7 Years Single: What I’ve Learned About Marriage, Divorce, and Freedom — John Griffin (Life 2.0)

7 Years Single: What I've Learned About Marriage, Divorce, and Freedom. Seven years and one month ago, my wife left me. They say life moves in seven-year cycles, and now that I've closed out my first full cycle as a single man, I'm sharing everything this chapter has taught me — because it has been nothing like I expected. This is Life 2.0.

In this video, I break down the roles marriage quietly forces on you (provider, therapist, housekeeper, babysitter — you name it), why trying to "keep her happy" is an impossible job, and how years of molding yourself to someone else's needs slowly erodes your authentic self.

I also get into the psychology of attachment and aversion through a conversation with a 65-year-old surfer friend going through his own breakup, why most relationships — including my own marriage — become transactional, and why that transactional nature is what causes them to eventually fail.

I'll share the moment a teenage rejection taught me one of the most valuable lessons of my life, why walking away without arguing is always the right move, and how the pain of my divorce ultimately turned into the biggest gift I've ever received: autonomy.

If you've ever wondered what real freedom feels like on the other side of marriage and divorce — or you're navigating your own breakup right now — this one's for you.
