Ariana reveals that Tom apparently brought Raquel home to St. Louis multiple times while they were dating, suggesting his family may have been aware. She expresses her belief that nothing happened between Tom and Billy Lee, despite online speculation, based on her trust in Billy Lee. Ariana states that no other women have reached out to her claiming to have hooked up with Tom.

Men's Tactics to Conceal Infidelity and Subconsciously Turning a Blind Eye
Ariana discusses the manipulative tactics men use to hide infidelity, such as claiming to be divorcing or that their partner has passed away. She admits to subconsciously turning a blind eye to Tom's behavior, aided by his dismissiveness when she raised concerns and her own efforts to avoid appearing overly suspicious.

The Disconnected iPad, Find My iPhone, and Defending Tom
Ariana explains that Tom's messages were not connected to his iPad, but she could track his devices using the "Find My iPhone" app, which often showed them at band rehearsal or Schwartz's apartment. She explains her consistent defense of Tom stemmed from wanting people to see his "home side" and also from not wanting people to think less of her for her choice in partners.

Tainted Memories, Lack of Remorse, and What Ariana Misses
Ariana reflects on whether Tom's actions have completely tainted her memories of their relationship, noting that the level of lying and apparent lack of remorse makes nostalgia difficult. She misses the inside jokes, shared experiences, and the comfortability of a shared language and deep understanding within her relationship with Tom.

Foreshadowing Moments, Guests in the Guest Room, and Suspicions of Sex
Ariana points to a deleted scene of her, Tom, and Raquel in a hot tub in Mexico, where she joked about a "threeple," as a now-obvious foreshadowing of the affair. She discusses how friends, including Raquel, would often stay in their guest room, highlighting the normalcy of hosting guests at their home, and believes Tom and Raquel had sex in the guest room while she slept in their shared bed.

Rebuilding Trust, Perceptions of Raquel, and Sociopathic Behavior
Ariana acknowledges the immense difficulty of trusting someone after such a profound betrayal, especially within the comfort of a shared home. She expresses frustration about her house being referred to as "Tom's house" and discusses her past positive perception of Raquel, contrasting it with her current view of Raquel as "lost, lost, lost and empty." The speaker acknowledges the difficulty in fully understanding the situation but notes that some of Raquel's behavior has seemed sociopathic.

Doubts About Raquel and Tom's Compatibility and On-Screen Interactions
The speaker definitively states that Raquel and Tom do not make sense together, unless Tom's desires in a partner have completely changed from what he has previously expressed. The speaker describes watching Tom and Raquel interact romantically on screen for the first time as "so weird" and "cringe," especially knowing that Tom had been with her the day before.

Tom's Return, the \"Funeral\" Gathering, and Actions After Filming
After filming a scene with Raquel, Tom returned to Ariana's house, yelled at the guests, and referred to the gathering as a "party." The atmosphere was somber, like a funeral, as friends felt they had lost connections with both Tom and Raquel. Tom entered the house after filming with Raquel, yelled at everyone, and referred to it as "his house." He later left and was seen returning to Raquel's apartment. He also allegedly monitored cameras in the house.

Cringeworthy Scenes, Hearing \"I Love You,\" and Tom's Potential Feelings
The scene of Tom and Raquel together was described as "cringe on so many levels." Watching this conversation solidified the speaker's belief that they did not make sense as a couple. The speaker acknowledges knowing about Tom and Raquel saying "I love you" to each other before watching it on screen, finding the situation "cringe." The speaker believes Tom misses her, not because anything has been said, but because he has lost his primary sounding board for advice and has been making questionable decisions.

Apologies Received and Tom's Obsession with Household Chores
Raquel's apology was a brief text message, described as "nothing." Tom's apology was also deemed "sub par" and felt like a rehearsed speech with no genuine remorse. The speaker finds Tom's focus on tasks like changing air filters and buying toilet paper, while claiming to "take care of the house," to be a strange obsession, especially since he had an assistant who handled such things.

Regrets, Self-Reflection, and the \"Plan\" to End the Relationship
The speaker reflects on whether she would change anything she did, concluding that she was a committed partner and did her best. She acknowledges she could have been less trusting but believes changing past actions wouldn't alter the outcome. The speaker discusses a "plan" to end the relationship under the guise of a Valentine's Day conversation, without mentioning any affair, to make Tom appear as the victim and Ariana as the one who "sucks."

Tom's Calculated Behavior and Relief at Discovering the Truth
The speaker describes Tom's actions as "wild" and a "whole plan," noting how he emerged complaining about the relationship's lack of connection and intimacy, which now appears diabolical in hindsight. The speaker expresses gratitude for discovering the truth, even if it was painful, because it prevented her from being a "cog in the machine" of their planned narrative.

