My 8 Husbands: How I Went From Being Single to Married Eight Times!

Let’s just say, my dating life has been a little different. But hey, that’s why we get to call it a life! As an unconventional woman in a conventional world, I found myself desperate for love and marriage at a young age. So much so that—while still being in high school—I married someone. Eight times! Let me explain… When the average person hears about my unusual marriage experiences, they often assume I must have been “catfished” or victimized by some evil character out there with sinister intentions. However, nothing could be further from the truth. You see, after marrying my high school sweetheart and divorcing him two years later (yep, you read that right), I was cautious as I entered the dating world again… But also eager to find my forever partner sooner rather than later. Thus began my journey of finding eight husbands – each one teaching me important lessons about love and life along the way:

Meet The First Husband: My High School Sweetheart

My first husband was my high school sweetheart. We were dating for about six months when I told him I wanted to get married. I was only 16 at the time, but I knew we were going to be together for the rest of our lives. I wanted to give him the ring I had been saving for since I was a little girl. However, my parents were not pleased. They actually took away my car and grounded me because I was too young to drive. We actually got married at a courthouse, and he was 18 at the time. We were together for two years, and I would definitely say that was a very special and important part of my life. We’ve remained friends and I’ve gotten to see his kids grow up into beautiful, young adults. We have a great relationship, and I’m so glad I got to experience that with him.

Husband #2: The Hustler

My second husband was a very smooth hustler-type who was a few years older than me. We met on a dating app and started dating. After I broke up with him, he began stalking me. He would send me a lot of strange gifts, show up at my work and my parents’ house. He even hacked into my email and social media accounts and changed all my passwords. He was always trying to get me to take him back, but I refused. After I told him I wasn’t interested in being with him, he sent me an email saying he wasn’t going to stop until I agreed to be with him again. I was scared and I didn’t know what to do. I ended up contacting my local sheriff’s office and the stalking was confirmed. He was arrested for stalking and hacking into my accounts.

Husband #3: The Liar

My third husband was a liar. We met online and he told me he was divorced with two children. He said he worked as a software engineer and made a good living. After a couple of months of dating, he proposed to me. I accepted and we set a date for one year later. I quit my job, sold my car and almost depleted my savings in order to help him get his life together. During our engagement, I found out he was still married. When I confronted him about it, he admitted that he had been lying about everything. I ended up breaking off the engagement and I have no contact with him now. It was a very hard experience to go through. Luckily, I was able to get a lot of things back that I invested in the relationship, but it took a while.

Husband #4: The Cheater

My fourth husband was a cheater. He was a very attractive man who worked as a model. We met online, dated for a few months and then he proposed to me. I was excited to get engaged and I wanted to get married right away. But he asked me to wait because he said he wanted to wait until he was done with his current modeling contract. While we were engaged, I found out he was still seeing a couple of other women. His contract ended and he got married to me. Shortly after we got married, he confessed that he had been seeing one of his old girlfriends. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. I had to end my marriage, change my phone number and my email address, and get a restraining order against him.

Husband #5: The Gamer

My fifth husband was a gamer. He played video games all day and night. I was a stay-at-home wife, but he didn’t even ask me if I wanted to get a job. He spent all of his time and money playing online video games. He hardly bought groceries or paid the bills. After a year of marriage, he quit his job and said he was going to make lots of money playing video games. After a year of not working, he quit our utility services, made me quit my job, and stopped buying groceries. He also took out large cash advances on our credit card. He didn’t care that I was hungry or that we didn’t have any food in the house. At that point, it seemed like we were married to different people.

Husband #6: The Abuser

My sixth husband was an abuser. I got married when I was just 20 years old. My husband was 28 at the time, and I thought he was a good guy. He told me about his childhood and how he had been in foster care. I thought he was a good person and that he just had a troubled past. After we got married, we went to visit his family. They were very nice and welcoming. However, two weeks after our honeymoon, he started hitting me. After a few months of living with him, I was so scared of him that I was too afraid to leave our home. At first, I thought I could change him. But after he started abusing my son and threatening to take him away from me, I knew I had to get out of there. I called the police and they arrested him. I filed a restraining order against him and got divorced.

Husband #7: The Father Figure

My seventh husband was a father figure. He was in his 40s and had never been married or had kids. He seemed like a nice guy. After we dated for a few months, he proposed to me and we got married. However, after we were married for a few years, it became obvious that he wasn’t ready to be a husband or a father. Because he wasn’t ready to be a parent, he didn’t want the responsibility of paying child support. He decided to break up with me and pay me off to keep the money away from my son. He didn’t want to pay child support. He wanted me to sign a contract and agree to never talk to my son again.

And Final husband, number 8: My Soulmate

My eighth and final husband was the love of my life. We met online, dated for a few months, then broke up. After a few months of being apart, we got back together and have been together ever since. He is my soulmate and the best thing that’s ever happened to me. He is kind, loving and a great father to my son. He also supports me in all of my crazy adventures. He is the best husband I could ever ask for and I’m grateful that I got a second chance at love.

Conclusion

My dating life has been very different than most people’s, that’s for sure! I’ve experienced a lot of heartbreak and disappointment, but I’ve also learned a lot about myself and about love along the way. My advice for people who are looking for love is to be patient with the process. Love will find you when you’re ready for it, not when you’re ready for love. And don’t be afraid to try new things, because you never know who you’ll meet.
