Reality is sometimes stranger than fiction: In a quick turn of events, Brazilian sologamist Suellen Carey, known for marrying herself, has now filed for divorce.

Suellen Carey, an influencer, married herself last year after struggling to find a suitable partner. She considered her unconventional marriage an act of self-love and independence. “I wanted to send a message that it’s okay to prioritize yourself and embrace who you are,” Suellen explained about her decision to marry herself.

However, as time passed, Suellen found the solo marriage unsatisfying and lonely, ultimately leading to her decision to file for divorce. “I thought being married to myself would be fulfilling, but I found it isolating at times. I expected so much from myself that I couldn’t always deliver, which left me feeling exhausted,” she shared.

She also reflected on the experience of self-marriage as a learning journey: “This wasn’t a failure, it was a process of understanding my limits and accepting that I don’t need to be perfect to deserve love — even my own.”

Ultimately, Suellen’s experience highlights the complexities of self-love and the evolving nature of relationships, whether with others or oneself.
