There's nothing unhealthy about maintaining respect, consideration and love for each other - I think it should be a goal for all divorced/separated couples. Thanks for sharing your story.
this is so incredibly vulnerable and mature. You had me weeping. So happy that you decided to make your own channel and videos. I was hoping we’d get to see more of you after the first episode of Rachel uncensored that you were on. You feel familiar and it’s nice to watch someone so real. I look forward to more videos :)
That skit is a MASTERPIECE. Reminded me of classic RUclips. But I really am glad that that hurt is in a place you can joke about it. I super respect that y’all are still friends. Also ‘No one owes you the promise of never changing’ is a extremely profound and beautiful sentiment that I wholeheartedly agree with.
I was in a 25-year marriage that ended in divorce. Too many of those years at the end were 2 people not willing to accept that the other was changing, and trying to force promises upon each other that two completely different people had made so many years before. I finally gave him "permission" to go and he flew away like a baby bird so excited to see the world. It was healthiest for both of us and for our kids and we should have done it earlier. What you two decided to do has to be one of the healthiest and most SELFLESS things I've ever heard in a relationship. Kudos to both of you for your maturity and foresight.
i love how your story isn’t just black and white, it wasn’t one of you was awful and the other was right. but also peoples who’s story’s are like that are totally valid! i appreciate how you she how much it hurt and how tough it was to come to a decision. sometimes we need to be selfish, and that’s ok.
Both of your maturity in the situation is definitely something that everyone should look up to. it is amazing how you guys worked it out and found the best decision without turning on each other. Great story and also i love the skit at the beginning
I discovered you bc I watch Rachel. Im honestly already interested in your channel. It's extremely inspiring that at 30 you are starting over and are willing to share it! I'll be here for the ride good luck girl 😊
The elegance of your words will truly help someone else going through the same thing. As painful as it was, thank you for being vulnerable enough to share your story with us. I know I'm late to the party, but I want to thank you. I've watched your healing journey through Rachel's vlogs, I'm so happy you seem to be doing much better and are a lot happier.... at least I hope that's what I'm seeing! Please take care. You're so much fun to watch on Rachel's vlogs and I'm all for Emily's vlog ending extravaganza!!
I find it kinda funny that you still ended up in California after all. It is awesome how much fun you have working with Rachel and hanging with the friends group though. The scavenger present hunt with Rachel and Joy was an awesome idea btw.
Also Emily, thank you so much for your vulnerability here. I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this but you are killing the game and we are so so proud of who you were and who you have yet to become! I know we're only seeing a small glimpse of your life, but thank you so much for letting us in. You are such a relatable person and I can't wait to see your continued growth (personally and professionally) on this platform.
I don't regret my marriage or my divorce. He's still my best friend. And now I'm a lesbian. Life happens, compassion, love, and understanding can get you through the worst of it ❤️
I just came here to say that you are such a natural in front of the camera! Your humor, your vulnerability, and your overall sense of authenticity is so magnetic. It feels like I’ve known you for years. You’re absolutely crushing the RUclips game, and I couldn’t be happier for you! Can’t wait to see what’s to come.
Oh sweet Emily, most adult unselfish thing u both did. U say selfish I say whole heartedly unselfish. You are mourning all u need to mourn. Also take all the time u neea. Don't let anyone influence that. So glad I'm here from begining of your online journey.
Even though this is a sad story, it’s also a beautiful story. I’m so grateful you chose to share this with us. Fighting for love is worth it, but also fighting for yourself and your dreams are important too. I have so much respect for both of you.
Did anyone else catch, when she was texting, her ex’s texts were Mean Girl quotes? “My nail bits suck,” and “My breath smells really bad in the morning.” (Karen and Cady.) I loved that! 🧡💜❤️💚💙
I also went through a breakup this summer. The words you used to explain the amount of hurt there is to process, made me feel less alone in this. There is so much healing and mourning to be done and it's scary how much of an emotional roller coaster it is; letting go of your previous life... fearing that nobody will understand what you're experiencing and that you'll be met with others just wanting you to get over it. I hope you have a loving community to support you in this time. You aren't alone, even if it feels that way right now. This book, A Gentle Reminder by Bianca Sparacino, was a great outlet for me on my healing journey (which I'm still very much on), maybe it would be helpful for you as well. Sending love ❤️
Not to minimize the hurt and pain you and your ex are going through but your approach to all of this is being done in the most beautiful, healthy and honest way. Wonderful representation of how people can still reach a place of love even when they must part. Thank you for sharing your personal experiences. I’m sure it will help many people.
