clearing the deck - the marriage status thread

Reminds me of a musician who was on Conan one time being asked about his recent fourth marriage, saying (without a hint of sarcasm) "I'm not afraid to love."
I'm not sure I heard that exact thing but I know I've heard other men say something like that (heck, it could have even been a line in a TV show or something), and the fact that it's being said in seriousness is all kinds of messed up and indicates that, no, you are not gonna be "the one".
