Two ex-wives? Same here. Who can best us?

I was vague, sorry. I have one ex-wife, but two of my ex-SOs cheated on me. I was counting all of my serious relationships, not just the ones which included marriage.

My Dad has four ex-wives. He can best us.

Sad stories, short version:

Wife #1 (active duty, USAF) started banging some dude in Greenland while we were on simultaneous unaccompanied overseas tours (I was in Korea). Met her on mid-tour leave only to learn she was pregnant and wanted a divorce. Wife #2, a Korean, joined me on another unaccompanied tour to Korea. I moved her there at my own expense, since my household goods were going in storage anyway. Started banging some dude she met while tending bar at the base NCO club.

While I consider the other halves of those two events to be totally without honor and less than human (you just don't do that shit to a fellow serviceman), it never occurred to me to harm them. Wouldn't have done any good for me at all.

Turns out both of those dudes married my ex-wives. Later, each of them left their prize wives for other women.

You make your bed, may as well lie in it and see how it feels.
