Even second marriage are far more likely to end in divorce than first marriages.

One divorce I would still consider - depending on the story and the life lived in the years since the divorce. Any more than 1 divorce or a divorce in the past couple years and nope - Massive waving red flags.

Three exes is three little red flags.

Once? Yes.
Twice? Maybe, it depends.
Three times? Hell no

I would never, ever marry someone who'd been divorced that many times.

Heh...NO. I am on my second marriage and if this doesn't work out I'm done.

I do think the more often you get over that hump of splitting up - getting a divorce, which is generally much harder than a regular breakup - the easier it gets.

No reason not to date them though.

Look at it this way, if three women though enough of him to get married, he must have something going for him. As an aside, I work with someone who is his wife's fifth husband and they seem very happy.

It's hard to trust the judgment of someone who three times already has thought to himself, "This is it! She's the one I want to spend the rest of my life with!" and he's been so wrong every time.

The higher the number of divorces, the higher the probability of more divorces to come.

I would, life happens people grow apart. If I loved this person I would take the chance. Nobody's future is written in stone.

At last he will probably marry her...

Is that what her boyfriend told her? Because then he'll probably blame the next divorce on your friend...
The man I know who has been divorced three times would NOT make a good partner, from what I know of him. (And yes, he would no doubt blame the ex-wives.)

Truth here!

Repetition compulsion or OCD?

yeah, I get that. . . but

Define "quite a few years." In my book, that's around 10 years. And then there's the "break" btw. marriages. So I would hope that at least 2 good years would pass before Marriage Lover purchased another ring!

Then what you've described is a new wife each decade, so Anne for the 80s, Betty for the 90s, and Carol for the 00s. Who'll it be for the 2010s? Della!

Here's a better question: why would you date a guy who's been divorced three times?

What's the point?
