Shocking Revelation: My Husband Confessed He's Transgender! | Am I The Only One

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 พ.ค. 2024
- Welcome back to "Am I the Only One," where I delve into life's toughest moments with honesty and vulnerability. In this episode, I embark on a deeply personal journey, sharing the story of my husband of 10 years revealing his transgender identity to me.
This is a topic laden with complexity and emotion, and I approach it with the utmost respect and sensitivity. My intention is not to speak for anyone else but to share my own experience and perception. Over the course of two years, I grappled with the profound implications of this revelation while attempting to salvage our marriage.
Divorce is never easy, especially when intertwined with such a significant life change. I candidly recount the challenges, the heartache, and the growth that accompanied this period of my life.
It's crucial to acknowledge that every individual's journey is unique, and my story is just one thread in the rich tapestry of human experience. My aim is to offer hope and encouragement to others who may find themselves facing similar circumstances, assuring them that they are not alone.
Join me as I open up about a chapter of my life marked by love, loss, and ultimately, resilience.

== About Me ==
Hello! I'm Ashley, a travel enthusiast who loves to explore and share everything I learn along the way. I have traveled to over 70 countries and have made it my mission to dig into the culture, history, food, and language as much as I can. I not only want to share my passion for the world but also encourage my viewers to get out and experience it for themselves. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to inspire others to challenge their miss conceptions and step out of what makes them comfortable in hopes of trying or experience something new that may change their life forever.
Be sure to subscribe to my TH-cam channel to catch all that I’m up to.
As a born again Christian woman, I didn't believe in divorce until I found out my husband of 25 years was bisexual and had been cheating with people our whole marriage. It has taken me over 10 years to not feel totally broken. It's taken almost 20 years to forgive him. I still have C-PTSD as he was a narcissist, and lately I realize I was lucky to come out alive. It does feel shameful to divorce, but the Lord does not want us to be unhappy and in those types of relationships. I am now married to a wonderful Christian man, and I now feel completely loved. There can still be a wonderful life after coming through something that totally shatters us to pieces. ❤
If your spouse is sleeping with other people, you can and should divorce, I believe that is biblical.
The same happened to me. Four children later, whom I had to primarily raise, time has helped.
I made horrible mistakes that cost me 25 years of my life. Those mistakes were made because I was over sheltered as a young person and I didn’t know any better.
Now I am married to a wonderful person who doesn’t “tell me “ I am loved, but shows me every day.
I still don’t trust 100%.
I was abandoned by my parents and my grandparents raised me from a point of trauma, and did the best they could. Sadly, it wasn’t the best for me….
❤thank you!
With God, all things are possible ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing, this is encouraging me to know that people come out to the other side, Happy and blessed.
❤
No, God doesnt want us to be abused and you were most certainly you were abused! God bless you.
To me, the gaslighting is the worst. When you feel something is off but the other person keeps saying it's nothing. Makes you question yourself and your own sanity.
Thanks for this honest and at the same time very respectful video ❤
There may have been no intention on the part of the former spouse to gaslight. They sound like pretty unsure of what was happening themselves.
It's just an unfortunate situation all around. No doubt there was love on both sides, as she states, but flat out she didn't fall in love and marry another woman and that's an unreasonable expectation to ask her to continue the marriage.
Thank you for sharing your Story to hopefully help others. You are very Strong, Loving and Kind and I love your Mom’s energy, she is amazing. Blessings ❤️🙏
@@dazeyday5699 Exactly, especially as he didn’t feel he could continue in the form that the marriage was, why should he expect her to go along with something she didn’t want to. That’s not what she signed up for.
@@dazeyday5699 31:46
I knew your ex growing up as kids together. My heart has been just raw for you knowing what you have gone through. I’m glad you’re finally opening up and sharing your story. ❤
Was he a boy or a girl when a child ?
Was he always a narcissist? It's plain as day in the videos.
Your voice deserves to be heard. Spouses, family, etc. often get overlooked in situations like these as the “main character’s” feelings tend to take up all the space.
