Mamamia Out Loud · The Blindside Divorce & Everything Is Embarrassing · 28 Aug 2026 podcast

And when it happens in marriages, is that ghosting or is that just the fact that divorces often blindside one person in the relationship? voice-verified

And also I voice-verified

I don't know if the conversation actually helps. voice-verified

Because when the truth comes down to I don't want to be married to you anymore, do you really want more information from that? voice-verified

You just reminded me that I had a friend who who had someone break up with her and send her essentially a letter of all of her perceived personality faults, which I don't think you want to know. voice-verified

What's interesting in this BBC article about the blind side divorce is it says it's much more likely to happen to women. voice-verified

And that's because women often are the ones who take on the emotional labor of talking about the relationship, checking in, making sh taking the temperature of the marriage. voice-verified

So when the man voice-verified

is the one to say, I don't want to be in this marriage anymore, often that woman who took on that emotional labor, that's why she feels blindsided. voice-verified

She's like, but that was my job to take the temperature of this marriage. voice-verified

So you said be a man, is that do you feel like in these situations it was it was the men only who were doing the ghosting or did women ghost? voice-verified

Did women ghost? voice-verified

And the funny thing is that embarrassment itself is embarrassing. voice-verified

Like if you stand up in front of people to give a speech and you look visibly embarrassed, you actually look much more silly than if you stood up to give the speech and you embraced the moment and you tried to just infuse it with confidence. voice-verified

Now that is easier said than done, but it's kind of a self fulfilling prophecy. voice-verified

The more embarrassed you are, the more embarrassing the situation can become. voice-verified

That's true. voice-verified

I also find the concept of cringe mountain really helpful. voice-verified
