I have a cousin who has divorced and remarried his wife three times now. The details are extremely complicated. He's extremely old fashioned home builder and doesn't want to work a day in her life. She's a very independent person originally born in Egypt and rebelled against the bad treatment of women. (she's a professional counselor in that area) They've got three great kids that have gone through all of their back and forth. The youngest girl just graduated two years ago, top of her class. But that kind of sparked her parents to separate yet again. No one's sure at this point if they're going to divorce again, only because no one's sure if they officially remarried the last time or not.

I have only one experience when my Aunt remarried her ex and it was not good. This was an abusive relationship prior to the first divorce. He tried to be real sweet with her to remarry so that he could then show his true colors and get the second marriage disolved. His purpose was to try to get the original division of assets changed from 2/3 her and 1/3 him to 50/50. After they got remarried, he introduced his girlfriend to my Aunt. (lots of fun an drama all around).

The good news is that the judge reverted everything back to the original divorce decree and really gave it to him in the end for being such a smuck.

In the end, this Aunt married a very nice guy that she had known for a very long time and has had a much better life.

I have 2 relatives that did this. The both realized a couple of years after the divorce they had a good thing. Still married also!

My grandparents divorced when I was an infant. They remarried about ten years ago because they realized how lost they were without each other. It was all very romantic, and they are still happily married today!

My girlfriend married her ex again last August and she just told us last week that they are getting divorced for the 2nd time.

I feel every situation is different and some people make it work while others simply can't and there's nothing wrong with that. I personally know a couple who were seperated then got back together.

Is she re-marrying him 20 years later?

LOL, I can't even fathom re-marrying my ex. Good riddance!

Seriously though, I can understand a married couple separating and then getting back together. But, after you have gone through all of the trouble to divorce somebody, why would you possibly want to remarry them? Just asking for trouble IMHO. Moving forward not backward is usually the better bet.

If a redneck couple gets divorced, are they still legally brother and sister???
Groan............Ignore that one!

Almost did the same, thought better of it.
I considered - if it didn't work the first time, why would be any different?
So, I declined the offer.

If they decide to be together again, why make it legal? If they were that religious anyway, they wouldn't have gotten divorced. Leaving someone is a lot less stressful than divorcing them....again! But I don;t know of any couple that actually remarried.
