Red Ice TV - Divorcee Lauren Southern Backtracks on Trad Wife Life & Takes Hits At The Right

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.

00:00:00.000 Now for a little e-celeb news, former self-proclaimed former trad wife poster girl Lauren Southern

00:00:06.760 is getting a divorce.

00:00:08.760 She posted a video that should have been called, I'm back and I was wrong about marriage.

00:00:13.580 It's a mess.

00:00:14.700 In short, she married a part Asian Australian who worked for the equivalent of the Aussie

00:00:19.880 FBI, their secret intelligence.

00:00:21.900 Now right there, bad idea.

00:00:23.760 You chose the wrong guy, especially if you're a supposed political dissident.

00:00:28.660 This could never work.

00:00:31.400 Bad choice.

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

00:00:41.480 being a housewife.

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.

00:00:51.260 A little humble bragging.

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.

00:01:12.580 Well, speak for yourself.

00:01:13.680 It's telling of who she's hanging out with.

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.

00:01:28.480 Here's the straight up truth.

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.

00:01:40.540 No, girl, you chose the wrong guy.

00:01:43.400 It doesn't have anything to do with anyone else, their values or political ideology.

00:01:47.920 Don't make it into something it isn't.

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.

00:02:00.320 Plenty of liberals are in a good marriage.

00:02:02.120 It's about marrying the right person for you.

00:02:05.180 When I met my husband, politics wasn't even in my mind yet.

00:02:08.280 I had no specific ideology that I followed.

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

00:02:25.600 isn't enough.

00:02:26.900 No, it isn't.

00:02:27.900 This is why I always tell young women, if you are second-guessing a relationship, don't

00:02:32.700 continue, even if it looks good on paper.

00:02:35.240 And it's also true that you can't marry your political opposite, like an anti-government

00:02:40.460 activist and one working for one.

00:02:42.740 Once that honeymoon fades, reality sets in.

00:02:45.980 It was a bad idea.

00:02:47.520 Usually, when people have a failed marriage, if they are honest with themselves, looking

00:02:51.620 back, they knew.

00:02:52.920 They felt something wasn't 100%.

00:02:54.940 Your intuition was trying to tell you, even if you ignored it, thinking it could work out

00:02:59.580 anyway.

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.

00:03:08.640 Generally, people don't change.

00:03:10.400 They can improve their weaknesses.

00:03:12.020 They can become smarter to the world.

00:03:14.760 But you just become more of who you are.

00:03:18.100 The core is already there.

00:03:19.740 It will always show itself.

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

00:03:29.600 and relationships.

00:03:30.920 It takes successful experience.

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.

00:03:42.220 Unfortunately, it's part of being young.

00:03:44.800 Youth is wasted on the youth.

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.

00:04:13.580 It just means you chose the wrong guy.

00:04:16.760 That is what you should be reflecting on and how to choose better next time, because there

00:04:21.240 will be a next time.

00:04:22.820 Starter marriages are a thing today. 0.99

00:04:24.480 People rush into it with the wrong person.

00:04:26.700 I know many people who fell into this trap and then later chose the right person and have

00:04:31.240 been happily married since.

00:04:32.920 Do I judge people for this?

00:04:34.440 Do I disown or lack compassion and understanding?

00:04:37.180 Of course not.

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

00:04:54.220 I think you guys can guess which one.

00:04:56.260 The meme doesn't lie.

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

00:05:05.860 Even the best marriages aren't.

00:05:07.700 As she said, it's not an instant guarantee of fulfillment where you are happy and rich because

00:05:12.500 you got married.

00:05:13.340 Well, of course not.

00:05:14.260 Does anyone actually believe that?

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

00:05:24.900 individual more than anything else.

00:05:27.140 But none of that happens instantly.

00:05:29.140 It's a process like most things.

00:05:30.900 Life can be fun and beautiful, but it's also work and struggle, including relationships and

00:05:36.580 family and work.

00:05:38.400 You will have challenges.

00:05:39.620 There will be ups and downs, high peaks and lows.

00:05:42.820 You would have had that being single, too.

00:05:44.840 I did because I am human.

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.

00:05:57.340 That is life on planet Earth.

00:05:59.120 It's not a straight, flat line.

00:06:01.260 Being married, having a family, is also like having a big mirror pointed at you, revealing

00:06:06.620 your strengths and weaknesses 24-7.

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

00:06:26.800 choose the wrong person.

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.

00:06:36.340 Be realistic.

00:06:37.640 What do you really want out of life?

00:06:39.600 What would make you happy?

00:06:41.120 What do you want from someone else?

00:06:42.840 What are you willing to give?

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

00:07:10.840 real her.

00:07:12.500 I don't think she knows who that is yet.

00:07:15.420 Marriage is a beautiful thing, and when it's right, it's a partnership that can make dreams

00:07:19.800 come true.

00:07:20.400 Kids thrive when their parents are unified.

00:07:23.140 Society thrives.

00:07:24.620 Yes, divorce happens, but the key to a happy marriage is to marry the person who's made 0.99

00:07:29.120 of the right stuff for you.

00:07:30.840 Choose wisely.

00:07:31.860 Don't rush in, and if there's any doubt, don't do it.

00:07:34.940 Listen to your gut because it always knows.

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

00:07:54.480 politics.

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

00:08:07.080 in the dissident rights.

00:08:08.800 No.

00:08:10.580 Surround yourself with healthy, whole people and thriving relationships, and it will rub off

00:08:15.840 on you.

00:08:16.560 Getting married is the end of one phase of your life and the start of the next.
