I want to know the answer to this! My exhusband and I have been separated/divorced for 20 months now. He has been showing me and our 3 year old daughter that he has been making some changes. He has been the one traveling to our house to visit us and hasn't called me any names or gotten physically abusive with me for a few months now. He just started counseling again because he said that he had an emotional break down because I wasn't responding to his changes. Now, he has another woman involved and says that he doesn't know what to do. He loves me but really likes her and is curious. He said that I hurt him so badly by not giving him any attention these past few months. Is he trying to gain control of me again or is he really hurt? Can he really be a changed person with someone else? He has/had all the classic signs of an abuser. Confused in WI...someone please answer! My opinion is that humans are creatures of habit. I don't think you should trust your ex-husband. From my experience, abusers are able to modify their behavior, but it's only for a short period of time. I wouldn't believe that he is a changed man. I do believe in therapy, but after years, and I'm not sure that's even healthy for the abuser or the abused to enter a relationship again. It sounds like you know that your ex-husband is an abuser and that you shouldn't believe him. Trust your instincts.
We cannot speak for all abusive men, but we assume that most of them know that they are abusers. Abusive men tend to come from abusive homes, and the behavior may seem normal to them. Others may feel that such behavior is their right. Most of them know the law, but when rage strikes, the law often doesn't mean much.
A "cousin by marriage" is not your blood relative. That would be accepted in most jurisdictions but you need to check the laws in yours.
Such a person would be your second cousin, and in most places marriage between second cousins is legal.
Then you are a bigamist, which is a felony in most states. Also, your second marriage is of no effect. You can only be married to one person at a time in the US.
ANSWER:Absolutely, even those who have a perfect relationship or marriage.
In most jurisdictions, the second marriage is null and void, as though it never happened. You cannot get married if you already are; so while the couple may have taken their vows, the marriage in fact did not occur. Even if the divorce on the first marriage later comes through, the second marriage is null and void.
Yes, in most places you can marry your second cousin. However, some people and some cultures are uncomfortable with such a marriage. All the States in the US allow the marriage of 2nd cousins. A number of states allow the marriage of 1st cousins. From religious point of view, most religions do not forbid it. Christianity, Judaism and Islam say nothing about the prohibition of first cousins marrying let alone second cousins.
I would say his marriage to Nancy was the most important. Second was probably his election as president.

Marie Osmond's adopted children were the biological children of her second husband from a previous marriage.
Arkansas (along with most states) does not recognize common law marriage. The only exception to that would be if you previously lived in another state that did recognize common law marriage (again, most states don't) and you were considered common law married in that state, and you then later moved to Arkansas.
