Divorced After 20 Years Together, Remarried After 1 Month Apart

By Alex in Everything Else on Jan 2, 2010 at 2:34 pm

After 20 years being married, Jan and Lee Jones decided to get divorced. A month later, they decided that they though married life was tough, they couldn’t live apart … so they got remarried!

They decided to separate after nearly 20 years of marriage in January 2009.

Mr Jones said: "We had a lot of problems, like money problems, me working and Jan doing all the work at home, relying on friends to help take the children to school. We tried to make it work but we couldn’t. We thought we would get divorced and see what happened. I moved out and got a room and I was coming around seeing the children every time I could."

The pair stayed amicable for the sake of their kids and were in constant phone and text contact.

Mr Jones said: "I’m used to the children and Jan being around me and being on my own was like something was missing out of my life. We were texting each other and ringing and I was coming around all the time. It was the worst time of my life."

    This doesn’t strike me as too exceptional. I suspect it happens a lot. Maybe not in terms of the length of the marriage, but I at least hold out hope that a lot of ill-conceived divorces don’t last long.

    And they couldn’t have figured this out with just a trial separation?

    Hope they didn’t expect to receive a lot of gifts/money from the guests.

    In BC, you have to be separated for a year before you can file for divorce. I guess this is why.

    I agree… they couldn’t figure this out by just seperating??

    That’s because with his ugly mug he couldn’t land a younger, thinner hottie. Guess he will have to settle for the fatty wife.

    What a true gentleman you are, Mr. Bigglesworth. I think I speak for all women when I say that I dream of finding a man like yourself one day.