Great point!
So many ppl just act like the loved ones should just be 'happy' their 'true self' us out now and they forget that the parents are losing their son in a way, etc. Especially when the person changes so much of who they were and is disconnected from the family now. It's so hard on everyone
Very good point
It's peak misogyny, a deep hatred and contempt for women, in which these MEN feel entitled to wasting the best years of our lives and then discarding us like trash when THEY are ready to announce to the world that they're perverts
Well said 👍🏻
Your mum is absolutely fantastic at interviewing. You should have her on your channel in the future if you're interviewing other people.
She's so calming and easy to talk to. 👍
I thought this too :)
I agree.
Amazing respectability. I wish you well. Thank you for sharing.
She does seem like a lovely woman. But I can also see how she could have indiretly contributed to the naivety of this situation. Where are the boundaries with these people? They let the mainstream media determine their morality(?)...what is to be accepted and what is not?
I thought that too! She’s a natural.
As the father of a daughter the same age as Ash I take my hat off to her mother for getting through this interview. Few things are worse in life than seeing your little girl in pain.
Yes indeed, Ash's Mum handled it with such composure and grace. God bless all the wonderful Mums. I'd also like to say, though your comment was quite short, it conveyed so much. I think I can correctly surmise, that your daughter, like myself have truly been blessed with wonderful Fathers. It's sad that many aren't so fortunate.
🥇 I place this medal here to honour all the incredible Fathers and Mothers who are towers of strength, beacons of hope and harbours of Love and comfort for us when adversities come.
Ash, you are an inspiration, though your cross is soul crushingly heavy your love, integrity and loyalty remain. I pray you will soon heal fully and once again be filled with joy. Sending you Big snuggly 🧸 hugs.
May God bless and keep us all.
Much Love from Ireland ☘

In 1978 I found out my now x husband wanted to be a woman 3 weeks after we married. I continued with the marriage not understanding what he was talking about. There was no internet back then and I had nobody I trusted to talk to. His mom was not approachable. He never transitioned, but we divorced 13 years later when he met a woman who thought she was a man while attending college. Years later I found out his whole family knew about him wanting to be a woman before we were married, but didnt feel I had the right to know. My husband and I did end up having 2 children. Our experience and feelings are similar so you are telling my story. I have been divorced 36 years and he has since passed away. I feel cheated beyond words. I never had the eternal marriage he promised me.
Stay strong, we may never understand, but we are worthy of peace in our lives.
You did not deserve that and I'm sorry that happened to you. I pray for you to be blessed in every way possible going forward.
This is wrong on so many levels. Thank god for the children. 💕 But that is beyond deceitful. (I transitioned as a child but even back then I knew if I made the choice I couldn’t reproduce) I couldn’t imagine lying and hurting someone under the institution of marriage. ❤
@@SarinaValentinaxo you transitioned as a child...yeah, sure you did.
Smh@@SarinaValentinaxo
but you stayed after finding out 3 weeks into the marriage....you cheated yourself
Your mom needs her own show.
A very raw, and honest interview. You're incredibly brave to be so open. I have a lifelong friend who was married for 20 years with 4 children, and his wife came out as lesbian. He showed the same bravery, empathy and honesty as yourself. Kudos to you
I can’t imagine how hard it is to be this vulnerable but your story matters. Your feelings matter, just as much as your exe’s. Thank you for trusting us enough to share this with us ❤️
They matter more...she didn't do anything wrong. She's the victim not the perpetrator.
@@swisschalet1658 exactly!!
10000% Ash is an example of everything good and honorable.
We hear the other side way too often from the deceiver living a double life
@abigailh7715 You've made such an important point. The Husband's have been misleading in these,relationships . No one asks how the wives are coping or what they go through.
