A Brazilian influencer and model, Suellen Carey, who gained significant media attention last year for her unconventional decision to marry herself due to the challenges she faced in finding a suitable partner, has now taken the step of filing for a divorce from herself.
Suellen Carey’s act of self-marriage, known as sologamy, elicited diverse responses when it occurred.

The unconventional marital union that Suellen entered into with herself was initially perceived as a courageous and admirable demonstration of self-love and autonomy. However, several months later, it appears that Suellen is experiencing a sense of dissatisfaction with her decision.
Suellen, 36, said she put in a lot of effort for her sologamy to work out and she even went to couple’s therapy alone. However, she felt quite dissatisfied in her marriage to herself, according to reports.
She even felt lonely in her sologamy, which ultimately made her decide to quit and file for a divorce from herself.
In an interview recently, Suellen spoke about her experience of sologamy and what made her decide to call it quits.
She said that she had very high expectations from herself, which she couldn’t meet and so she felt quite exhausted in her relationship. She also shared that she felt lonely on many occasions, which made her decide that she needed a real partner in life.
“Self-analysis and reflection are necessary,” she further said.
She also shared that her sologamy and commitment to self had their own challenges.
However, Suellen seems to have taken this tough decision in her life as an important lesson as she says that one should know when to end a cycle, if it isn’t working for you. This includes even a relationship or marriage with oneself.
As per the available information, prior to making the decision to dissolve her sologamous union, Suellen engaged in ten therapeutic sessions to gain insight into the difficulties she was encountering. She endeavored to comprehend her emotions and address her concerns. However, she ultimately concluded that terminating her marriage with herself was necessary for her healing and personal growth.
Suellen views her solo marriage as an important experience which helped her heal and understand herself better. And now, she seems to be open to finding a new love in her life.
Suellen isn’t the first person to marry herself. In 2021, a woman named Cris Galera from Brazil married herself in an act of self-love. However, 90 days later she also divorced herself as she found “someone special” to whom she wanted to get married.
In 2022, a woman named Kshama Bindu also made the headlines for becoming the first Indian woman to marry herself. Bindu was inspired by a Netflix show to perform sologamy. She explained that she wanted to become a bride, but not someone’s wife.
