"That's when I knew, I had to get out" | Real Divorce Stories | Happily Ever Maybe | Episode 2

[@catherinn.951]

The golden nugget I learnt from this interview was the mention of falling into abusive relationships as a result of a divorce. The need for affection, the love bombing, the danger also of it too. It never occurred to me nor has anyone ever mentioned this possibility. Edit: on the topic related to the bank accounts and condo she bought, it may have been good to provide some best practices from you, from a legal standpoint. The implications of such moves, so we learn a few things too

It's amazing how a man decides he no longer wants to be with someone he's been with for over 10 years, and instead chooses to be with a new woman. She's fighting to save their relationship while he's already moved on. It's like he's able to invest his energy into this new woman instead of the mother of his child. I say he’s the selfish person.

[@Mary-zo4rx]

We don't know all the nuances of this relationship, she didn't say everything ofc not, she is not perfect either, they travel a lot and they probably didn't have as much time together, but I agree seems selfish but she definitely played a part in it which we will never know how because that's their personal life.

[@user-em5yz3ix8p]

Yes, but she also put her son in a bad situation. I've seen 1st hand how woman will move on like this with bad men. The difference is when there are kids involved. That man is showing her son how to be husband/father. I'd say she is also selfish for not staying single until her son was much older or out of the house.

[@vaccinatedanti-vaxxer]

Agreed its wrong when either the husband and wife does it. 70 to 80 percent of divorce is by the wife.

[@itsjstjane]

How about a woman taking accountability for marrying a man who didn’t like them. I see it as many men marry for practicality when they are struggling and getting their life together. Her inability to discern real love from a person using you is your own fault. Can’t blame people for using you when you allow yourself to be used.

[@rpaafourever7908]

@@itsjstjane lol so a woman's at fault if she cheats but also if she doesn't? These type of men reel you in, no one shows their true face from day one. That's why women have stopped caring.. like think what you want most people are insecure anyway

[@Lczzy]

The person you fall in love with is not the person you 'divorce'/separate from. And he is not an honest good person. I think prenups and cohabitation agreements are more acceptable these days.

[@tamikaali]

Thank you for this series!! I follow you on IG.. This definitely is soo good to share. You’re such a gracious host. Your guests story is so moving I resonated with this story

[@LindaTinahTV]

First time here and totally enjoyed how smooth it was listening to this exchange. I'm hooked.

[@YHWHWILLBEDONE]

I think it would be cool to have both sides of the story!

[@elliellieelliee]

I agree!!!

[@Nandinandito]

Abusive people aren't picky. If a guy can only be abusive towards less attractive girls, then they will be.

[@dakishimete-_-]

Great concept, great guest, great host.

[@elliellieelliee]

Buying property with someone is almost worse than the marriage tie 😅

[@samanthap.879]

Great podcast 👍

[@youreincredible1648]

Oh its good to know everyone gets the same share regardless of home much was put in.

[@user-em5yz3ix8p]

Interesting story. I wonder what his son will grow up to be like?

[@saraliburd7752]

Nope-I was in an abusive situation during the pandemic-hell

[@CM-cy3qo]

I did not hear any accountability or responsibility from the woman.

[@missleadingbunny]

I want to thank her for coming online and telling her story. She was in a vulnerable place at that time. It’s not an easy thing to do to open up to the public like this. The one thing I would disagree with her on is at 1:00:00 I would not want to combine finances with a very new partner. I don’t think most people are aware or realize how important finances are to a person. That is a huge step and I don’t think it should be taken as lightly as society makes it out to be.

[@saraliburd7752]

Love bombing is not passionate-it’s manipulative and intentional

[@minzzles]

The way I thought this was margarita omg

[@netizencane3717]

6:20, so he expressed that he FELT her “trying” seemed fake and that was enough for her to throw in the towel? If she was behaving out of character, even if it was in service of the marriage, it MIGHT feel strange or even fake to him at first and he should be able to say so in a therapists office. Something tells me he couldn’t tell her any of his feelings ever. Not an excuse to cheat, but not surprising that the marriage failed if they couldn’t have tough conversations or share real feelings.

[@michaellin5419]

🔥🔥

[@saraliburd7752]

Nope-I was in an abusive situation during the pandemic-he’ll

[@kylemchynn9376]

Sorry to say this but the ex husband seems to be a very selfisg person, very eager to get rid of her and get on with his life.

[@lolaWWEWWFpunk]

실례지만.... 여자친구 있으세요? ㅋㅋㅋ ❤

[@FinjblTte]

I despise who say ------You are young to marry for almost 30 year old ------relationship run its course (todays new phenomenas)

[@fineway7053]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5jde5-getZne9E it's cope. if your take away insight is that "very high level, smart, intelligent, amazing women" are the ones who are for some reason at higher risks for abuse or being abused than any other demographic then you are attempting to self validate a bad situation. which is necessary, sometimes, but putting that out as a rationale is wild. and potentially wildly harmful.
