)

Personally, I'd want to be sure that you aren't rushing into marriage. You sound like you are blaming your ex too much for the divorce. (Certainly you blame him a lot in your initial post.) And maybe you didn't want to give us all the dirt, but but nothing in your posts screams out that this new guy is the love of your life.

What's the hurry to get re-married?[/quote]  I plan on a long engagement. Not getting married in the near future. The divorce was both of our faults. I was not great with money and probably worked too much.

Yes it's almost as though she wants to prove something by getting married.
You are an adult by all means do what you want, but as an adult you should know that family will not always approve of and celebrate our choices.

Personally I think you can never think to much about marriage and this is doubly true for a 2nd marriage with children involved.[/quote][/quote]
