This was her second...and my first marriage. I am a bit of a fixer and have learned a lot of things about the commitment and expectations on various levels that I originally brought into the marriage. That being said i know I am not the co-dependent, nor dependent, in the relationship...but I do know I miss being married (even if I sent the other message while married) and a significant part of a family. As to the statistics, did you know/have you seen, that of the some 60% of second marriages, if they are marrying their ex, they have a 74% of making it successful.
