03: From “I do” to “I don’t”: Reflections on Marriage, Divorce and Growth
Manage episode 413867455 series 3555813
Once upon a time, I was married. In this episode, I openly share my personal journey through said past marriage, the lessons learned, and the path to personal growth and self-discovery that followed.
Take a trip back in time, as I recount the relationship’s evolution, from meeting my ex-husband in my early twenties to the gradual realization of our growing apart.
I aim to highlight the importance of communication, aligning on values, and understanding each other's expectations. From my own naivete to the red flags to differing views on having children, each stone (or the most prominent ones I remember) that led to divorce is turned over.
In the end, I ponder the importance of learning from past relationships, making informed choices about partners, and the liberation found in prioritizing self-awareness and personal development.
While not every romance ends up a happy fairytale, surely we can grow from each experience, right? Tune in to hear all the bits.
In this episode:
- Marriage is what gathers us here today
- The early days and red flags (the hidden tobacco chewing)
- The ol’ cliche: “We grew apart”
- Feeling societal pressure as the divide deepens
- Communication breakdowns and mismatched values
