Pamela Anderson announced this week that she and her husband of two months were calling it quits, but just a few days later, she reneged on her statement and now the divorce is officially off. While I know that's old news, it got me thinking about marriages and divorces. 
In Hollywood, having multiples marriages under your belt seems like no big deal, but in real life, I would consider more than one divorce a huge red flag. Since you all know my old-fashioned values by now, I might be alone on this one. So what I want to know is, would you marry someone with a history of divorce?

heeeeeeylllll NO!
no no NO!
NO!
dealing with ex gf's are bad enough....ex wives? nah. maybe I'm too close-minded about it, but bleh! no thank u! not my style.
175% of marriages where someone is on thier 3rd or more end in divorce. 50% if its thier second.
I have seen it happen again and again.
2no, i would not want to marry someone who had a history of divorce! that is definitely a red flag.. :/
3Nope I wouldn't. I want a forever marriage.
4Well it's definitely something to be careful about. But there's just no way of knowing whether the person who hasn't been divorced at all would end up divorced. To get to that second marriage, there had to be a first, and I'm sure he didn't think he'd end up divorced when he entered that one, just like any of us. Also, what if it had nothing to do with him? What if his ex-wife cheated on him? Or some other horrible drama that made it not his doing? I'd say you don't really know until you're in that situation.
5No I wouldn't because that means they are the problem in the relationship. lol
6by their 3rd marriage it's 75%??
damn.
7Sometimes it takes a while to find your right match. ---- but u dun have to get married to find out!!! so, no way!!!!
8Heck no.
9It depends on the circumstances...young people make mistakes...so do older people. I just don't know. It depends on the person.
10Probably not. But I also have the religious requirement of having past marriages annuled.
11I think it really depends on how old they are and just how many divorces they've had
12I think a lot of it depends on where you are in life. At my age, 24, I wouldn't marry someone with one single divorce. If you're 50 years old and on the market, then you kind of have to expect that most individuals you are dating will have been married or widowed at least one time. That said, sometimes people just make mistakes. One of my closest friends is married to a man who was previously married, and two others are dating divorced men. These girls are all also 24-25, and it's not like they are dating 40 year olds... some people just get married earlier than they should it and it was a mistake. I, personally, at this point wouldn't date them, but it doesn't mean that my friends won't wind up happily married to them for the rest of their lives.
13If it were someone like my uncle who has been married three times over his life, divorced twice, I would. Simply because he doesn't believe in casual relationships and marries whoever he is in a serious, committed relationship with. Also, each marriage has lasted over 10 years and he's friends with all of my Aunts. So, I would consider quality of relationships as well.
If it were a guy who had a string of 5 month marriages by the age of thirty, no.
But, I also lean toward it being none of my business because you cannot judge a relationship or someone's actions, past or present, from the outside, and should really consider their behavior in respect to your relationship and act accordingly.
Eh, I am sooo glad this is no longer my issue. hehe.
14No....
15Sometimes it takes a while to find your right match -- Marriage is supposed to be FOREVER! You need to decide if you match before you get married.
16Where the heck did my comment go?
17Damn, now they both showed up at the same time.
18I definitely would see it as a warning sign. Yes, sometimes marriages don't work but I see divorce as a last resort -- not something that should be considered as an option upon entering a marriage!
19No, nope, nej, ei!!
20i voted no. for me, that is my choice. i have always seen divorced men as men who are willing to give up on someone that they love. it's just not for me. However, I dont think that this should be the case for everyone. I agree will Julieulie in that it does matter at what stage in life you are in. If all your kids are grown, and you are divorced, and so is the other, go ahead and go with your new love. There are a lot of reasons one can be divorced, so hearing one's story could possibly change my mind.
21No way. That just spells trouble.
22oh no no no no!
23nope never.
its hard to think that way these days since the divorce rate is so high.
but for me maybe cuz of my religious believes it has a stigma to it.
24No way!
Reminds me of this story I read:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/offtopic/chi-odd-husbands,1,6218114.s...
25nope when i get married.. it will be for life
26One divorce isn't a deal breaker, but any more than that would make me seriously consider even dating them. I would have to know the circumstances, both of my parent's were married before they married each other. My mom's husband cheated on her (she walked in on them!) so obviously not her fault! It could be a situation like Ross on Friends lol THREE divorces!
27I dated someone for two years who had been divorced twice. I actually think it made him a better boyfriend because he had been in those relationships. He was very caring but we didn't end up getting married to each other, boo hoo.
28I would be very very hesitant before I decided to marry someone with multiple divorces.
But, like in Friends, Ross was a nice guy who had been married three times, and he still wanted to get married and believed in love, so who knows!
29Highly doubtful.
30i always used to say NO NO NO! But i found a great guy and he's been married twice before. His first one cheated on him and the second he just ran into too fast and for stability only. We've talked about how things are different between us and those relationships he's had. I of course would date someone who's been divorced, i dont judge a mans character based on something like this.
31Though multiple divorces could just mean they haven't found happiness, I still have to question their maturity level. Why keep the same mistakes over and over???
32There could be reasons for multiple divorces i would wait to here why they failed i know from experiece that somrtimes you just mack a bad decision
33i never thought i would but i after i met boyfriend, i began to see there was two sides to every story. he had gotten married on whim when he 18 then he cheated on his wife with who would become his second wife who died 5 years later. when we talk about marriage, it bothers me because i never imagined i would be someones third wife! he likes to call himself ross gellar.
34NO NO NO !!!
35One divorce barely causes a ripple to me, but beyond that I'd have to think long and hard about. But plenty of women don't seem to care. I have a brother who's been married 5 times and is engaged to #6. I'm getting kind of sick of getting him wedding presents.
36I'm on my second marrige. My first husband cheated, did drugs, and was psychologically unfit. He hid these things until after the wedding. He has since passed away. My current husband is the true love of my life. I have known him since I was 19 and I am 31. Everyone wants a forever marrige. This one will be mine!
37it depends if he loves you and you love him i would say yes but only if you take your time to know if he is the one
