Eat, Pray, Love - Divorce Scene

[@irodam8905]

Does anyone else notice how her husband still had his ring on even though they were going through divorce? And she did not have her ring. Felt so bad for him, he wasn’t figured out, but he was a good guy.

[@jalitoz]

Well, not really a good guy. He took everything and left her without nothing. She started traveling with the book that she was going to write.

[@Ann-ut6jv]

@@jalitoz Not only that, he wanted a share of royalty from her FUTURE books too!! He was looking for a PARENT not wife.

[@albertwesker8883]

​@@jalitozif that's the case, then are women who take everything divorce also bad people? It was women who pushed alimony laws but don't want to pay when they are the spouse that makes more

[@pikachuuprising637]

​@@jalitozWomen do that all the time. Is it right to call them evil? Also she cheated on him something she confessed in another piece.

[@dorthy739]

I did...yes it pulled at my heartstrings. Marriage is a serious commitment, but people should not live unhappy.

[@spoonesi7937]

When I saw him cry I had to cry too. That was the face of a man who has a broken heart.

[@meowkris]

I agree. I couldn't help but feel sad for him. Divorce is the death of a marriage and this is scene is really sad.

[@Carousel5883]

"Have a dream, Steven! Great! Fine! Do that, just pick one!" "Okay I pick one, I pick YOU!" 🥺😫😭 I would have absolutely stayed married!!

[@soulsurfer639]

It's nice to know there are some decent women left. At least try to work on the marriage first

[@froyaceleen]

I have not watched the movie but my interpretation is that your spouse is not your dream. He NEEDED her which means he wasn’t whole. He loved her but couldn’t live without her. 2 halves can make a whole but when separated you’re left half empty. She didn’t want to be half empty anymore, and being whole means pouring and pouring into the people who are half empty. Just a thought 💭✨

[@pisto30]

I think Liz admitted at some point that she was the problem because she did want to really find herself and that meant leaving her marriage. So sad.

[@soulsurfer639]

Couldn't she "find herself" while remaining married? He was obviously in love with her and I'm sure he'd be okay with her traveling to Bali or Nepal or wherever...

[@2EKgn16]

​@@soulsurfer639 No, she couldn't. She knew she and he were not great together while he kept hanging on...

[@albertwesker8883]

She only admitted she was the problems years later after making him think he was the issue. A lot of women do this type of gaslighting in breakups, blame the man when in reality she just wants to be single again

[@albertwesker8883]

​@@soulsurfer639"find herself" usually just means have sex with other people

[@pikachuuprising637]

​@@2EKgn16she couldn't cause she was a narcissist.

[@2EKgn16]

People/society keeps forcing and shoving one way of life at us but it's not the same for all. Not everybody wants to settle down and have kids, not everybody wants to run single and loose in the streets. Not every couple wants children OR to get married. Not every woman is meant to be a mother, or wife, or housewife, or career woman, or CEO of a company, etc. Everybody's journey is different. Sometimes we want something and change our mind along the journey. We need to respect other people's choices (whether we agree or not) and focus on our own.

[@AudreyBedene]

But she did it. And they have built a home. For an entire year. Why?! Poor guy. Some people just don't get commitments in life. Just ... Oportunities.

[@user-to6wd3nb3t]

[@julianburr2750]

Billy Crudup did a great job in this scene.

[@alexisflowers5069]

there's multiple reasons for two people too not be right for each other anymore, if you find your self constantly reciting why you should stay maybe it's time to leave. don't stay in the ring if your the only one fighting

[@jonmunyon128]

Or be a better judge of character before deciding to marry the person. But that would require self-responsibility and ownership over a stupid decision and the appraisal of why that stupid decision was made in the first place, something our culture largely seems adverse to.

Imagine being caged, but not an hour, or not caged outside, caged in a room, with nothing, it felt that way. Read the book.

No she wasnt selfish , worst, She was a psycho bitch that didnt know what she want in life, bipolar as I express this before and being bipolar is not a bad thing just that her was the worst kind that hurt ppl in the long run that she didnt deserve i bet if she had a violent husband kicking her ass everyday she be there till death do them apart.

[@jonmunyon128]

The message: keep disposing of people until you find that fleeting Utopian idea/person who will, in actuality, never really meet that idea of fulfillment you're looking for either. It's rubbish, but for the "modern empowered woman" it was, of course, hailed as a great cinematic triumph.

[@Bragglord]

'Cinematic triumph'? Lol, maybe in some women's book meetings or coffee clubs, on the whole it's panned as a trashy romcom. Reviewers like Kermode hated it and it has an IMDb score of less than 6/10. On that, we can be thankful.

It's sad, but when movies like this one empower women do ''not commit'' with anything in life, they will experience a harsh reality such as Liz. Moving on from one person to the next and never finding perfection isn't going to make you happy...

[@jowilkes4221]

It might make some people happy. I live like that and people describe my life as being enviable.

[@anime-tm6dh]

Wow, what a way to ‘mansplain’ to women how they should live their life 🙄

[@user-ve5ln5le9y]

☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻THIS. Why am I not surprised there are men here criticizing a woman who realizes she’s not happy. Men don’t commit all the time. There shouldn’t be a double standard against women.

[@vlad-igor]

@@jowilkes4221 actually most people envy people that have stability, a stable life where everything is harmonious and lovely. Only when you don't find peace or serenity is where you go around jumping from one place to another, I envy people that are so stable, and everything they do goes to plan and accordingly. It's just wonderful. I've seen many that have jump from one person to another, proclaiming that they're happy doing it, but they don't even seem happy about life. Truth is everyone wants that peaceful life but when you don't get what you want, so you're going to move on finding what fits, that's why jumping around or moving around is in a way a sign of running from chaos, always running like water in rivers until they fine calm waters where they can settle down. Like river they flow until they find the ocean to settle down. Most people want that peaceful life, that's the most enviable life for everyone. To just have everything going so perfectly fine. The only reason one would move is because the heart haven't settled so they keep searching for it, searching for peace.

[@jowilkes4221]

Some of us are free spirits and that is ok :) Eat, Pray, Love helped me to realise that I don't have to do the whole married with children thing. Each to their own.

[@jaderoselee8554]

Stupid movie. She betrayed him. You don't just divorce if you're unhappy or on a whim. You work things out. Next time be sure about forever after BEFORE you get married!

Codependency is hard to discover, but a very harmful trait to discover you embody.

[@blancasuave6658]

I’m curious as to what made you use the word codependent

[@soulsurfer639]

When you say "codependent" do you mean being in love with your wife and not wanting divorce because she wants to "find herself" aka sleep with strange men

[@2EKgn16]

​@@soulsurfer639 That's her perogative, her choice. You have a choice to move on and move forward into a better situation. Let her go so she doesn't drag you down or drag out the inevitable. You can love a person all you want, they don't have to love you back and if they want to find themself away from you, if they want to sleep with all the men or women in the country...let them go.