Can we talk about how much effort you both put in to try and stay happy with each other, while achieving your goals. Even tho it didn’t work out, you can fully see the love you both put in to each other and yourselves.
That is SO much harder when divorcing your best friend and neither of you did anything wrong. 😭 I couldn’t imagine!💔 I’m going to go back and watch daisy be in a wig for some serotonin now. ❤
I’m so proud of you for sharing this when you’re still going through pain. It is a beautiful story. And I’m sure your story has taught us all a lot about how to let go of the things that we can’t control and find peace in our journeys. Sending you love. We love you Emily ❤️
Sounds like a healthy end to a chapter. Who knows things may change later down the line. I think taking the step back for reflection and coming to the understand that you did really helps others see this side of closure. Thank you for having the courage to share.
I love how much you two tried to make things work. I also love that you loved each so much that you knew letting go was the right thing to do. Emily you are an amazing young woman and I thank Rachel for bringing you into our lives.
Thank you for opening your heart with us and sharing this. I think going into a marriage, both people need to fully understand that each person is going to evolve (as they should), and both people have to be willing to compromise. If marriage is anything, it’s compromise. My “perfect” life might look different than what my husband and I are going to live out, but my “perfect” life wouldn’t be perfect if it didn’t include him.
You had me laughing and crying and laughing again…I’m taking some of these wise words and things to heart, cause aren’t we all going through some stuff in one way or another! Luv ya 💙
every time i see you i think “wow i could never love a person more than i already love emily right now” and then you prove me wrong every single time. i LOVE YOU
So I'm extremely late to this as I just realized you make your own videos. I just wanna say I'm sure this was devastating and I in no way want to minimalize your pain, but I just want to say from the outside (not having to grieve the loss as you are) this is a beautiful love story of loving each other and yourselves enough to openly and honestly communicate your wants and needs, not compromising and allowing resentment to build but supporting each other on your new paths while still doing what is best for you that is amazing... congratulations on being healthy adults (what's that like lol).
I feel like SO many people can relate to what you’ve said. When you said ‘it hurts but it’s the right decision’, that really fucking helped me with my own situation!
Totally get the being friends with the idea of being besties with your ex. I’m actually friends with all my ex boyfriends (serious, years-long relationships). It’s hard for a bit but that part gets over and you end up with a really special kind of life long friend. After all, there’s a reason you chose each other in the first place. I’ve even been to all their weddings and they all came to mine. You two did the right thing by splitting to live your changed dreams. No healthy relationship can be built on the premise that neither partner will ever grow. Now you’re doing the right thing again by staying friends. Just hang in there for this rocky part, it’s a short period of time when you look back on the years of friendship you have to look forward to. It will stop hurting I promise.
thank you for being so vulnerable. the complexities of life are never easy to understand unless you’re the one living it. you always have a space here with all of us supporting you!
awsome Video and thank you for how you are so open... its nice to know that when im stressed out that there are others that had things they go through and it is comforting to hear your thoughts ...
I'm in NOVA too! And you're NEVER ALONE!....I've been in the same situation. It hurts so bad knowing how much you love each other and how you just want to be with them, but you know it can't work. It's a shitty situation to walk away from. Emily and her ex seemed to handle this extremely well!
This is a beautiful divorce. Thank you for sharing and for just being you! I look forward to seeing where your RUclips career takes you! I’m excited to be along for the journey with you from the beginning !!! I appreciate your honesty and your ability to open up and share about the most sacred part of you. Thank you for showing us that sometimes people just need different things in life and that’s ok and it’s also ok to not “hate” the other person.
thank you so much for sharing this, I'm going through a break up with some similarities to yours at the moment and it's the most painful thing I've ever experienced, hearing your story helped x
I really appreciate you starting this channel at this time in your life. I'm going through a little bit of a turbulent time in my life too, for other reasons than yours, but it's always been nice to see other people are going through it and we will all get through it to better days. so thank you, can't wait to see what you do here!
Thank you for sharing your experience in your relationship. I think this could definitely help a lot of people find their happiness. I feel like I can relate to this currently as I'm in a 9 year relationship and I feel like we are changing and that it's time a have a real discussion about our future and our relationship. I can't imagine my life without him, but what if we are sacrificing our happiness. I loved this video, thank you so much for sharing 💜.
After a 25 year marriage my husband abandoned our disabled son and me. He never called asking about our son. It came out of left field. He wasn't man enough to even tell me he was leaving. Now our son and my life is falling apart and he is living like a king. Life is sure unfair.
