2. I have been married only once and am still married.
However, I was in a "longterm committed relationship" in my late teens and early twenties - the relationship that produced my oldest child. It turned out that I was more committed than he, and I ultimately left him. That would have been one divorce for me if we'd married.
I've been married three times. (Is anyone shocked?)
The first one was when I was 18, to get out from under my parents' roof. It lasted for ONE month.
The second was abusive and cheated. Lasted six months.
The third was very abusive (tried to kill me) and cheated multiple times. Lasted three years. I found out that I was pregnant while on the gurney in the emergency room.
I never found myself until after the third divorce. It was only then that I decided that I had to quit counting on men to provide my self-esteem. I entered college and am now finishing my PhD. More than anything, I love me now.
But it's serial polygamy with me. The one time I was married I was the first but not the only husband. 3 husbands and one wife but I was the only really legal one. Plus a live in lover-girl who didn't wanna get tied down.
