Are most of the people that come here on their first, second or third marriages?

I have been married once, for almost 17 years. My H's affair was almost 6 years ago, but I didn't find out until last summer. Definitely ups and downs, but I'm glad we didn't give up

Am technically on 2nd marriage...but if the first one only lasted 3 months and the Church annulled the whole stupid event - does it count?

this is my second marriage,definately trickier than the first. The second marriage takes more work & understanding since we definately bring more baggage int it. I am having trouble right now with mine but it is an every day process to work on. Just never take that person for granted no matter how much they irritate you.The thing that is hekping me try to get through this is remembering what brought us together.

I am in my second marriage. Married first time for 7 years. Current marriage 10 years. Both wives had EA's. Current may have been PA. <p>It is difficult but I am trying not to take the same path as I did with first marriage. I have a daughter in the first marriage and 2 boys in the second marriage. I regret not living with my daughter. We have a great relationship but it required 13 years of tremendous effort.<p>Work to repair your marriage.<p>Michael

I am still on #1 for 23 years. We have seperated for as much as a month twice in the first 5 years twice. This time she left the first of the year. She left because there was a long running codependant thing going on and some cow that was leaving her severath husband said that it was the only way. It is turning out well though.
