Gary Rohan's ex-wife Amie says 'you can't blame yourself for not knowing back then what you know now'... a year after their marriage ended and he hooked up with an AFL physio
Former AFL WAG Amie Rohan has shared a cryptic Instagram post about heartbreak and learning from your mistakes, following the breakdown of her marriage to Geelong player Gary Rohan.
She was clearly in an introspective mood late on Wednesday night when she uploaded a wise quote stressing the importance of moving on from 'decisions you have made in the past'.
The single mother may have been alluding to the abrupt end of her relationship with childhood sweetheart Gary, 30, in the middle of last year.

'It's easy to look back and question decisions you have made in the past, but it's unfair to punish yourself for them,' the quote read.
'You can't blame yourself for not knowing back then what you know now, and the truth is you made each decision for a reason, based on how you were feeling at the time.'
It continued: 'As we grow up, we learn and we evolve. Maybe the person you are now would have done things differently back then, or maybe you are the person you are now because of the decisions you made back them.
'Trust your journey; it's all going to make sense soon.'

Gary and Amie split in July last year after four years of marriage, shortly after he entered the AFL's Gold Coast coronavirus hub.
While in the hub, he hooked up with club staffer Madi Bennett after his marriage broke down.
Madi had been flown cross-country to use her physiotherapy skills to help Geelong Cats legend Gary Ablett Jr see out his final season.
She'd been working as a physiotherapist at BodyLab Health and moonlighted as a Cats trainer and physio.
Sudden end: Gary and Amie split in July last year after four years of marriage, shortly after he entered the AFL's Gold Coast coronavirus hub - and just months following the birth of their daughter Sadie in March
Amie was notably absent when many of the players' partners and children joined them at the Queensland isolation hub last August. She stayed in Victoria with their kids.
The Rohans' marriage reportedly ended just months after their daughter Sadie was born in March last year. They are also parents to three-year-old Bella.
They had suffered unimaginable grief in 2018 when Willow, Bella's twin, died five hours after birth due to a defect causing babies to be born without parts of the brain.
Following their break-up, Madi has taken on a stepmother role to her boyfriend's children - doting on them on the sidelines at AFL games and taking them to the park.
Meanwhile, Amie has channelled her grief into mental health and child-loss awareness advocacy.
