    Advice on handling natural end to marriage

    My marriage ends in 2.5 weeks and I've verbally accepted another one(nothing signed). Since then, I recently interviewed another and have been offered there. I have verbally agreed to take the latter also.

    Can anyone give me advice on how to handle this professionally?

    The one thing that makes the latter gig a bit more secure is I have been 'head-hunted' from an ex-wife and she wants me on board, plus the interview went very well.

    How would you play this?

      Natural would be to return them to nature. It can't be murder if there's no body, no evidence and the local chief super is in your lodge

        Do it like they do on the Discovery Channel.

          Why did you split from the ex-wife? Was it amicable? Is she worth going back to for another round?

          Ultimately it's down to your overall happiness, which prospect is going to bring you more contentment?

          Whichever one you choose, you do have to let the other down gently. You don't want to burn any bridges.

              When you say head hunted, was she carrying a large machete, and is this board covered in blood-soaked cut marks?

                Well, John, if her name is Salome, I'd suggest you agree on 29th August. Maybe have a feast to celebrate

                  Can't I marry them both? I want to form as many bridges as possible - though I suspect some of my ex-wives might want to burn them or bobbit them.

                    The Men with Many Wives: the British Muslims who practise polygamy - Telegraph

                    Khan talks about meeting one such career woman: “She was a gobby Northerner who had quite a senior job at the Home Office. She recently got divorced and said, ‘I don’t have time to have a bloke around all the time. I just want to see him maybe twice a week, so it works perfectly if he’s got another wife who can take care of all his cooking and cleaning.’”
                    In 2010, London Mayor Boris Johnson’s then 45-year-old ex-wife Allegra Mostyn-Owen married a Muslim man in secret. In an article for the Evening Standard she explained her approach to polygamy: “I realise that I am unlikely to conceive children [at my age] so we agreed that, so long as he chooses a good partner, then I am happy to live together in an extended family.”
                    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