His feelings don’t matter. He betrayed his wife and waisted 10 years of her life
Thank you for sharing your story. My 31 year old daughter is about a year into this same journey, but still married so far. Ash, it helps me to hear your feelings and experience as the wife in this situation, as it is hard to hear or discuss with my own daughter. We are also trying to navigate the changes this has caused in our mother daughter relationship. It’s so complicated! You are brave to share this publicly and God’s going to use you. I know God is going to restore the years the locusts have eaten in your life. Thank you again.
Her spouse will become totally absorbed in their journey at the exclusion of everyone else’s needs and feelings. It’s my experience that the longer your daughter stays the worse her mental health will get.
Oh Ashley, everytime you cry I also well up. I remember when you want through this and what a shock it was. I had a huge shock happen to me in my relationship at the same time as yours and I have always felt invested in your recovery as a result. It is hard to love the person who is the cause of so much pain but when they don't wish to cause that pain and they are going through their own pain, it's so complicated. You are an inspiration and so worthy of love. Your mum is great too and she so obviously loves you. Thanks for sharing and being so brave.
You have my respect for making this video and taking your channel this direction.
Its very refreshing to see people approach difficult subjects with honesty and the intent to move forward from them as a better person. I hope you revisit this topic in the future when the subject isnt so sensitive around the world so you feel like you can give your full story with honesty. It hurt me to know that you're trying so hard to be honest, but still have to stop yourself.
That being said you're already being very brave and I couldn't be happier to know people are out there that have been through situations like yours and want to grow and become a better person from the situation rather than trying to bury it or pretend that it doesn't bother them or they don't feel hurt.
I think popularizing this type of straight, honest, painful self reflection would do wonders for our damaged human psyche. So thank you, Ash, for being willing to carry this banner for the millions who are still too hurt or afraid to do it for themselves.
Beautiful comment! ❤
Well put; and it made me Think, that this too is a Channel of breaking out of bounderies: that are stopping us from exploring life openly.
Not in the World of Geology but Psycology… from the outerworld to the inner World 🤔
I commend you for your honesty. In these times of social media, I've found a real lack of genuine posts or videos that have reached out to me. I have also suffered loss like you and others; one of the best things I learned along the way was that it is okay to grieve the life you thought you would have. I'm sure as you've found the grief ebbs and flows and with time, we are able to process and cope differently. You are a kind and well intended person and it shows. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Wishing you happiness, peace and health
I just want to hug you. You can see that this is a hurt that is still so deep. How does one even attempt to make it thru this. You should be proud of the strong person you have become. Tears are still ok with gaining strength. I commend you on how much grace and understanding you have given him/her. As with many viewers, I saw this unfolding on YT, and even as a viewer you just can’t believe this is happening. I can’t imagine the confusion and pain you were going thru. You are a loving, big hearted young woman. I wish you the best things in your future. And also, your mom is amazing. So glad you have a loving support system.
i can remember seeing the video where yourself and your husband basically explained the situation years back. it is great you have put this content out as there will be so many who can relate.
Ah Ashley - at the 49 minute mark, I started losing it for you. My heart still hurts for you, and all you have gone through. It is understandable, the grief, the depression, the sadness after your life has forever changed. You are so brave to put this out there, and I know it is going to help some people. I've told you this before, but you are a beauitul ray of sunshine, and there is someone out there for you. Someone who will love and appreciate you for the wonderful person you are. He will be a very lucky person to share your life. Thank you for doing this interview. Your Mom was great! Sending you a big hug Ashley. - Coreen 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Happened to me also 30 years ago. He wanted to leave and live his life but wanted me to keep it secret until he could save enough to get his own place. But I found out he was going to drag bars dressing up on the days he was out of town working. That was my you need to get out moment. He has tried to make my life miserable since. My question still is what did I actually do to him to deserve this treatment. It has been a sad 30 years. I am still heartbroken . I would say dont keep their secret you dont have to demonize them but by speaking your truth you are living your truth. What they did happened to us. Just like they say they have the right to be who they want be and want to be understood and respected we also have that right.
❤❤❤ you are brave and damn right!
