The BSWC was formed by Linda Mellor in response for the need for a British-based Club to assist second wives, whether married or not, through the ups and downs of living with a man with a history!

The British Second Wives Club
 
Linda, who Founded The BSWC in March 2005, says:
 
"I now understand how a second wife can be driven to distraction by his jealous ex, who is unable to get over him and to move on with her life."
 
 
 
 
 
 

3 yrs old! The BSWC was launched on March 1st 2005 and has hundreds of Picture of flowersMembers who have found support and friendship from others in the same position.

We also have Members who are wives of widowers.  Many of our Members who have step children have had to deal with court applications, enforcement of court orders, parental alienation, dealing with the CSA and their assessments, CAFCASS and Social Workers, conflicting advice from solicitors, education, and health issues just to name a few.
The British Second Wives Club ForumsAt the heart of The BSWC The British Second Wives Club are the very friendly Forums and chat room, which we believe are the busiest, most informative and most secure forums of their kind in The UK. 
 
Stop Press! The BSWC now has a brand new Chat Room: one click and you've in and chatting with other British Second Wives.
 
Free competitions!
The BSWC runs very regular free-to-enter competitions.  So far this year, members have won more than 40 items of jewellery, personalised caricatures and gift vouchers for Boots, M&S and other similar shops.  Another reason to join The BSWC today!
 
Have you ever felt alone, misunderstood?
 
The BSWC understands your situation and you'll never be alone again.  Many of The BSWC Members know what it is like living with a man with a history.  Does his past interfere with your present?  We understand what it is like to live with a man with baggage!  Often there are stepchildren thrown into the pot (through no fault of their own) which causes extra chaos. 
 
 
If your man has a past, many of you will identify with the articles below, which were written for us by Members of The BSWC:

Season of Goodwill?
Not if you are with a man who is divorced!
 
Christmas isn’t the season to be jolly with some ex-wives and goodwill isn’t extended to divorced dads or ex-husbands.  Christmas can be a very fraught time for families, especially so in second marriages when the festivities demand multiple arrangements to be made with ex-spouses to accommodate Father Christmas, children and step-children....read more

The British Second Wives Club supported Breakthrough Breast Cancer by auctioning The Gina Shoes used in the photo shoot for the cover of novel "The Second Wives Club" by Jane Moore during May 2006.  We raised £320.00 which was donated to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.  Click here for details
 
 
Let's meet!
 
Great fun get-togethers!  The BSWC holds an annual Christmas Party and a Summer BBQ, as well as many local get-together organised by the Members themselves.  Members often meet over a coffee or a glass of wine in their local area and many say it is like meeting old friends.  Many new, strong friendships have blossomed in this way and, because we vet all new Members carefully, you know you will be safe meeting others for the first time.

The British Second Wives Club"I was at the end of my tether when I found The BSWC and wondering how I could go on but now I know I am not alone.
