    So true. It’s so important to move on afterwards. I divorced my ex husband and it was painful, but I had to remind myself why I was choosing to leave him. Divorce is painful but love afterwards is so worth it. I’m happily married again now and loving the calmness, joy, peace, freedom, trust and the love in this marriage ❤️

    I love that she understands that there is nothing that she could've done, I find the narrative that both people need to always take accountability of their contribution to the demise of the relationship so wrong and unfair

  • @tfa4782
    @tfa4782 Год назад +30

    I think what the guest didnt get from the accountability question will make her fall for another man with the same characteristics as her ex. Accountability sometimes sounds like this: "i contributed by not saying how i felt and expressing myself. I contributed by brushing things off when (this situation and that situation) occured when we were dating. Your role does not mean you did something to someone/ yo partner. Sometimes it means you did something to yourself eg you trivialised yo feelings, worries, concerns or you swept things under the carpet when you should have spoken up. Your partner may also not be able to tell you those things coz usually when we ask "what did i do wrong" they assume you mean something you actively did/ abusive things/ wifely roles neglected etc. Accountability means looking inward to see how, moving forward WE can change the way WE navigate to get a desired outcome.
    This might be a sore example but an abused person is encouraged to take accountability of staying when they were abused multiple times, for giving chances to someone who was not going to change.

      My thoughts exactly, being divorced myself I always say I didn't do anything arrest worthy but there were behaviours I allowed especially in the beginning and couldn't keep up with that. I hope now she has gotten around it and now understands it better , saying you've contributed nothing in a failed relationship is a red flag

  • @ntsoakiphaledi
    @ntsoakiphaledi 3 месяца назад +5

    Only seeing this now. I was married for 20 yrs I was 17yrs old and I would still divorce my ex-husband, we have 2 boys and they took it very hard. My 24yrs old son is now on drugs (crystal) as he tried to deal & hide it for all these years. All this because the father wanted to take a 2nd wife (he had to, according to his ancestors), 7 years later they now have 2 kids together, seems it was worth it. I am also getting married now, I LOVE for my children, but I wish I NEVER met this guy, ever.

    Why are people in the comments saying she is not accountable? I mean if you take a man as a husband his role is to protect and provide for you. Now we live in a generation where we can also provide and be partners but a man’s role is to PROTECT so I don’t get your comments gunning for her to say she was never l Accountable and she ddnt speak up.
    I mean we all speak up at some point but men and husbands need to protect us from their families.❤❤❤❤❤

    • @hlengiwemathenjwa1371
      @hlengiwemathenjwa1371 11 дней назад

      There's always a contribution personally and when I say that I mean when that question is brought up, it is not only what you did but sometimes it's also what you didn't do that contributed....I can pick up one she was not vocal about the hurt her in-laws were putting her in and expected her husband to pick it up....that is a contribution. if you do not speak up about your feelings in anything that's what we call lack of communication....but she couldn't even recognize that contribution...We do not have the power on how people act but you have the power of allowing it or not and that's YOUR responsibility

    Very enlightening conversation, I think this also highlights how societal norms "timelines" can also contribute to premature marriage. When all your friends are getting married and you are feeling left out then you get married ose ready and wind up having to weather the storm of a divorce. Its very unfortunate and like you said Ursula,there are so many cause for divorce its difficult to capture the whole picture in one episode with one guest. But thank you to your guest for coming and sharing, and showing that healing is possible🌸

    I like how she was honest to say she did not do anything wrong; so many a times people are forced to find fault with themselves when a realtionship ends, which is not always the case.

    This one just reminded of how I don't like the way traditional ways of doing things creates certain limitations that don't always work in this day and age. Also...Thandekas story reminded me of the fact that marriage needs or even a relationship needs to be a tight partnership. We need to stay firm in the name of that bond we create with each other when we decide to do this life thing with someone else.

    I believe the reason it’s seemingly more difficult to divorce without a child is because once the divorce is finalized, you no longer have logistics to manage with that person. When a child is present, that person will remain in your life until kingdom come and you’ll have to deal with the fall out of that divorce and it’s ramifications in real time forever because you have this bonding factor. Divorce is tough on everyone but with a child, you can’t cut the chord and move on as seamlessly as you can when there isn’t one.

    I also think the question about contributing to failed relationships is always posed at women and I wonder WHY. With that said, the question that may provide more clarity on this is “what would you have done differently in the marriage?” In that case, Khanyi has already somewhat answered that to say she should have spoken up more initially. Holding a light to yourself does not mean you caused the mess.
    Thanks for sharing your story Khanyi and good luck in love. ❤️

    I just find the idea that there is a lot of people in the streets condescending to our spirit and humanity. Though it's true, but I do not believe we were made to connect with 100 people before one meets the one, actually the thought of even getting to know 10 people let alone having sex with them is beyond me. And life is too short to get to know boyfriend number 150 if he is the one & by that time my spirit would be dead. Connecting with someone is n't child's play. Let's just call a folk a folk, the dating streets are dusty out there & a lot of abnormal staff & I mean staff that should not be happening is happening out there, it's okay to accept it as abnormal, instead of trying to be positive about something dangerous to our 'souls'.
