So somebody you know decides to get married again, do you attend the wedding or simply send a card congratulaing them? I understand if one was a widow, then there would be no question on attending the wedding.
A friend I've grown up with and occassionally keep in contact with has a history of being in crappy relationships one after another with men. Even her recent marriage was short-lived.
It'd be a tough decision to make, on one hand I want to be supportive. Then on the other, it's hard sitting back watching someone I care about who keeps repeating similar patterns in relationships that eventually end up in flames.
according to some. it means your friend is an expert on relationships

really all you can do is mind your business, some people have to learn 3, 4, 5 times before they look at themselves (the common denominator) or even realize there is an issue there.
Why would you send an insincere card congratulating her on something you disapprove of so strongly?
I haven't been in that situation yet. My husband did tell a friend that we would not go to the wedding if he married his mean, crazy girlfriend, but that was marriage #1 and he didn't go through with it.

That's a possibility. Yes, I do mind my own business.

Sometimes, its just easier to shut my mouth and bear with it. Only she can change her relationship pattern. My friend seeks out men she think can be "rescued" and changed. She hasn't realized that yet.

Really, whatever you are comfortable and can tolerate without throwing up is what you do.
I'm on marriage number 3 but things changed drastically about me by me after my second divorce.
I took a good look in the mirror and knew I was a bigger part of the problem than my husband's (ex) were and it was mainly because I married the wrong guy for me.
Great guys, stable, responsible, but not the right guy for me because of other personality traits they had that did not exactly mesh with my personality traits.
