[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are women capable of rewriting history to justify their current choices?

Why yes, of course they are![/quote]

Even better the divorce rate for 2nd marriages is much higher and kids from split families are more likely to divorce.

So those feelings of how wonderful it is now -  won't be there tomorrow. [/quote]

How do you account for second marriages that last decades longer than the first marriage and both spouses report happiness.[/quote]

I posted above about how my second marriage is much better than my first.

The divorce rate for second marriages is high, it's true. I think that one reason for this is that once you've divorced one time, it feels like less of a huge deal. If for some reason DH turned awful, I would know a bit more clearly what my limits were as far as working it out goes. We also don't have children together, so logistically, it would be less of a lingering thing if we divorced.

That said, I think that for second marriages that do last decades longer than the first, it is often because both spouses know better how to be married, how to argue in a way that doesn't escalate, and other such lessons-learned from first marriage.

In any case, there are going to be second marriages that are happy the same way there are first marriages that are happy and also some that are less happy. [/quote]
