Now, with my position, remarriage to another after a divorce is always a sin. Therefore, if one finds that they cannot contain and reconcile with their ex, one must always approach God with a contrite spirit, confessing the sin, and weakness to attain God's forgiveness and favor. It's the same approach for everyone regardless of the grounds of the previous divorce.

If your ex-spouse has no interest in reconciling, then Paul's admonition about marrying to avoid sexual sin comes into play. It is still better to marry than to burn.
