[quote=Anonymous]NP. While context does count (as in--was the first a very early starter marriage that flopped fast, etc.) -- there truly are people who just Cannot. Be. Alone. They just need another person in their home. Whether that comes from a romantic notion that people simply "should" be in relationships, or a simple inability to be comfortable having only themselves for company, well, who knows. But whatever the deeper motivations, people who have "can't be alone/must be attached" impulses are not great bets for long-term relationships. The roots won't be very deep. This is based on my close relative who has married five times. Loved each spouse in their way, but ultimately, just wanted someone in the house when they came home--and, importantly, once any relationship started to involve any effort or work, relative would peace out and they'd divorce amicably, or at least without much fuss.

So, twice divorced could be OK, or it could be someone who just wants a warm body around and isn't deeply invested in you as a person, and won't stick around once the relationship requires any real effort.

I love this relative, and they treat spouses very well materially, but just don't have depth and the "stickiness" for lifetime bonds.
