“If living together is absolutely impossible, then tolerating a person with whom you no longer have anything in common – for the sake of children or for something else, is not worth it. You are destroying yourself, your partner and also your children. It’s slow death for everyone. And the children, when they grow up, will not thank for such a life with the tantrums and scandals of their parents, “said Slutskaya.

According to the athlete, the ideal option in a failed marriage is to separate, but to remain parents to the children and take care of their upbringing together. Irina and Sergey succeeded – Artem and Varya get along well with their father.

Now the skater is happily married to businessman Alexei Govyrin. The couple has a three-year-old daughter, Kira. The couple recently celebrated their 5th wedding anniversary. According to Slutská, she feels like a real woman in these relationships.

“My husband and I are at an age where there are no majors in a relationship. Our marriage is based on mutual understanding. But of course there are situations where someone has to compromise. Or it happens that I go too far on my nerves and excitement, and in such moments my husband will understand: now is not the best time to argue with me, it would be wiser to give up, “said the athlete in an interview with Lady. .mail.ru.
