For those with successful second marriages, what advice do you have for someone recently divorced (1st marriage)?

Make sure you do the work to understand what went wrong and own up your part. There is always something to learn about yourself even if you were not to blame for the demise of the marriage. Then take a hard look at what you really want in your next relationship and stick to it and only compromise when it makes sense and its not really a deal breaker.

Take a pause, learn how to date again. Remind yourself of the difference between sex, infatuation and love.

And take your time.

I followed my heart into the first marriage and the second.

But the end of the first caused me to make deep changes — including taking a more humble approach to just about everything and cutting booze out of my life. (20 years now without a drink.)

That all helped more than “finding the right person” because let’s face it, no one stays as they were. Ever.

16 years into the second marriage, we’ve had some very tough moments but I definitely know we are really in it together.

I thought I’d just add, marriages are opaque because they are so personal. So what a successful marriage “is” is an open question.

Ie, I know couples who are still together but are very unhappy. Is that successful?

I know others who realized they were terrible roommates so they now live in separate places but are also still married. Is that successful?

I’m sure you get what I mean.

It’s so hard. I’ve been divorced four years now and want to get married again but I still think of him as my husband. It was such a big commitment for me. I feel like I can’t give others a real chance. Don’t be like me OP, and I’m so glad you asked the question. Hoping to hope.

Hello!
I'm italian, 26 yo and currently working in France as financial analyst.
Work environment is great, friendly and multicultural but I don't like the job at all.
Personal life is not so nice since I manage to see my family and gf every 30/45 days only. Colleagues have their own lives and at the end we don't hang out much.
My dilemma is:
A) going back to Italy at a lower salary with less growth opps but better personal life or
B) Switching my job here and hold on

What would you do?

Thx! :)

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
