According to the reality star, one difficult moment in the marriage was when Mike decided to walk away the same day Scheana had lost a close family member.
"I just didn't think it was something that was fixable," she explained. "From three months into the marriage, if it wasn't one thing it was another and we both decided amicably that this relationship wasn't working anymore and a divorce was the way to go."
While the couple didn't have a prenup, Scheana says everything is signed and settled. In the meantime, both parties are waiting until the state of California processes everything.
Despite her divorce from Mike Shay, the Bravo star expressed plenty of hope that she can find another special someone in the future.
"I could say yesterday. I could say in three months. I don't know. I feel differently all the time but I'm definitely open to finding love again," she shared with E! News while discussing her possible return to the dating world. "I feel like I'm on The Bachelor. Hey Nick Viall! I hope by the end of this year, I end it the happiest I've ever been. I'm already so much happier and I do feel like a weight has been lifted. I just want to stay happy."
Although the divorce papers are signed and settled leaving the state of California the honors of finalizing everything, Scheana still experiences feelings of sadness about the end of a love story.
"I definitely have my days where I break down and I'm really sad about it. But at the end of the day, I know this is what's right," she explained. "It was not meant to be. That wasn't my forever and I know I'll get that one day and I'm just waiting for that day."
Back in November, Scheana and Mike announced that they would be moving forward with their lives separately. In fact, much of their highs and lows together are expected to be featured later this season on Vanderpump Rules.
While it may be tough to relive some of the lowest points in her marriage, Scheana is confident that she can get back to feeling herself sooner rather than later.
"I felt like I lost my spark for a while and I feel like I definitely got it back," she shared with E! News. "It's not 100 percent there yet but I'm in a very good place right now and I am very happy."
Mike continues to work on new music while Scheana enjoys trips to her "happy place" Disneyland while hanging out with girlfriends. And while the couple's final months together will be shown this season on Vanderpump Rules, Scheana assures fans that the future looks bright.
"Look, you're happy. I'm happy. We can be happy for each other," Scheana explained. "If you need anything I'm here but it's just kind of at the point where communication doesn't need to be regular."
