"Getting serious with a man who&amp;amp;#8217;s been engaged before--or know a gal who is? Then you&amp;amp;#8217;ll want to read this. Pro: He can commit. If he proposed to someone in the past, the dude clearly doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t fear commitment. So if marriage is your priority, you&amp;amp;#8217;re likely in luck (unless his last experience turned him off marriage totally). Con: He may be willing to commit too quickly. Lots of factors could&amp;amp;#8217;ve broken the engagement, but it&amp;amp;#8217;s possible that your man proposed before the relationship had made it to the next level. And he may move too fast again. On the other hand&amp;amp;#133; Pro: He may be a lot surer before he proposes again. If he feels like he made a mistake in the past, he&amp;amp;#8217;ll do several gut checks pre-proposal. Con: It may take him longer to propose. Since he may feel like he rushed the first time, he may wait (and wait) until he&amp;amp;#8217;s 110% sure you&amp;amp;#8217;re the woman he wants to marry. Pro: His family will be happy he&amp;amp;#8217;s found someone new and wonderful. After the last dud, they may welcome a great girl like you with open arms. Con: They may be suspect of you since the last one didn&amp;amp;#8217;t work out. Expect some grilling from Mom, Dad, and siblings too because they want to make sure you&amp;amp;#8217;re the real deal. Pro: He knows how to save for and buy an engagement ring. If he did it once, he can do it again (especially if the ex returned the engagement ring). Con: You&amp;amp;#8217;ll always know that he proposed before. Maybe this is no big deal to you. Great! But if it bothers you that you won&amp;amp;#8217;t be the first girl he&amp;amp;#8217;ll ask to marry, you have to get over it or that proposal won&amp;amp;#8217;t be the happy moment you deserve. Would you marry a guy who was engaged before? Are you currently seeing someone who was? Any other pros or cons to marrying a formerly engaged man?
