During her Vh1 Behind the Music special in October 2012, Braxton opened up about her  failed marriage. "I had to figure out a plan for my life that had nothing to do with him," she explained. "I was angry with everybody. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. I felt that I was a person dealing with a lot of struggles and here comes another one."

"It's not affecting me, making me feel that thing I've always felt when I perform. It's leaving me," Braxton explained. "I'm not sure what's going on in my life. Maybe a female mid-life crisis? My heart isn't in it anymore. I hate to say that."
