Why do divorced women get married again so quickly

r/

And women who had kids make a kid again with other men? How does karma or fate work? I am afraid I will be a single one night stand for the rest of my life! F here

    I got involved with a man again way too soon. When we parted ways, I said that I’m never doing that again. And I haven’t. I don’t know why some of us do it.

    Tbh I think recently divorced people of either gender seem to remarry quick. 

    I suspect it has to do with self-esteem and not knowing how to be by themselves… But I would be interested to hear recently divorced people’s thoughts on the matter.

    Is this anecdotal? I am a man who separated from his first wife in 2018, was officially divorced in 2021 and was remarried the same year. Yes we have a kid. Key is not to rush into things and know exactly what you are looking for. I like to say my first marriage was practice and I really got to know myself and what not to look for in a partner. Allowed me to move on fairly quickly and make the decision that if I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted I would rather remain single. Key is to look also look for compatibility and chemistry. But always remember to know thyself and be open with any potential partners and not hide things.

    I’ve always thought it was because they like the idea of being married and settled with someone. Like the comfort of it all. Just because it didn’t work out the first time doesn’t mean it can’t work out the second? Idk, but I’m not an old person. So what do I know…haha

    I went to Prom and Homecoming with my wife. I haven’t been in that situation yet, but I don’t know how to live my life by myself.

    Together 40 years. So far, so good.

    8 years divorced. I was alone for 5 years. I dated this guy for 11 months and 2 years alone.

    So no.

    Quick memory check of divorced friends and family… and pretty sure the male half of those divorced couples married and had kids faster almost every time. And several times the men had their mistress pregnant and kid was born months later.

    So I have no idea.

    I was single for 15 years after a divorce.

    I’ve seen this a lot over the years. It seems like some women just always need a partner by their side. I’ve been divorced for 17 yrs and I’m in no hurry to marry again.

    This question should have been asked in a way that isn’t a sweeping generalization of ALL women. Moving on quickly is not exclusive to women only. Sorry you’re going through it, OP but I urge you to fix your perspective

    I think your premise is quite wrong. Men are fully twice as likely to remarry after divorce as women are. Only 15% of divorced women want to get married again.

    I thought statistics show that men are much more likely to remarry than women.
