She said after 10 sessions of couples therapy with herself: “I realized that my sologamous marriage was a process of healing and self-discovery.”
Influencer Suellen Carey has called it quits in her marriage … to herself.
After making headlines last year when she married herself, in a practice known as sologamy, she apparently came to the realization that her marriage was not working.
“I realized that self-analysis and reflection is essential,” Suellen told The Mirror.
“It’s crucial to know when to end a cycle. Even commitment to oneself can have its challenges, such as dealing with the expectation of being perfect for yourself all the time,” she added.
Originally from Brazil, the 36-year-old influencer — who lives in London — even went to couples therapy alone to do everything she could to try and make her one-sided marriage last.
Ultimately, she admitted she felt lonely at times and is now willing to give monogamy a go.
“I realized I was putting a lot of pressure on myself and that sometimes left me exhausted,” she explained, adding that she has no regrets about her decision to marry herself. “I understood that even in a marriage with ourselves, it’s important to accept our imperfections.”
Despite her 10 sessions with a therapist to try and push through the issues she found within her marriage, her only option was divorce.
“I realized that my sologamous marriage was a process of healing and self-discovery,” she continued. “But I also understood that personal growth can lead us in different directions.”
