Teddi Mellencamp has been feeling a “constant ache” since breaking up with her husband Edwin Arroyave… a split which, we’ll remind you, followed her own affair with her married horse trainer!
During a new episode of her Diamonds in the Rough podcast, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum opened up to guest psychotherapist Dr. Nadine Macaluso about how she has been pretty “lonely.” In fact, she is so “lonely” that there are times when she questions if she made the right decision to file for divorce! Whoa!

Teddi explained:
“I enjoy my alone time. I need to, like, recharge all of these things, but there’s moments that I’m feeling now, where I feel really lonely. And I don’t know if those loneliness feelings mean that I’ve made a mistake or this is just something I have to get used to, and this is, like, the new change in my life.”
Dr. Nadine understood where the reality star was coming from, saying:
“Teddi, I remember the loneliness being, like, painful. I remember it’s like an ache.”
For Teddi, that’s exactly what it has felt like. She shared that “it’s a constant ache,” and she is “trying to, like, fake my way through.” On top of that, it is “so much shame.” Oof. Teddi added that “there’s been a lot of ups and downs in my life,” starting from when her father John Mellencamp cheated on her mother Victoria Granucci. Teddi didn’t want the same chaos for her own kids, Slate, Cruz, and Dove. Yet here we are. The Bravo star added:
“… My only goal has ever been, like, I just wanna give my kids stability. And I don’t know … if it’s loneliness or I feel scared. I also don’t feel like maybe I’m enough.”
Look, we get it. Being lonely sucks. It’s scary. It’s hard. You may miss what you once had — or what your kids once had: two parents living together under the same roof. Just a lot of thoughts, feelings, and emotions come up during the process of ending a 13-year marriage.
However, some may struggle to sympathize with Teddi here knowing she’s getting divorced because of choices she made. Teddi cheated with another woman’s husband, and the details being reported about that affair are so messed up!
She allegedly traveled with her lover Simon Schröeder to Florida while his wife Karli Postel was giving birth to their second kid back home. Then they got caught, and the television personality swore it would never happen again! But they continued the affair anyway! The whole situation is awful. She not only hurt her own marriage but someone else’s to boot. So yeah, people may have a tough time feeling bad for Teddi and think this is simply a consequence of her own actions — even if she took accountability. It’s harsh but…