Amazing video. So honest and real. I think true love is loving someone enough to let them live their dreams even if it means doing it alone. I’ve been married for 35 years and the moment we both came to that realization we grew so much closer. It could’ve gone the other way (and it still can) but we love each other so much that our individual happiness is so important.
I love the Uhaul lesbian jokes. One of the first times I've heard anyone make an inside joke like that. I'm a new subscriber I've your energy, and the way you tell stories.
Hey Emily I can really relate to you and your story because I’m 29, just had a breakup (it’s been months not years since the breakup) in which my significant other changed her mind, and have been coping with the change, saving for a place to live. Lots of things you said really hit home for me. I also need time and therapy. Thanks for sharing your story and here’s to new beginnings 🍻
Sending hugs from Virginia to you. I know that this is hard but it’s okay to be selfish and for plans to change. And I totally know the feeling of being hurt over the changes and such. It’s hard for sure but in the long run it was something you both have learned and grown from. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing that with us truly love bug! ❤
change really fucking sucks and it's hard to wrap your head around cuz it's so hard to understand sometimes, you're strong Emily and I know you'll eventually fully get through it and maybe find love again and achieve your dreams. I'm really looking forward to your videos, this is gonna be so fun, seeing you cry tho hurts my heart, I genuinely hope you're happy and content. I love you and no it's not weird to stay friends with your ex, especially not in your case. obviously not with cheaters and liars tho. those can go to hell, a little aggressive sorry but I can't stand them.
I've been watching you now for over a year. You've grown so much and come a long way. Divorce is hell but I'm happy that you are doing so well. Be proud of who you are and how this has changed you. Love watching your content. You inspire me to be better.
I grew up in VA and went to VCU. I met a girl and ended up in Pittsburgh. I miss VA so much 😭. Also, the maturity and love your ex and you have for each other is amazing.
Your vulnerability, pure honesty and desire to share these intimate truths is inspiring and incredibly beautiful. Thankyou for sharing and thankyou for being an amazingly thoughtful person and for having the strength to go through what you did and come out the other side more beautiful.
My roommate's parents are divorcee's and they are great coparents for my roommate. She knows her mom and step dad more but her father and step mom are just as important and as much in her life as her mom and step dad. I think ya'll are so mature and amazing and I'm thankful you are opening up so others can know and understand that it is okay if this happens.
You fought for your love which is VERY admirable but now it is time to fight for yourself and your own happiness. Love you Em your videos help everyone so much including myself!
Please, come to Portugal! I am adventurous! 😅 (Sorry, sorry) I totally can imagine the pain...there was still love there, but life isn't just about love... it's also about growth and building up an intellect, chasing dreams is super important or else you'd probably become an angry old lady and hate her because she "stopped you"...when in reality, you stopped yourself. Much love
Change is hard. Especially when you start dating young and change is inevitable. I’m about to get married after almost 8 years together. We started dating at 19 and we’ve known each other since we were 14 and we’ve both changed a lot. Sometimes you make sacrifices for the other and it’s hard but some sacrifices just aren’t worth compromising for you and that’s okay too
I do feel your loss your pain and the trauma to your soul. My heart shares your sadness with you. You are much loved and not alone. I want to share your journey with you. Thank you for the courage you showed to share that.
You both handled this in such a mature way, and it has/will allow you both to grow as people. It’s so admirable that you all spent time trying to work it out, and were able to realize that you all can still love each other even with different life paths. Nothing about that decision was selfish, it was completely selfless because you all let each other do what you needed to be happy. Always know that you are building a beautiful community of support and love, and that being physically on your own does not mean you’re alone (cheesy as it sounds)
i said almost exactly this in a previous comment. i agree they’re both very mature in the way this was handled. this is an amazing example of divorce being done in a healthy way.
@@mossycobblestoneslab This is such a good example and (in my opinion obviously) how situations like this should be handled-with communication and understanding
Around the end of the video, you said that if anyone didn't like the fact you and your ex were still friends that it was ok. Personally, I completely support it. My aunt, her husband, his ex-wife, and the ex-wife's new husband all live together in a HUGEEEEEEE house and that is the most functional house I've ever seen. And just to put it out there I'm not trying to brag or whatever about their huge house. I was just trying to get my point across that it's completely ok to be friends with your ex if they're not toxic. (In my opinion)
I went through a divorce that was more painful than a death! My heart goes out to anyone who goes through it! You said all of how I felt too.. just devastating to go through!!!