They are men, everything always has to be about them. They are selfish. I'm so sorry you had to be put through this and then made to feel like your feelings don't matter. They do matter. Just not to him because he only cares about himself ❤
Ashley! It’s me, Nathan, from Hollywood CG! Hey, I appreciate your raw and honest talk here. So heartfelt. I really hear you.
It hurts my heart to hear she held stuff in and didn’t reach out to family and friends while they were figuring out next steps during their marriage but I’m glad she got her family’s support and counseling afterwards. Wishing Ash finds her happy ending!
Me too. Lucky will be the guy who is in her future ❤
Hey Ashley! Thank you for sharing.
Your desicion to take this road with your channel is amazing. I know you will be successful with it and in the process, you will help so many people. God is definitely using you right now. I can't wait to see your future videos.
I only spotted your main channel when you posted your divorce video. And I really enjoyed your videos when you lived in Washington.
And yes, your mum is awesome interviewer! 😊
Thank you for speaking from your heart

Ash you’ve come a long way but it’s painfully clear that you’re not fully healed. Completely understandable. As someone else mentioned, I do hope you eventually circle back and address this topic when you truly are healed (take your time). You don’t owe any of us anything so that remains your prerogative. I do feel that your experience could truly be so helpful for others going through this extremely difficult subject matter. When you refer to your ex spouse as “this person” and are very hesitant to discuss the things that would really help, it’s obvious you’re not ready. Let me be clear, I’m not talking about revealing salacious details. Your pain is so raw. Your instinct to be protective is hindering your ability to tell YOUR story. It’s okay to be honest without being vindictive or revengeful. I think it’s crystal clear that you don’t want to inflict harm. Unfortunately YOU are the one being harmed by not telling YOUR TRUTH. I can only imagine that this set of circumstances would (by its very nature) include issues with betrayal, trust, self esteem, anxiety, depression, anger, sadness, shame. I’m sure that there are painful issues on BOTH sides. I’m sure your ex, in telling and living his truth, has had to dispense with being overprotective of you. While painful for you, wouldn’t you agree…understandable? You also must dispense with being overprotective to tell and live YOUR TRUTH. Some things in life are just sensitive and painful. Your truth is important. I look forward to seeing you fully healed and standing in your unvarnished truth. ❤
Also, upon re-reading your comment don't you feel she fully describes those feelings of trust issues, anxiety, depression, betrayal etc that you are calling for in this video? I think she does an excellent job. You-tube audience is not her therapist. What more could you really ask of her?
I hope this video was cathartic for her to make, and she goes back to making her joyful travel videos if that's what she really loves and enjoys in the future, without feeling that she now has a "ministry" to keep delving into this for the online public. But that's not my decision, that is hers alone,
Ashley can live her unvarnished truth off camera. We are strangers and it is none of our business to know more details. Privacy is delicate matters is crucial for everyone and getting into more detail on the internet would be inappropriate. Bless Ashley and the whole family. She and her mom did beautifully in their dignity, respect, and showing the pain as well as the love.
You are a very kind person, and I am glad you've developed fair boundaries for your heart.
Oh Ashley I just think you are the brightest soul. ❤ you are loved! You have inspired me to live more fully - whether that means being more vulnerable in relationships or traveling to new places❤
Ashley, your mother did a great service to you for guiding you through the right and good questions, etc., but YOU, Ashley, were and are SO SO BRAVE! Thank you for this vlog and for being open and vulnerable and kudos to you for getting through....and keep moving through.....God is good and has you in the palm of His hand! Teresa
Thank you Teresa. My mom knows me better then anyone so I do think she was the best person to film this with. I trust fully I am right where God wants me. :) -Ash
As a Mom... I must commend your Mom for being SO calm and open herself... even though this has been unbelievably difficult on all of you. You are a brave lady... I hope you are still seeking counseling because for a very long time issues will rise that need to be honestly dealt with. I wish you love and happiness and one day all the dreams you dream will one day come true. Thank you for sharing. It was not easy.... nor will it ever be.
