I have an Aunty who has been married three times and has had three boyfriends post her third divorce. She married her first husband when she was 19, and he was all right, but he was just a bit young. She married her second husband when she was 25, and she wanted children, but he didn't. He left. Her third husband came to the house to measure for curtains and fly screens and he moved in that night. He was divorcing his first wife and she had two daughters to her third husband. She is older but she doesn't become any wiser. She's now got a guy who's a drunk and not a pleasant person.
I asked my father what he thought was missing in her life, and he said that she seems to think that she needs a man to make her happy, but she doesn't give any thought to the right man.
I believe that people should have a break between relationships as you aren't the same person after a relationship as you were before you entered it or while you were in it.
