“Maybe this is even a step forward in our relationship, because anything is possible,” the actress said, hinting that her connection with her ex-husband had not been completely severed.
How the love story began
Olena remembered how she fell in love with Mykola ten years ago. It happened at a party where a drunk man tried to charm her. She approached Mykola to avoid unwanted attention and suddenly felt “butterflies in her stomach.”
“We started dancing, and that was it. We never parted again,” Svitlitskaya recalls with warmth.
But the feelings that existed on the first day of their acquaintance were very different from those that remained on the last day of their life together.
Why relationships fail
Olena frankly admitted that in the last period of their relationship there were many disappointments. She dreamed of one thing, but in reality she got something completely different.
“We were so focused on the children, on this endless schedule, that we just lost each other,” the actress explained.
Life turned into a routine that left no room for the two of them. Constant worries, children's clubs, work, responsibilities – all this distanced them, and there was simply no time left to spend together.

Is there a chance for reconciliation?
Despite the difficult period, Olena and Mykola now communicate much better than before. She says that respect has been restored between them.
“The last few months have been very difficult for us, we have practically not communicated. And now it has become easier. Probably because we have finally started talking to each other,” the actress notes.
Now she understands that in a relationship it is important not only to divide responsibilities, but also to pay attention to your partner.
I always said: “I am alone, I am alone.” And that was my mistake, — admits Olena.
Divorce is not the end
For the actress, divorce was a difficult test, but at the same time an opportunity to rethink life. She does not perceive it as a failure, but rather as a chance for a new beginning.
I think this is a step forward,” says Olena, leaving room for possible reconciliation in the future.
Time will tell whether the breakup will really be a new starting point for them. But for now, the actress is not putting an end to her love story.
