I like that as a comeback..."I'm taking names should this one not work out" kind of turns it around and makes you ask why these sad acts are concerned about your record. There is nothing to be embarassed about, you have been divorced ONCE...51% of marriages today end in divorce...

I would be confused as to why they included that too. I think people that get married again must be very optimistic people. I'm always rooting for them. Is it women that bring it up? I think saying you could be number four might be a negative attitude implied towards your wife although it is funny. You sound like a great guy--maybe they're hoping to be number four.

Maybe a confused look and "Yes, I have been blessed to find someone special after my wife passed away but I'm unsure what that has to do with this situation."

I too think they want to be number 4!

You seem to be a gentleman and I have a lot of comebacks you probably wouldn't be able to say. I have to thank you because I have completely cracked myself up over this one. I have to clean Diet Coke off my monitor now.

Suffice it to say you can easily quintuple the effect of any comeback by adjusting a certain part of your anatomy at just the right moment.

Hope you weren't drinking anything when you read this!

I was just thinking of something no one has mentioned? What about these couples who "live together" and go from relationship to relationship? They are probably the "most questionable" but can still say they have never been married!

Well, let's see...I'm 29 & have been married once...we got divorced and our relationship still hasn't changed much...he's like a brother to me...which is creepy in a husband.

Heh heh heh...now this is where it gets fun...

My ex got me the job I have, he left the job & has come back. My current BF was actually hired to replace my baby's father...& we all seem to get along. My life is never normal... LoL I swore after my "baby daddy" left, I'd never date anyone I worked with ever again...but my BF managed to convince me to make 1 last exception...

So, yeah, I don't think it matters how many times you've been married. My best girl friend has been married 6 times...each time to a different breed of as*hole...but I think this time she's finally found a keeper! I admire her faith in love & marriage to keep trying so many times. Even tho my ex & I are still good friends, I am hesitant to get married again. It is a big commitment to me, & a major pain in the butt to get out of!

Why do people care anyways? It's not like any one of us is drama-free...where do they get off judging?

I don't know why any of your coworkers should even know about your past. I've been married before and really don't find it to be anyone's business. The next time someone at work brings up your marriage history, just look at them and ask, "and your point is?"

No, that's what you did to yourself!

Maybe they do it just to get you riled up. I have to admit I like to tease my bf about being married 3 times even though I've almost got #2 under my belt.
