A bizarre wedding story! In a failed act of sologamy, this woman’s self-marriage didn’t last. After living in a solo marriage for a year, she now files for a solo divorce. Here’s the weird story that has the Internet in splits.
Suellen Carey, a 36-year-old Brazillian model and influencer, was in the news last year for all the controversial reasons. Her decision to ‘marry herself’ gained her a lot of publicity online. After struggling to find the right partner. she apparently made this unconventional choice as an ‘act of self-love’. This resulted in the immense praise she received from her followers. She felt a sense of independence in this bold and beautiful move of sologamy but her happiness was not too far-fetched.
A few months down the line, Suellen started realizing that she made the wrong call. She realized that ‘it’s not working anymore’ in her marriage with, well, herself. She started feeling lonely as she came across the lack of a real partner in life. Suellen made several efforts to make her marriage work and even attended couple’s therapy, alone. But nothing worked.
In an interview, she shared how she had “very high expectations from herself” in her solo marriage and when she realized she couldn’t meet her own expectations, she started feeling “exhausted in her relationship.” Suellen even attended over 10 couple therapy sessions ‘to save her marriage’. This professional help helped her with self-analysis and reflection. Her challenges with sologamy pushed her towards the crucial decision of ending her marriage. This time, Suellen is again in the limelight as she has filed for divorce with herself. She says that she has understood that it’s time to end the cycle when it is not working out for her.
Suellen is not the only one following the bizarre trend of sologamy on the Internet. Several women in the past few years have entered solo marriages for various reasons. But this is one step ahead. Perhaps it is a way of staying in the headlines on social media. But these acts are on the way to corrupting the mindsets of Gen Z and Gen X who are already dealing with all things situationship and benching. Who knows what’s in the house for the future!
