My brother is just about to marry his 4th wife. He feels that marriages 1, 2, and 3 failed mostly because of the deficiencies of wives 1, 2, and 3. He just chose badly, that's all. He admits to having made some mistakes of his own, but appears to brush those mistakes off as having been caused by the ways in which wives 1, 2, and 3 failed him. Ugh. Needless to say, none of the rest of us have quite the rosy expectations for upcoming marriage #4 that he has.
People certainly can learn from their mistakes. I have been happily married to my second husband for 20 years now. But I'd say my brother is a perfect example of a person who learns nothing from the failure of a marriage.
My husband is ten years younger than me, and we're coming up on our 20th anniversary. We are just a couple who love each other. I certainly would not think of myself as a 'cougar'. Not my style at all.
