Infidelity - Divorce - Forgiveness - Lyn Smith & Luke Shillings

Lyn delves into the topics of Infidelity, divorce and forgiveness alongside guest Luke Shillings, who shares his personal experience of going through a divorce (after 40), including his wife's betrayal and infidelity that led to their separation.

Luke discusses the challenges he faced, such as navigating co-parenting and financial arrangements, as well as his emotional journey of healing, forgiving and rebuilding trust. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Infidelity and divorce can have specific implications on individuals.
Luke's divorce was the result of betrayal and infidelity in their marriage.
The decision to divorce was made to protect their financial interests and establish clear parenting arrangements.
Luke went through a process of healing and personal growth after the separation & divorce.
Luke and his ex-wife have since reconciled and have a committed relationship with intentional time spent together and separate time for personal space & growth.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think it was important to get that protection, if you like, in place, particularly from a financial standpoint, just to clarify, you know, neither of us wanted to be in a position where one of us won the lottery and all of a sudden had to give half of it to the other person six months later." 

"It's not even really about your trust in other people. It's about your trust in your own judgment. So that was the journey I went on. It was recognising, do I trust my own judgment and should I trust my own judgment like all the time?"

"Separating those two things out and being able to control what you can control, which is your own lived experience, your feelings, your emotions, but also how you look at the world, how you look at the situation and how you want to act going forward."
