If a person has divorced 3 times, would you conclude that the person has an underlying problem?

 Men are quick to bail out of marriages because they think that the grass is greener on the other side.  Then they try the green grass on the other side and find out that they have the same problem.  Then... keep reading →

It would raise a question in my mind. On the other hand I have a good friend, a very decent person, who has been divorced three times. The first, which he now regrets, after a long marriage to a very nice woman. I chalk up the other two times to bad luck and/or bad judgment.

It would seem either they are a poor judge of character, they like to jump into serious commitments too quickly, or they are a good actor capable of hiding a part of themselves thinking it won't be revealed this time.

Without being judgmental... there could be many reasons that caused the breaking up of the relationship. But having say that, there is someone I know that went through a couple of relationships and the men she was with are pretty similar in terms of character and the reason for breaking is also the same. She said she can't help it as she is more attracted to the same kind of man. Love usually over rules rational thinking.

"Once bitten, twice shy"... three times? uhmmm... Either it iis not painfully enough to learn the lesson or he's a natural optimist.

"Remarriage is the triumph of hope over experience." So you could say the person is a perpetual optimist. Or an idiot. So, yes, a problem.

That person needs to rethink his dating strategy because there is a flaw in there that is attracting him to the wrong type of person. Beauty doesnt bring happyness all the time.

If someone repeatedly gets married to someone he/she ends up disliking enough to divorce then there is obviously some sort of fundemental problem.
