The aim of the study was to analyze the role of ego-resiliency in maintaining psychological well-being after divorce among the initiators and non-initiators of marital breakup. The sample consisted of 157 divorced individuals, 64.70% of whom were initiators, and 35.30% non-initiators. Our findings indicate that ego-resiliency mediated completely the relationship between the sense of loss and grief associated with divorce and the psychological well-being in the subgroup of divorce non-initiators. In the subgroup of divorce initiators, such mediation effect is statistically insignificant. The study confirms the importance of ego-resiliency for the psychological adjustment of people after divorce, especially for non-initiators of divorce
