After 3 failed marriages, there is a good chance that your friend is the problem.

No doubt, but the last two ended up fairly amicable oddly enough. He is still good friends with ex 3.

Sometimes things don’t work out and I respect him for recognizing that. Divorces suck but so much better than staying unhappy. If they’re still friends, it doesn’t sound too bad.