Being able to be friends with your ex wife is absolutely incredible!! That is not an easy thing & I wish I had the strength you do. I hope you're able to recognize how incredibly strong & rare you are . As far as changing & growing...that's what we do as humans. It sucks when it doesn't always go as planned BUT there's a reason it didn't. It's very annoying waiting to find out what greatness awaits us. Your greatness is going to be so f'in fabulous! I think you're fabulous & great already🥰
This is happening to me and he’s made it clear he will have to completey seperate and not know me anymore if we break up but I can’t lose him completely, girls who decide to stay friends after probably make it a lot easier to leave and realize you both aren’t happy and do something about it. Ugh
no don't care what others say or think, you do you Emily, you are opening up about a hard thing even if in the end you guys are friends it's still hard. even though i'm a stranger to you, but i watch you on the ATI with Rachel and loving them i am a fan.
It shows that you BOTH are mature and intelligent and made the decision that was going to allow you both to be happy. Anything else would have held at least one of you in regret and feelings of bitterness toward the other. This shows that when you find your forever soulmate you will know exactly what it looks and feels like and it will be AMAZING
Thank you for opening up about your relationship and sharing with us what you’ve been through. I’m so proud of you and can’t wait to see where you’re going in life! ❤️
"no one owes you the promise of never changing" is such a beautiful truth. thank you for sharing this part of your story with us
can we please talk about how much of a cinematic masterpiece the first 2 and a half minutes is. it deserves an oscar.
Yes!!! I felt so bad for enjoying it but it was AMAZING
Oscars list just came out. Not nominated in any cayegory. Maybe next time
There's nothing unhealthy about maintaining respect, consideration and love for each other - I think it should be a goal for all divorced/separated couples. Thanks for sharing your story.

Thank you for sharing your personal experiences. I’m sure it will help many people.
Genuine, authentic and raw… with a real skill for the narrative. LOVING your channel! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Can we talk about how much effort you both put in to try and stay happy with each other, while achieving your goals. Even tho it didn’t work out, you can fully see the love you both put in to each other and yourselves.

This is absolute gold. I love your channel so much already 🥺
I love how much you two tried to make things work. I also love that you loved each so much that you knew letting go was the right thing to do. Emily you are an amazing young woman and I thank Rachel for bringing you into our lives.
I am so impressed by the maturity in which you both handled such a heartbreaking situation with.
Thank you for opening your heart with us and sharing this. I think going into a marriage, both people need to fully understand that each person is going to evolve (as they should), and both people have to be willing to compromise.

Hey Emily I can really relate to you and your story because I’m 29, just had a breakup (it’s been months not years since the breakup) in which my significant other changed her mind, and have been coping with the change, saving for a place to live. Lots of things you said really hit home for me. I also need time and therapy. Thanks for sharing your story and here’s to new beginnings 🍻
Sending hugs from Virginia to you. I know that this is hard but it’s okay to be selfish and for plans to change. And I totally know the feeling of being hurt over the changes and such. It’s hard for sure but in the long run it was something you both have learned and grown from. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing that with us truly love bug! ❤
Trust me! You are not alone! You have your family, friends and you have a whole community who you can lean on! ❤❤❤
change really fucking sucks and it's hard to wrap your head around cuz it's so hard to understand sometimes, you're strong Emily and I know you'll eventually fully get through it and maybe find love again and achieve your dreams. I'm really looking forward to your videos, this is gonna be so fun, seeing you cry tho hurts my heart, I genuinely hope you're happy and content. I love you and no it's not weird to stay friends with your ex, especially not in your case. obviously not with cheaters and liars tho. those can go to hell, a little aggressive sorry but I can't stand them.
The skit at the beginning almost got me! Master piece! 💕
The mean girls quote in the text messages😂
I've been watching you now for over a year. You've grown so much and come a long way. Divorce is hell but I'm happy that you are doing so well. Be proud of who you are and how this has changed you. Love watching your content. You inspire me to be better.
I grew up in VA and went to VCU. I met a girl and ended up in Pittsburgh. I miss VA so much 😭. Also, the maturity and love your ex and you have for each other is amazing.
I teach children. I own 2 of my own. But the way you yeeted that child really warmed my heart. 😆
Your vulnerability, pure honesty and desire to share these intimate truths is inspiring and incredibly beautiful. Thankyou for sharing and thankyou for being an amazingly thoughtful person and for having the strength to go through what you did and come out the other side more beautiful.
My roommate's parents are divorcee's and they are great coparents for my roommate. She knows her mom and step dad more but her father and step mom are just as important and as much in her life as her mom and step dad. I think ya'll are so mature and amazing and I'm thankful you are opening up so others can know and understand that it is okay if this happens.
