Did they ever date someone else or get remarried?
-
My mom has had 3 husbands, but not of her own will. Her first husband (my dad) is gay (which is why they divorced), her second husband died and now she is married for the third time. People are quick to judge those who've been married more than twice, but sometimes it really is out of their control.
My dad has dated people, but never anything too serious.
-
Both my parents remarried and are happily remarried. They have been divorced a long,long time from each other. I consider my mom's 2nd husband to be my dad.
-
Yes. I have a stepmom and stepdad.
-
My mom is engaged and has been for years! My dad hasn't dated anyone. I wish he would though since he lives alone and is grumpy!
-
@Mrs. Champagne: My FIL is the same!
-
Both remarried the only people they seriously dated after divorce.
-
My parents divorced when I was 18. My mom has been with her boyfriend for 2 years in February, and my dad has been with his girlfriend for about 8 years. My dad has no desire to remarry but my mom would like to at some point.
-
My parents are not but my in-laws are. My MIL was with a really young guy for about a year, and is now dating someone her age and still smitten. She has said she won't get married again.
FIL is out of the picture so no clue.
-
No my parents are still happily married. I hope to have the wonderful marriage that they have. But my FIL remarried because he was a widow for a while and was able to find love again. He is happily remarried.
-
My mom married her high school boyfriend, who she came back into contact with when he was going through a divorce with his ex-wife. My dad has had fairly serious relationships with many women, including one more marriage and divorce, but has never managed to keep them for more than a few years.
-
my dad has dated a few people seriously. moved in with 2 of them (at different times obviously
) but is currently singlemy mama hasn't dated anyone. now that my youngest brother is getting ready to move out, I hope she'll start trying!
-
My dad started dating right away and married my stepmother 7 months after his divorce was finalized (and they were engaged for 4 months). I don't think there was anything funny going on while he was still technically married (although my mom is gay and they had been separated off and on for years). I think he just suddenly found himself single dad with full custody of 4 kids and panicked. Plus he doesn't do alone well anyway. Whether it started as a love match or marriage of convenience (for both of them) they'll have been married 20 years next year, so something works.
My mom dated a bit when they first divorced but she hasn't in years. It makes me sad.
-
My dad somewhat left my mom when I was really young. My mom never dated at all and focused solely on raising me and my sister to be happy and well adjusted adults. Once my sister and I were off in college we urged my mom to date. She has now been married for a few years to a man that has changed all of our lives for the better.
My dad remarried sometime while I was in high school to a crazy lady. Enough said...
-
My father is remarried and my mom dated some for 10+ years, but hasn't been with anyone in about 10 years
-
My dad married the "other woman". My mum never, ever got over him leaving - her heartbreak turned to bitterness and she vowed never to let a man into her life again. 21yrs later, she is still single.

@Cherrybee:
that's so sad for your mom.My in-laws are divorced and they each remarried within a year of the divorce. My MIL's second husband passed away (they would still be married if he was alive), and my FIL and step-MIL have been married for 25+ years.
-
Yes, they both happily repartnered. We spent holidays as one big extended family until my father died - although his wife and her family are still just as much family as ever.
-
My mom is on her third marriage, my dad on his second.
-
My in laws are divorced. MIL married the guy she was seeing when she and FIL were separated. They've been married over 20 years now. FIL has had one serious dating relationship but it didn't end well and he hasn't remarried.
-
My parents got divorced when I was a senior in high school.
Mom never remarried.
Dad has casually dated, but the one or two women I have known about make me nervous.
-
My parents separated in early 2010 and that fall my dad met his now second wife. The divorce was (finally!) finalized in late 2012, so they got married in May this year. My mom is currently engaged to someone she's only known for a couple months (this will be her third marriage), and it's making us all pretty nervous.
-
My dad passed away after 32 years if marriage to my mom. My mom has dated once since and even though I was 30 I was surprised at how much it grossed me out to see someone "strange" holding her hand and stuff. Barf.
My mom absolutely would have married him because she got married at 19 and definitely doesn't do well alone, but he ended it because they'd started dating just 6 weeks after his wife's death and u think it was just too soon for my mom's full court press , lol.
So anyway... Theoretically I think it would be nice for her if she remarried but in real life I am also extremely grossed out by it, which is silly considering I'm 33 and should be more mature.
-
My parents split up when I was less than a year old. They both re-partnered by the time I was two, so I was truly, truly raised with four parents, all of whom treated me as their own. I am very lucky.
My stepdad passed away two and a half years ago , so my mum is single now. My dad and stepmum are still happily married.
) but is currently single
that's so sad for your mom.Reply
