22 revealing confessions from people who’ve been married multiple times

The traditional approach to marriage is that you marry the person that you want to be with for the rest of your life. However, this isn’t always how thing work out in the end. Even when both people go into the marriage with the best of intentions, things can go south. Sometimes you love someone, and it just doesn’t work out. Sometimes you realize that you got married for the wrong reasons too late. As the late and great Zsa Zsa Gabor once said,

“A girl must marry for love, and keep marrying until she finds it.”

While Zsa Zsa’s advice might be a little extreme (she did have eight husbands, after all), she does have a point. How does being married multiple times change your perspective on love? Are people who marry multiple times more optimistic or more cynical than those who marry once or never at all? Read these true confessions from people who have been married multiple times and decide for yourself. (Courtesy of Whisper.)

I'm only 34 and my 3rd marriage is failing. Everyone tells me that this is a sign it's me that is the problem. I've given up on changing their minds. I believe them.
