Do You Have Regrets Divorcing And Remarrying by Afodot0022(m): 5:46am On Dec 07
Top of the day to my nairalanders fam, compliment of the seasons and may we all see the coming New year. The year has been a difficult one but we pray next year will be favourable.

My question is for people who are divorced and who got married for the 2nd time, do you regret divorcing the 1st and wished you tried to fix the first marriage? What advice do you give for people who want to divorce and remarry? I asked this question because am thinking of moving on after collapse of my previous marriage and every attempt to make it work. I just want to know if trying marriage again the second time worth it or one should just be single as a man and enjoy what life throws at you.

All contributions are welcomed from both male and female especially from people that have pass through this ordeal to share their experiences and advice. This will definitely help me to navigate this stage of life I am in now and others.

Hello op,

I think you answered your question.

Truth is no marriage is perfect as both of you are from different backgrounds and would have different opinions on issues.

I would recommend fixing your marriage.

The bitter truth is:
Anyone who has ever gone through divorce can never stay in a marriage. Quote me anywhere. Even if the fellow remarries, same cycle will repeat itself its only a matter of time.
Go and do your personal research on people who have ever divorced even for once.

I already have this understanding that there is no perfect marriage,having the notion of a perfect marriage is just a mirage. Fixing the marriage and making things work would have been better but whereas your partner is not ready or willing to make this work again, you have no other choice than to opt out and move on. There is no angel or perfect person so expecting perfection is delusional.

Hmmm, this notion is true though but I still think there are some divorcees that remarried and eventually made it work due to their experience to be a better person to their partner, just that they will easily opt out of marriage if any minor issue occurs being they have experienced the essence of being single and independent so putting effort for the marriage to work won't move them. My take though. Am divorced now and to be honest, getting married again is not my priority cos am not just ready for the stress and draining involved in marital life.

If you are divorced, why put your self through the stress of remarriage again? Marriage is hardly worth it in my opinion. You have no guarantee that the second will be better than the first.

Re: Do You Have Regrets Divorcing And Remarrying by Ibkay32(m): 11:12am On Dec 07
Like I used to say, No marriage is perfect, and it’s important to recognize that every relationship comes with its own set of challenges. If you divorce and later marry someone else, it’s likely that you’ll encounter similar issues because no partner is flawless, and no relationship is without conflict. What makes a difference is how you choose to approach and manage those challenges.

Marriage requires effort, understanding, compromise, and a willingness to forgive and grow together. The key is to understand that every relationship has its "devils", flaws, disagreements, and rough patches. The choice is not about finding a perfect person but about deciding whose "devils" you are willing to live with and learn to navigate.

Before deciding to remarry or stay single, take time to reflect on your past marriage. Ask yourself:

Try and fix your marriage by all means because....

You are not sure the new one you will have will be better

Loneliness is not a good thing it mostly leads to depression and suicide, it also breeds immorality

If you leave your wife to marry a new one, she and her family will never wish you well again, imagine having more enemies with the one you already have

Patience and forgiveness are two key attributes most couples are lacking and its really affecting most homes nowadays.

The bible emphasises remaining with the wife of your youth. Even if it means forgiving her a serious transgression (if she repents) or if she is an unbeliever but willing to remain with you. E get why. Do not be hasty to divorce and remarry. Even when you divorce, God said do not remarry else you make her and yourself fornicators. God's opinion is all that counts.
Re: Do You Have Regrets Divorcing And Remarrying by Afodot0022(m): 12:18pm On Dec 07
That is my fear, no guarantee that the second will be better,infact there is tendency that the second might be worse. But if a man choose not to marry, how will he deal with the loneliness and depression attached to be single. I know how draining and stressed my marriage was and thinking about marriage again drains the hell out of me.

