In this week’s episode of Roots & Rhythm, Vlad and Angie dive deep into the alarming realities of modern divorce: why people stay longer than they should, why they eventually leave, and what life looks like after the paperwork is signed.
Drawing from their own childhood experiences as products of divorce, they unpack:
- Why 40–50% of first marriages end in divorce
- Why second and third marriages fail at even higher rates
- The emotional, financial, and psychological reasons people stay
- Why women often leave mentally years before they leave physically
- The role of childhood trauma, identity, and cultural expectations
- The truth about “the seven-year itch”
- What healing after divorce actually requires
- How to break cycles and avoid repeating the same patterns in your next relationship
Whether you’re divorced, divorcing, thinking about leaving, or simply curious about the emotional roots behind relationship breakdowns — this episode offers truth, compassion, and the deeper insights nobody talks about.
