Summary
Former self-proclaimed "Trad Wife" Lauren Southern is getting a divorce. She posted a video that should have been called, I'm Back and I Was Wrong About Marriage. It's a mess. In short, she married a part Asian Australian who worked for the equivalent of the Aussie FBI. Now right there, you chose the wrong guy, especially if you're a supposed political dissident. This could never work. Bad choice. Now there's always two sides to a divorce, but basically, although he was a trad Catholic, it turns out he wasn't who she thought he was and her most traumatic experience has been being a housewife. She ended up renting a cabin at a trailer park with her son in Canada and found real community with the plebes who didn't know her as Lauren Southern.

Now for a little e-celeb news, former self-proclaimed former trad wife poster girl Lauren Southern
00:00:08.760
She posted a video that should have been called, I'm back and I was wrong about marriage.
00:00:14.700
In short, she married a part Asian Australian who worked for the equivalent of the Aussie
00:00:23.760
You chose the wrong guy, especially if you're a supposed political dissident.
00:00:32.580
Now there's always two sides to a divorce, but basically, although he was trad Catholic,
00:00:36.900
it turns out he wasn't who she thought he was and her most traumatic experience has been
00:00:42.780
She ended up renting a cabin at a trailer park with her son in Canada and found real community
00:00:47.840
with the plebes who didn't know her as Lauren Southern.
00:00:52.760
While telling her relationship journey, she makes side commentary lecturing people on the
00:00:57.580
right for their views on marriage and relationships.
00:01:01.120
She claims she knows people who are hiding their struggling marriages and pretending for
00:01:05.480
their viewers, posting the best picture moments.
00:01:09.020
So therefore, everyone on the right is living a lie.
00:01:15.820
Lauren spent a lot of time backtracking things she once said years back about marriage and
00:01:21.160
relationships because now she's getting divorced.
1.00
00:01:24.240
One bad experience, and here's why the right is wrong about marriage.
00:01:30.400
Claiming she helped create a movement that has no acceptance or understanding of the human
00:01:35.940
condition, lecturing the right on their values when it comes to marriage.
00:01:43.400
It doesn't have anything to do with anyone else, their values or political ideology.
00:01:49.600
In fact, she said she was ready to abandon her political beliefs altogether.
00:01:53.820
I thought she already did several times in videos in the past.
00:01:57.060
But what makes a good, strong marriage isn't politics.
00:02:05.180
When I met my husband, politics wasn't even in my mind yet.
00:02:11.220
It worked because we are compatible and complement each other.
00:02:14.400
Although politics is now part of our relationship and shared beliefs, we as people transcend that.
00:02:20.800
Politics isn't enough to keep people together, as Lauren was shocked to find that being conservative
00:02:27.900
This is why I always tell young women, if you are second-guessing a relationship, don't
00:02:35.240
And it's also true that you can't marry your political opposite, like an anti-government
00:02:47.520
Usually, when people have a failed marriage, if they are honest with themselves, looking
00:02:54.940
Your intuition was trying to tell you, even if you ignored it, thinking it could work out
00:03:00.120
In Lauren's case, the simple fact that he was supposedly living this James Bond fed agent
00:03:05.160
lifestyle before her should have been enough to doubt.
00:03:21.320
Don't marry someone on the I will change clause.
0.77
00:03:24.620
Look, this is why you can't listen to 20-year-olds or people who haven't been married about marriage
0.84
00:03:33.400
When you are young and when you do not have proper guidance and advice, you make wrong choices.
00:03:38.360
Even when you do have guidance, you can make bad choices.
00:03:46.620
I wish it weren't so and that we can break the cycle, but it's been true for so many of us.
00:03:51.460
I look back at my early 20s and think, come on, Lana, why didn't you see that?
00:03:54.940
Your brain isn't fully wired until 26, and some things just do require maturity and experience.
00:04:01.680
It doesn't mean you can't make wise choices as a youth.
00:04:04.700
Many do and have, but many also don't, especially today.
00:04:08.860
It also doesn't mean that what you said at 20 isn't true, like in Lauren's case.
00:04:16.760
That is what you should be reflecting on and how to choose better next time, because there
00:04:26.700
I know many people who fell into this trap and then later chose the right person and have
00:04:34.440
Do I disown or lack compassion and understanding?
00:04:38.540
Lauren was making it sound like people in our sphere are cold and cruel just because someone
00:04:43.100
had a failed relationship, isn't married, or is a single mom.
00:04:47.380
That's simply untrue, and there's always going to be exceptions.
00:04:50.960
But there will be one type of single mom I won't stop making fun of.
1.00
00:04:57.940
I will take this opportunity to say a few things about marriage.
00:05:01.740
Lauren learned that marriage isn't like a Disney movie or a romantic comedy.
0.93
00:05:07.700
As she said, it's not an instant guarantee of fulfillment where you are happy and rich because
00:05:16.240
My husband and children are the best thing that ever happened to me.
00:05:19.640
They have fulfilled me, helped me truly find myself, and made me grow and refine as an
00:05:30.900
Life can be fun and beautiful, but it's also work and struggle, including relationships and
00:05:39.620
There will be ups and downs, high peaks and lows.
00:05:46.900
No one anywhere ever says that marriage and family is a cakewalk.
00:05:50.920
There will be amazing days, fun days, rewarding days, blah days, frustrating days, and hard days.
00:06:01.260
Being married, having a family, is also like having a big mirror pointed at you, revealing
00:06:09.140
It can be incredibly transformative with the right man, and equally, the woman makes the man.
1.00
00:06:15.260
It's nature's mystical, alchemical dance of the masculine and feminine as the gods intended.
00:06:20.680
It can be a positive, transformative union, or it can be devastating and destructive if you
00:06:28.660
So the big question is, how do you choose the right person?
00:06:30.960
Well, you start by being honest with yourself, who you are, and what you truly want and need.
00:06:44.760
No one knows you like you, and if you know yourself, you know it isn't going to work.
00:06:49.580
That will save you a lot of time in the long run.
00:06:51.980
In the case of women, it's about saying no more often and stop dragging things out because
1.00
00:06:57.240
it seems good at the time or because you feel pressured.
00:07:01.200
Lastly, the other thing that stood out in Lauren's monetized divorce video, taking hits
00:07:05.960
at the right, again, was her saying she's going to resume making videos that show the
00:07:15.420
Marriage is a beautiful thing, and when it's right, it's a partnership that can make dreams
00:07:24.620
Yes, divorce happens, but the key to a happy marriage is to marry the person who's made
0.99
00:07:31.860
Don't rush in, and if there's any doubt, don't do it.
00:07:37.720
And if a relationship fails, don't blame right-wing values as if the less values of being single
00:07:43.660
and adopting African kids or being married and going to swingers parties will fulfill you.
00:07:48.760
The values of a healthy relationship and marriage are far older than current left-right paradigm
00:07:55.900
And lastly, if you want relationship advice, ask those who are in lasting, fulfilled unions.
00:08:01.180
Don't listen to hustlers like pro-Islam Andrew Tate who Lauren accused of human trafficking
00:08:10.580
Surround yourself with healthy, whole people and thriving relationships, and it will rub off
00:08:16.560
Getting married is the end of one phase of your life and the start of the next.