Divine Intervention, Intuition, and Repulsive Discoveries
The speaker describes the moment of discovering the truth as a "lightning bolt" or "divine intervention," contrasting it with times she might have checked his phone, emphasizing the power of intuition. The speaker finds the use of other people's credit cards to fund the affair and the elaborate planning involved to be repulsive, feeling that Tom put others in difficult positions.

The Band as a Cover and Synchronized Intimacy?
The speaker questions if Tom's band was merely a cover for his affair, noting that while she was in love, the band's quality is debatable. The speaker is unsure if she had sex with Tom on the same day he was intimate with Raquel, acknowledging that such a detail would require further therapy.

Feelings About the Reunion and Production Challenges
Going into the reunion, the speaker felt a sense of unity with her friends (Sheena, Lala, Katie, James), who were all on the same page. This provided a boost of confidence, knowing she wasn't alone in her feelings. The speaker discusses the logistical challenges for production if significant events happen off-camera, as they prefer to capture everything in real-time during filming.

The Weirdness of the Reunion Period and Listening to Raquel
The three weeks leading up to the reunion were described as "really fucking weird." The speaker found it unusual not to be sitting next to Tom and not needing to translate his opinions, as she had done in the past. Listening to Raquel was "painful," not because her feelings were hurt, but because Raquel seemed disconnected from the reality of the situation, believing people were just "mad" and would eventually be "fine."

Emotions During the Reunion and Avoiding Eye Contact
The speaker experienced anger and sadness during the reunion. However, the overwhelming feeling was gratitude for her friends, and a sense of numbness due to the intensity of her anger. The speaker's initial intention was to avoid looking at either Tom or Raquel, communicating through Andy or Lisa if necessary. She planned to speak to "the emptiness" rather than them directly.

Closure from the Reunion and Breakups vs. Betrayal
The speaker felt she had closure before the reunion. While she said what she needed to say during the reunion, she felt that the situation itself made it easy for her to "not give a shit" about Tom. The speaker contrasts a typical breakup, filled with missing the person and questioning what could have been done differently, with a betrayal. In cases of betrayal, the person you loved is no longer the same, making it easier to move on.

Advice for Betrayal Victims and Hurtful Words
The speaker advises those going through similar situations to find hope in the betrayal itself, as it makes it easier to never look back. She emphasizes that the more hurtful the betrayal, the easier the healing process. The most hurtful aspect was Tom weaponizing Ariana's struggles with her mental health. She mentions a "wild" revelation coming out in the reunion that could impact cast members' decisions to return.

Speculation About Reunion Revelations and Rumors
There's speculation about what will be revealed at the reunion, including rumors of Raquel being pregnant or an affair starting during James and Raquel's era. The speaker doubts these specific rumors. The speaker dismisses the rumor that Raquel hooked up with Brock, stating there's "no way" that happened.

What Would Make Her Leave the Show? and Reunion Drama Severity
The only reason the speaker would not return to the show is if she felt unsafe or if her dog's safety was compromised. The speaker believes the upcoming reunion drama won't be as "crazy or wild" as some speculate, but rather more of the same "drama."

A Moment of Lightness and Relatability
The speaker suggests taking a moment to be happy and pour more drinks, shifting the mood briefly before continuing the discussion. The speaker acknowledges the relatability of the situation and recounts the moment she asked Tom to open his iPad, leading to the discovery of his infidelity with his nutritionist.

The Discovery of Sexting Nudes and Emotional Aftermath
The speaker describes finding sexting nudes of Tom with his nutritionist on his iPad, a discovery that led to her immediate realization of his betrayal. The speaker describes the complex emotions after discovering the betrayal, including a fleeting moment of wanting comfort from the person who hurt her, before the reality of the situation fully set in.

The Gut Punch of Betrayal and Advice for Newly Betrayed Individuals
The experience of betrayal is described as a "gut punch," where the love for the person is still present, but the reality of their actions is undeniable. For those who have just found out they were cheated on, the speaker advises allowing a brief moment to process the pain, then immediately distancing themselves from the person who betrayed them.

The Importance of No Contact and Apologies
The speaker stresses the importance of going "no contact" after a betrayal, as the person capable of such lies can easily manipulate their way back into one's life. The speaker warns that apologies often come from a place of being sorry they were caught, not genuine remorse. She shares that many women have experienced similar reactions from ex-partners.

The \"House of Cards\" Falling and Distortion of Reality
The anger and yelling stem from the "house of cards" falling, not from genuine remorse. The focus is on the disruption of their fabricated reality, not the pain caused to others. The speaker references Esther Perel's concept of distorted reality after infidelity, where trust is shattered, making it difficult to function. Surrounding oneself with supportive friends is crucial.

The Importance of Friends as Witnesses and Anchors
Having friends present during gaslighting or manipulation is vital, as they can validate your experience and confirm that it's not just in your head. Friends act as anchors, helping to pull you away from the person who hurt you. They have no ulterior motives and are solely focused on your well-being.

