When most women think of meeting the one and walking down the isle, they usually imagine that their betrothed is doing it for the first time. So, when a woman falls in love with a man who has been married once before, it can be a bit jarring for the fantasy in her head. Being a second wife can be a great thing, though! Many men get married far too young, and only figure out who they are, what they want out of a partner and what they want out of their life after getting a divorce. Marrying a man who has been previously married doesn’t have to mean marrying an embittered man—it could mean marrying a man who is more stable and secure in himself than most men. There are, however, a few things you need to be prepared for if you’re going to be a man’s second wife.

He may want to marry fast

Don’t be put off if things are going great with your divorced man, and he’s ready to marry within a year. Sometimes divorced men learn so much about themselves and what they need in a partner from their first marriage, that they know it when they see it.

He may be friends with his ex

Ex-spouses stay friends often. They have a lot of connections, common friends, common financial advisors, shared landscapers and house keepers. You should be impressed if your man can keep it amicable with his ex. It probably guarantees he was never abusive to her.
