Has anyone ever divorced, then a few years later remarried to your ex?

I'd love to hear some hopeful tales, or see a link to some.

Thanks.

This happened to a friend (loose term) of mine. His wife left him and the kids and was living with her boss. I believed they did divorce.

About a year later they got back together and remarried after a year.

There is always hope!

Hang in!

Bo....go to www.rejoiceministries.org and you will see that it happens. The people who started this ministry are a testimony to the fact of never giving up on your spouse and lifting your marriage up to God and he will bless it and put it back together no matter the circumstances. Their big thing is to not lose hope, have faith in God that he can do it, and to not develope a hard heart to your spouse and it can be done.

Good question and one that has been asked before. Here is a link to an old post about the topic. From what I recall, there are several positive stories.

I know of one person who divorced and then remarried a year or two later.

I always hold out hope for this to happen and feel that it will. Not sure why, guess I just think that we are supposed to be together. Who knows.

Hi,

I have a friend who just remarried his xw after 13 years ! They have both grown and this time think they will have a much better R. (I think so too)

D.

We got divorced in January and are back together. We are "engaged" - sure sounds funny and planning to re-marry next spring.
My ex-husband has introduced me as his "ex-wife and next wife".
Ain't life funny.

What was it that made you two reunite? What kind of conditions were present to make it happen?

The above is a great question...

The conditions that were present were this:

1. Love for each other. We never stopped loving one another even after the divorce. We cared what happened to the other. We realized we were each other's 'friend' and we didn't want to lose that connection.

2. Passion. We found one another physically attractive and we missed our physical relationship.

3. Forgiveness. We both screwed up. Alot. We both were hard headed for a long time in thinking that if just the other one would see the light and change then all our problems would be solved. The solution took a whole lot of looking in the mirror.

4. A decision. This is the biggest thing. We both had to just commit to the process. The old Nike way of thinking "Just do it". Not having all the answers all at once, but knowing that us together was better than us apart and we could figure the rest out as we go.

5. Our faith. We both know that God can work miracles in ways we can't even imagine.

6. Patience. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Yes,
I have heard of this happening. In fact a friend of mine whose H had a A and they divorced are back together and trying to work it out after 2 yrs. Also my H's great uncle and his wife got back together and re-married. I have heard a few more. I also have hope of this happening in my relationship. There are just soooo many reasons that I KNOW that this D is a WRONG decision. I just hope I can hold on and have faith till my H knows it too.

May I add a "subquestion"?

Has anyone ever divorced, married OW, got a baby ...and then even in a 100 yrs remarried with ex?
I know that life is not a fairy tale but....?
I feel I'd die if there is no such a story.
What happened with those remarried after 13 yrs?
I mean what got them together again?
I am ready to wait.

Sorry, doubled.

Betrayed-

You sound very upset (like who isn't on this board). Anyway, your condition sounds serious. Remember you can only do waht is within your power. I'd highly recommend getting into some hobbies, finding some new friends, basically anything that can keep your mind and body occupied, while you go thru this. There are a lot of wonderful people and places out there - yours to explore. Do what you can in terms of getting back with your ex, but also have a high degree of concentration on LIVING- you living life and experience things. The busier you are the better it is. God luck, JACK

Jack,
thanks for your concern.
Yes I AM upset, very upset, mostly cause I am on holidays, the worst in my life, even worst than last yr. I stayed at home the whole 3 weeks, YD was only then with me and OD, and now is preparing for school yr with them and I am worried how will that look like, who will take care of her, homeworks, lunches......OW???? with a son, hard! Dad who is a big businessman always on trips???
And me who'll be far away and will be seeing her on weekends.
And above all, I still realy love my ex and each day is harder to live without him.
And no more succes stories of reuniting, especially after new marriage with kids.
So , how to go on. It's sooo hard.

thank you.
I do not know your story but hope you're better.
