I would go with your first instinct. I would say though that if you are considering a future marriage that you pray for guidance. My first marriage years ago lasted 6 1/2 years and was horrific. I was single and celibate for 18 years before remarrying. In the end, loneliness got to me.

I was married at 17 and divorced at 24. Then had a 35 year life of being a single and got remarried at 59. I was a much better person and a better wife at 59 than I ever was at 17-24. Sometimes a little intermission is a good thing.
It's up to you to decide what you want to do and pray for guidance from God as He will never put you on the wrong path.

How long ago was this? I don't blame you for speaking in generics on a public internet forum, but if "a series of unfortunate events" is what you tell yourself as well; it may well be feeding into your fears about facing marriage again because if things are due to luck and fortune then there's nothing you can do to improve your chances of the next marriage going better.
So is your goal to find people who will tell you its ok to stay single if you don't want to marry again, or is your goal to find people who can understand and help you think through your concerns and fears so that you find the courage to attempt another marriage? (Or feel free to create your own third option)

I can understand that. My ex did a runner shortly after the separation. I did not see my children for 15 years. God had cleansed my heart from all unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment by that time. I found them by a miracle. When I saw my ex again, it was emotionally neutral, as if she was just an acquaintance that bumped into. I rarely see them as they live a long way off.
I have not remarried. It does not bother me. I have a lady friend. I'd marry her if she would accept, but that's not likely any time soon. We are the best of friends and I've known her since 1983.
One important step in the healing process is to forgive yourself. The blood of Christ has paid for your part in the bust up. So God has forgiven you. Let Him help you to forgive yourself as well as others who have hurt you. I had a list. My ex, of course, and the people I thought of as friends and brethren. Some of the reactions were just salt in the wounds.
You will find help in this article. It's quite long, but the principles saved me much sorrow and grief in my situation.

well if that person died in the end...you cant remarry them...
But you could marry someone else.
Otherwise, the only real option is to forgive them. Dont die bitter or ruin your next marriage by saying well my first marriage was aboslutely horrible can you do it better?
I just think when people are young they tend to do stupid things they arent really ready for, including getting married.
