Porsha Williams’ decision to stay single after divorce
Porsha Williams has made a big decision after her divorce!
She is now taking a break from dating and is going to stay single. Why? Because she wants to heal herself first.
Divorce story
After marrying Simon Gubadia in November 2022, Porsha suddenly filed for divorce in February 2024. Their divorce was finalized on June 11.
The judge ruled in Porsha’s favor and she will receive support according to the prenup.
The pain of loneliness
“It feels very lonely. I am not able to connect with other men,” Porsha said through tears.
PEOPLE encourage her to have new relationships, but she is not ready yet.
Taking a new approach
“This time I will do it differently,” she said. “I’m going to be single until I’m fully healed.
Then, when I’m fully healed, I’m going to open myself up again so I don’t make the same mistake again.”
Journey to self-identity
Porsha reveals that she used to see herself through the eyes of others.
“I was a people pleaser. I always saw myself through a man’s eyes, so I suffered a lot of abuse in my twenties.”
Change and confidence
Now Porsha says, “I don’t care anymore. I’m the boss of my life – everything from money to relationships. I’m very confident now.
But things like that shake confidence, when you think everything is going in one direction and then suddenly everything changes.”
Courage to feel pain
“I can’t feel it with anyone else. I can’t just go down on someone else and feel it.
I can’t drown it in alcohol like I did before,” she admits.
“The road to healing like this is hard — it’s draining on every level. But it’s necessary.”
Better Every Day
“I’m crying right now, but every day I feel better,” she says. “Every day I’m getting better. Every day I get stronger.
But I’m not going to lie — it’s hard. It’s hard to be alone when you know you have to be alone for a while.”
The Road Ahead
“I have to take one step at a time, cover my heart, keep it as soft as I can, and just move forward in life,” she says. “That’s all I can do right now.”
Porsha’s journey teaches us that sometimes healing alone is better than being incomplete with someone else. Her courage and honesty are truly amazing!
