I'm never getting remarried. I'll just find a woman that already hates me and give her my house.

If you are looking for a more mature woman - there is one available:

Never been married, so she will not be set in her ways....

WHY would anyone want tooooooo!!!!!!
That would be like getting out of prison after 40 years, and stealing a pack of gum at K-Mart!!!!
My dad did. He and his wife are celebrating their 30th anniversary next month and his 80th birthday the month after. My brother and my father got married the same year (1979). :)

My wife and I are both on our second marriages. She was 52 when we married. I was 42.
Close but no cigar. I married wife #2 (the best :love:) when I was 47.
Anybody remarry at 50?
Sure, but no one would have me.

Daren't get rid of the one I have had for 35 years. No-one else would put up with me spending so much on the bikes.

We just celebrated our 5th anniversary, I was 44 when we hitched. In my case, the second time is much better.

I was divorced at 30 and have been happily unmarried for 28 years. Way too set in my ways to ever consider marriage again. I like the freedom I have and I just have to clean up after my self. No picking up my husband's soiled undies and bath towels or having to explain where I am or going all the time. Not that I am soured on marriage mine you... but really like my life the way it is. Less time spent having to pick up and wash soiled undies, more time for cycling! It's a good thing! :thumb:

I know of 4 friends (all undergraduate classmates now around 60), one of whom married for the first time in his early-50's, 2 others married for the second time in their mid-50s (both these guys became fathers of twin daughters from the second marriages in their late 50s) and the last guy got married in his late 50s for the third time. So, yes you can marry, remarry and re-remarry after 50 and continue to be alive active in all the right places - even if you are not a celebrity.

We're not all like that, ya know, Pamestique. I remarried at 48 myself. I hear you about the cycling time though...but on the other it was my wife who got me into cycling, so it's all good.

Got it right the first time, 35 years ago. But my father remarried at 75, after my mother died, and had nine good years with my stepmother. Only thing he didn't like was people saying, "You're 75 and you're getting married? How cuuuuute."

I remarried at 42 and that's it for me. I hope to stay married for the rest of my life, but if for any reason I ever find myself single again, I'll stay that way.

Be Careful not to marry a widow when you re-marry.
A man walks out to the street and catches a taxi just going by. He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, 'Perfect timing. You're just like Frank.'
Passenger: 'Who?'
Cabbie: 'Frank Feldman. He's a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time.'
Passenger: 'There are always a few clouds over everybody.'
Cabbie: 'Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy.'
Passenger: 'Sounds like he was something really special.
Cabbie: 'There's more.. He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman, he could do everything right'
Passenger: 'Wow, some guy then.'
Cabbie: 'He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too - He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman.'
Passenger: 'An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?'
Cabbie: 'Well, I never actually met Frank, he died and I married his widow.'

don't worry about it, I reread some of the things I post early in the am and I can't even understand what I wrote
...happily unmarried for 28 years...No picking up my husband's soiled undies...Less time spent having to pick up and wash soiled undies...
The underwear thing seems to be an "issue". Perhaps a guy who goes comando might suit?

I came up with several clever responses for this, but any one of them would get me banned from the forums. :o

I'm My Own Grandpa
( Lonzo & Oscar )
It sounds funny, I know,
But it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa.
I'm my own grandpa.
I'm my own grandpa.
It sounds funny, I know,
But it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa.
Now many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three,
I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her, and soon they, too, were wed.
This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life,
My daughter was my mother, cause she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy,
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad,
And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother.
Father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run,
And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue,
Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandmother, too.
Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild,
And everytime I think of it, it nearly drives me wild,
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!
I'm my own grandpa.
I'm my own grandpa.
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa.
