Does Susan Sarandon think she could have done more to save her relationship with Tim Robbins? That's what it sounded like when the actress told Reuters in 2012 that she felt "like a failure" after their split. What's more, she also told The Telegraph back in 2010 that she hadn't necessarily been happy to part ways with Robbins, recalling how "people were coming up to me in the street and saying, 'I cried and cried when I heard.' Well, I was sadder!" she declared. "I didn't think it would ever happen, either."

That being said, Sarandon tried to use their breakup, as well as every other failed relationship, as "an opportunity to grow." In her interview with Reuters, the actor shared how she overcomes the end of a union, saying, "You need your girlfriends, you need to take long, long walks until you're exhausted and no longer freaking out and you hold on until a new dawn. Then you get another chance." As for being newly single, she added, "It's been a lot of different things. It's traumatic and exhilarating. The one thing that's been really clear to me is that you have to think of your own life and your relationship and everything as a living organism: It's constantly moving, changing, growing," she told the outlet, concluding, "I think long-term relationships need to be constantly reevaluated and talked about." — a realization that may have come too late to save her relationship with Robbins.