This notion of yours has been proven false many times and dispenses with this myth. Marriage takes mental, emotional, and social maturity whether it be your first or your second or... It isn't a game of endurance as some pretend but a game meant for self-realization and understanding of self. undecided

Divorce equally takes mental, emotional and social maturity as well, since it is those who possess these that are rightly able to walk out of a marriage situation when it becomes toxic and dangerous for their mental, emotional and maybe even physical wellbeing. undecided

. You said the truth, loneliness s another problem in this life, I use to be with my friend befoer, we always together everytime, but ever since he has marry and pack from my area, s not be easy again, and my girl friend s not arround my side, now I always feel lonely and it do really affect me big-time, my prayer s not to stay lonely for ever
May God give me a good partner that will love me for who am I,

But what OP said s that he tried to reconcile with his woman but the woman s not makin it happen.
Re: Do You Have Regrets Divorcing And Remarrying by Afodot0022(m): 9:52pm On Dec 07
I appreciate your input but in the case when the other party seems not interested again in reconciliation,what other options are you left with other than to move on. Even before my first marriage ended, a prophecy has been given that I am a man of two wives which now look like that prophecy is about to manifest cos despite the fact I don't want to marry again, reconciling my previous marriage prove abortive. I rather accept my destiny

100% correct. If your first marriage fail, likelihood your second marriage will fail is higher. About 80% because most people try to blame the other as being the cause of the marriage breakdown. When they were equally responsible and should be able to point out where they failed and how they have improved.

OP, you lack introspection. You are still blaming the woman for not wanting to work on it. When you should be working on yourself and working to show her you have changed and changed genuinely. You are even looking for crowd of online people to come and give you advice on how to make decisions on your life and marriage. You do not need to be married. You need to mature first. Don’t go and drag another persons daughter into a failed marriage.
Re: Do You Have Regrets Divorcing And Remarrying by Afodot0022(m): 6:48am On Dec 08
Thanks for your input, well I won't say I am a perfect person but I have my flaws too, my ex has her flaws to and not also perfect. I will say am not the caused of the separation cause all these happened because of cheating from her end, we separated afterwards for two years and in the space, this woman never shows any remorse to even apologize properly for what she did, she never agreed she was the caused of anything, but because of forgiveness and also because I don't want my kids to be raised in a broken home, I am willing to forgive her wrong and continue the marriage, now maybe because she is with another man and I love , making decisions to come back is so difficult for her now , so how will all these be my fault,if she never did what she did, am sure by now we are still going to be married.

Mind you, am not looking for crowd but one thing I believe is that people experience are lessons, they are people here that have experienced such and are qualified to advice properly reason why I come here to share stuff, I prefer coming here where nobody knows me and getting advice that going to people I know that will still use my issues to mock me.

You speak as though life out marriage no get stress, hustling and blusting is that one stress free or is it not draining

Passing through the university to make good result ... was it not stressful, is time you wake at midnite to study or times you rush to campus to write test at 6am

Out of everything that gives human stress ... marriage is where we concern exit as solution

With this being said, oga forget that lady. She cheated and you caught her, what other advice do u need. You are guessing she aint coming back for now cos she is with another man....that means u will take her back when she fuckup there as well. If u have kids already, face them and take good care of them. A cheat wife may end ur life one day.

Thank you... This is what I have concluded and reason why I brought up this post to know the experience of people that remarried and how the experience was after remarrying. My kids are with her, two daughters and don't know how to get the custody, if not my kids are with her, I would have forgotten about her since but because of my kids, reason why it's still drawing me back to her somehow .

You are asking a deep 🤢 question and indeed it really worth it .

Just have it in mind that getting married to another woman doesn't guarantee what u actually needed instead fix d first and talk about how to reconcile in case of future disputes between you guys.

As at present am also thinking about divorcing but d impact of this same lady in my house ehn 🤔
Also thinking about about another one of she will be better and there is no guarantee of getting a better one 🙁

For this reason ehn ..

I know people who divorced and their second marriage is even worse than the first one and I know people whose second marriage is much happier. People make mistakes, learn from them or repeat them.

Move on and you don't need to remarry, you can always have a girlfriend to meet your sexual needs as you have previously done.