The Difficulty of Seeing Clearly and Loving Someone Who Hurt You
When you are in the midst of a traumatic experience, it becomes almost impossible to see things clearly. Friends help provide perspective and prevent you from returning to the source of the pain. The speaker highlights the paradox of still loving someone moments after discovering their betrayal. Friends are essential to navigate this emotional turmoil and remind you of the reality of the situation.

Talking Through Feelings with Friends and the Power of No Contact
It's important to talk to friends about missing the person or reminiscing about good times, but to maintain no contact with the betrayer. The speaker emphasizes that going "no contact" was a crucial decision, even if it was difficult, and credits seeing advice on TikTok for reinforcing this approach.

Not Repeating Past Mistakes and Setting Boundaries
The speaker rejects the idea of a drawn-out, messy custody battle over a pet, stating she will take the dog, as she was responsible for its adoption and care. Setting boundaries enrages the person who is being held accountable. The speaker questions the authenticity of Tom's breakdown at Lisa's, given his past behavior.

The Finality of Conversation and Incredible Support System
The speaker informed Tom that he would not have another conversation with her, emphasizing that their interactions were over. Friends created a spreadsheet to ensure the speaker was never alone for weeks, even flying in to support her attendance at a wedding and staying with her upon her return. The speaker expresses immense gratitude for her friends, describing them as an "incredible group of girls, gays and theys" who provided unwavering support.

The Torture of Going Through It Alone and Coping Mechanisms
The speaker stresses the importance of accepting help from others during difficult times, as going through trauma alone is "torture." The speaker discusses unhealthy coping mechanisms like isolation and sleeping, and criticizes her partner for misinterpreting her need for emotional support as depression or laziness.

The Disconnect in Intimacy and Men's Lack of Understanding
The speaker highlights the disconnect in intimacy, where her partner complains about lack of sex while she is in bed, waiting for emotional connection before physical intimacy. The speaker humorously remarks on men's perceived lack of understanding regarding intimacy and emotional connection.

Relationship Status Update and Meeting the New Partner
The speaker confirms she is seeing someone who lives across the country, describing the relationship as "really, really great" and progressing well. The speaker met her new partner at a wedding shortly after discovering the infidelity, emphasizing that their connection began with deep conversations.

Grieving, Moving Forward, and Quality Time
The speaker acknowledges that grieving is an ongoing process but emphasizes that it's possible to find happiness and connect with new people simultaneously. The speaker values the quality time and deep conversations she shares with her new partner, finding it fulfilling after her previous relationship.

Seeing Her New Partner for Work and Advice on Timelines
The speaker has been able to see her new partner more frequently due to work commitments in New York, enjoying their time together. The speaker advises against judging others' timelines for healing and finding new relationships after trauma, emphasizing the importance of doing what feels right for oneself.

Not Overthinking New Relationships and Honesty/Vulnerability
The speaker advises against overthinking when entering new relationships after a long-term one, encouraging honesty and vulnerability. Honesty and vulnerability are presented as the "sexiest" qualities in a person, both in casual dating and serious relationships.

Setting Clear Boundaries and Accepting Happiness
The speaker emphasizes the importance of being clear about boundaries and what one is ready for in a new relationship, as she was with her new partner. The speaker encourages accepting happiness and good things even while healing from trauma, stating there is "nothing bad about that."

Judging Others' Healing Processes and Clear Endings
The speaker criticizes those who judge others' healing processes, suggesting they either haven't experienced similar trauma or have found a different path that worked for them. When someone commits a significant betrayal, the "door is slammed shut," making it easier to grieve the relationship compared to one with ambiguity.

Lack of Contact from Tom's Family and Aspirations for Independence
The speaker notes that Tom's family has not reached out to her, finding it "kind of weird" given their nine-year relationship. The speaker desires independence on all levels, including financial success, opening a sandwich shop with Katie, and owning her own home.

Opening a Sandwich Shop and Solo Homeownership Goal
The speaker and Katie are opening a sandwich shop on Jackson Street, addressing the perceived lack of good sandwich options in LA. A key goal for the speaker is to become a solo homeowner, owning her own home without anyone else on the deed.

Identity Outside the Scandal and Real People Behind Reality TV
The speaker wishes for people to see her beyond the scandal, highlighting her love for simple things like walks on the beach, rosé, and travel. The speaker emphasizes that despite the drama of reality TV, the individuals involved are real people with genuine feelings and experiences.

The Power of Female Solidarity and Resilience
The speaker believes that women, when they team up, are "unstoppable" and hopes that the current situation will foster greater unity among women. The speaker is praised for her class and level-headedness during a difficult time, with the sentiment that she "deserves so much fucking better."

Fear of Reunion Broadcast and Blacking Out
The speaker expresses a slight fear about how she will be perceived watching the reunion, hoping she wasn't "too cut through." The speaker humorously suggests she "blacked out" during the reunion, anticipating Lala's dramatic performance and hoping Ariana will be right there with her.
