Speaking about her divorce, Shaffy Bello said:

Divorce, that’s a huge price. He’s a good man. Good father to his children. But I got to a place where I wanted more and I would always travel back and forth but I knew at a point that if I really want this, it came with a sacrifice.

It wasn’t a sacrifice of marriage but then he being there and the distance didn’t help. You see when they tell young couples don’t be apart in your marriage, long distance relationship is strained.

How much more somebody who’s been together for over 15 years at the time. It was still difficult.

But then I knew that I want this. If I go back and leave this, it would be too much of a sacrifice and I would go to him empty. I wouldn’t be myself and at some point, I would resent him. So I had to make that choice and what I wanted, I had to focus on what I wanted.

She continued;

Would I do marriage again? Absolutely. I am such a marriage-oriented kinda woman. I love who I love. I’m a one-man woman. So I give everything and then marriage now at this age, with no children, all you gotta do is travel with some money?

Oh it’s gonna be sweet honey. It’s just gonna be sweet. I just have to have that comfort. Bring no drama, I’ve worked too hard. Oh no no no no no, I’ve worked too hard to get to where I am, I’m not sacrificing nothing.

I’m not a 20-something year old or a 30-something year old woman. So at this age, take me to Greece, take me travelling, I want to go to Paris. I can do it for myself so if you’re going to marry me, you gotta be able to double up honey! Double up!

So would I do it? Yes, absolutely! But you’re going to be some heck of a guy to get me to say “I do” again. But if that doesn’t come along, Shaffy’s alright honey!