You fought for your love which is VERY admirable but now it is time to fight for yourself and your own happiness. Love you Em your videos help everyone so much including myself!
Please, come to Portugal! I am adventurous! 😅 (Sorry, sorry) I totally can imagine the pain...there was still love there, but life isn't just about love... it's also about growth and building up an intellect, chasing dreams is super important or else you'd probably become an angry old lady and hate her because she "stopped you"...when in reality, you stopped yourself. Much love
Change is hard. Especially when you start dating young and change is inevitable. I’m about to get married after almost 8 years together. We started dating at 19 and we’ve known each other since we were 14 and we’ve both changed a lot. Sometimes you make sacrifices for the other and it’s hard but some sacrifices just aren’t worth compromising for you and that’s okay too
STOP WHY DID I DEAD SERIOUSLY BELIEVE THE STORY AT THE BEGINNING IM STUPID-
Your story telling abilities are amazing. I can't wait to keep watching!
I do feel your loss your pain and the trauma to your soul. My heart shares your sadness with you. You are much loved and not alone. I want to share your journey with you. Thank you for the courage you showed to share that.
That skit and then BOOM the raw, beautiful, painful truth - comedic genius. 🤣😭💚
(And thank you for sharing your story!)
You both handled this in such a mature way, and it has/will allow you both to grow as people. It’s so admirable that you all spent time trying to work it out, and were able to realize that you all can still love each other even with different life paths. Nothing about that decision was selfish, it was completely selfless because you all let each other do what you needed to be happy. Always know that you are building a beautiful community of support and love, and that being physically on your own does not mean you’re alone (cheesy as it sounds)
i said almost exactly this in a previous comment. i agree they’re both very mature in the way this was handled. this is an amazing example of divorce being done in a healthy way.
@@mossycobblestoneslab This is such a good example and (in my opinion obviously) how situations like this should be handled-with communication and understanding
This is beautiful, but bittersweet. Good for you.
Around the end of the video, you said that if anyone didn't like the fact you and your ex were still friends that it was ok. Personally, I completely support it. My aunt, her husband, his ex-wife, and the ex-wife's new husband all live together in a HUGEEEEEEE house and that is the most functional house I've ever seen. And just to put it out there I'm not trying to brag or whatever about their huge house. I was just trying to get my point across that it's completely ok to be friends with your ex if they're not toxic. (In my opinion)
not me thinking it was actually gonna be something serious in the beginning 💀💀💀
You know, every time I feel like I am going to cry, you put a comedic spin to it. Keep it up🤌🤘💪👌🙏🇺🇸💙💙💙💙🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I went through a divorce that was more painful than a death! My heart goes out to anyone who goes through it! You said all of how I felt too.. just devastating to go through!!!
The whisper at the end has to be your sign off every video!!!
This video just popped up for me September 13 2023 and its so weird to watch knowing how completely different her life is now!
Omg I see you all the time in racheals videos and I had no clue about any of this. Thanks for sharing and we all love you!!
Being able to be friends with your ex wife is absolutely incredible!! That is not an easy thing & I wish I had the strength you do. I hope you're able to recognize how incredibly strong & rare you are . As far as changing & growing...that's what we do as humans. It sucks when it doesn't always go as planned BUT there's a reason it didn't. It's very annoying waiting to find out what greatness awaits us. Your greatness is going to be so f'in fabulous! I think you're fabulous & great already🥰
Emily this is amazing. I'm happy you took the leap to upload to your own channel, I'm just sad we've missed out on it before this!
This is happening to me and he’s made it clear he will have to completey seperate and not know me anymore if we break up but I can’t lose him completely, girls who decide to stay friends after probably make it a lot easier to leave and realize you both aren’t happy and do something about it. Ugh
no don't care what others say or think, you do you Emily, you are opening up about a hard thing even if in the end you guys are friends it's still hard. even though i'm a stranger to you, but i watch you on the ATI with Rachel and loving them i am a fan.
Speaking with your heart in your sleeve and so transparently. Thanks for opening up to us. 🤟🏻
It shows that you BOTH are mature and intelligent and made the decision that was going to allow you both to be happy. Anything else would have held at least one of you in regret and feelings of bitterness toward the other. This shows that when you find your forever soulmate you will know exactly what it looks and feels like and it will be AMAZING
Thank you for sharing, like passing on all you’ve learned for the benefit of others x
Also love how you’re now working with Rachel and I hope it’s so fruitful for you both x
Is no one gonna talk about how she just pushed the kids face
Thank you for opening up about your relationship and sharing with us what you’ve been through. I’m so proud of you and can’t wait to see where you’re going in life! ❤️
