"I think I'd be better in a second marriage because I'm older. I was my ex-husband's second wife. He's on his third. Seems happier. I'm still looking for who I'll spend my golden ticket (the golden years) on. We were very young, grew up together, in that marriage. Now I know what I want and need out of a partner"
