In this world, some people stay with their first wives, while others marry remarried wives.
Mr. Smith is one of them. After divorcing his first wife, he married a remarried wife.
When Mr. Smith was with his first wife, he was young and immature, so their relationship became strained and eventually they drifted apart.
Many people are curious about the difference between a man’s first wife and remarried wife.
One day, a friend asked Mr. Smith, and his response was:
The first wife has higher demands.
Mr. Smith told his girlfriend that his first wife had high demands because they were young and had high expectations of each other.
When you have high expectations of each other and try to change for each other before marriage, but things don’t change after marriage, the relationship may suffer.
Marriage doesn’t lower expectations. Mr. Smith felt that both he and his first wife had high expectations of each other, leading to a lack of common ground eventually.
Sometimes, high expectations or one-sided demands in a marriage can cause pressure.
Many people want to marry someone outstanding or a good wife and mother. But in reality, perfection doesn’t exist.
Mr. Smith mentioned that when he remarried, his demands on his wife were not as high. His remarried wife understood his past and didn’t have high demands.
Initially, people have high demands when starting something new, like marriage. But with time, you realize it’s more about self-improvement than expecting changes from others.
When you view your partner with respect and equality, the relationship grows stronger.
The remarried wife is more suitable.
Mr. Smith said that his remarried wife was more suitable for him.
He felt relaxed with his remarried wife, who was gentle at home, unlike his previous wife who would scold him.
When you lack care in a marriage, you may seek it outside. Betrayal often stems from a lack of warmth.
Love is mutual. Understanding and respecting each other lead to a perfect relationship.
Finding a suitable partner is crucial after a divorce. Being with the wrong person leads to torment, but the right person brings responsibility.
Therefore, it’s essential to choose wisely in marriage. Even if you can’t let go, sometimes you must.
Men tend to be rational in relationships. If the first relationship fails, they seek someone more suitable in the next.
The first wife is about love, the remarried wife is about companionship.
Mr. Smith mentioned that being with his first wife was more about love, while with his remarried wife, it was about companionship.
In the first relationship, love was prominent when they were young and in love. But after experiencing the first relationship, love alone isn’t enough in marriage.
People grow and mature with time. Initially, love may lead to marriage, but in the second relationship, longevity becomes crucial.
The first wife may have exhausted a man’s love, making him focus more on practicality in the second marriage.
More tolerance towards the remarried wife.
In the wrong timing, you meet the right person. But sometimes, you fail to cherish them due to immaturity, leading to missed opportunities.
Some people learn to be caring only after failing in their first marriage.
Every failed love teaches you to treat the next one sincerely. So, women tend to believe they can change men in relationships.
In a remarriage, men learn to be more tolerant. Having failed once, they value the new relationship and tread carefully, knowing another failure might leave them with nothing.
The first wife and remarried wife are different. A man may value emotions more in the first but prioritize companionship in the second.
Sometimes, we focus too much on certain aspects, leading to misunderstandings or conflicts. Like sand slipping through fingers, loosening the grip may lead to a smoother journey ahead.