That was a very sweet comment….thank you from one mom to another❤️Thank you for your support of Ashley and kind words.🥰
I started watching you when you did the Melbourne videos because that's where I am. I did think at that time there was something not quite right going on but couldn't put my finger on it. I've got to say you are an incredibly strong woman to have been gone through that experience and come out the other side. I know it is not as clear cut as that. There are always times when it hits you again and again. But I must say all strength to you, to come through not bitter, certainly bruised and battered. Now regaining the trust in people is the challenge. You need to go through it so you can truly move on. I must say too, all respect to your Mum, for having the strength to take you through this video and help you along the way. Stay strong Ash. 😍😍🦘🦘
You did a great job telling and sharing such a personal experience! Happy you're on the other side of this. Wishing you peace always.
I'm a long term follower and watched all your videos from thewayaway and you did an absolutely amazing job at explaining everything here kudos to you! Your mum did an amazing job as an interviewer and would love to see her appear more on your channel!! Best of Luck Ash you deserve happiness!! X ☘️
One of my first dates with my now husband was to your wedding. I also saw his change just through your TH-cam channel and just want to say you showed so much strength during that time. I pray for you always.

You handled a heartbreaking situation so maturely! As your mother said with so much grace! An inspiration!
I have so much respect for you Ash, your experience was clearly very painful and difficult. Thank you for sharing :)
Great interview Ash! The law of attraction states we should focus on what we want not what we don't. It might be easier to move on from your marriage is you ask yourself "What if they changed back and wanted me back? Could I take them back or even trust them again?" If the answer is no then you can let it go permanently and focus on the next love of your life as there are plenty of fish in the sea. There are no guarantees in life and as much as we want something to last forever that is not always the case. People change. Be willing to accept that and your next partner may just be the love of your life without you expecting it. The future is wide open :)
Thank you Ash, you did a great job addressing your situation. I found you very respectful to your ex. And the format with your mom asking you questions was fantastic. Kudos to your mom, she did a great job, 💕
Thanks for sharing. I’ve watched your videos for many years. This was a shock even to me as a viewer. I love your new content and channel. You are so inspiring!
You and your mum did this video beautifully. Thank you so much for telling your story ash . So pleased you have found someone and hope all the best for your future together ❤❤
Thank you for sharing. I can't imagine how you navigated that. But clearly you are stronger than you think and quite an amazing person.
This was a awesome video! This might help other people who finds themselves in a similar situation. Also help us maybe understand some of the things you & other couples had to go through. You’re a beautiful & strong person. Your compassion & love are your strength. Now you have your whole future ahead of you to do anything with this added strength & knowledge. You will find in your life there will be different paths along the way. Life is a adventure & book! You never know what each chapters will take you. I pray you have very many chapters filled with happiness & love. Thank you so much for sharing this. You are very brave. Also your mom did great with taking & asking questions. Sending love & blessings your way to you & everyone involved in this story. Have a wonderful week! 👍🥰🙏💚
Thank you for your kind support of Ashley. It is so appreciated. She is brave and wants to be real and speak truth so others can break through their own experiences and share about them for the sake of others! Your support is very sweet.
I certainly understand some of the emotions you went through Ash, although my circumstances were very different. Wishing you all the very best, you deserve happiness
Oh Ash, you are a lovely woman and I love how you have chosen to be respectful & walk into the light. Your mom was brilliant too.
What an absolute blessing for such an amazing Mom. I am so glad that you’re at a place where you can share your truth. You continue to shine even through your pain and grief. I’m excited to see what God has in store for you in the future. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you!❤️✨❤️✨💫💫💫
Ashley you're very respectful of your ex but in my opinion, he wasted your time by not telling you straight up his intentions. He deceived you for years and broke your beautiful heart. I can see you're still deeply hurt and wish you love and healing. You matter❤ And your mom is great!
It's yet another form of gaslighting misogyny and abuse against women who have to tip toe around the topic and "forgive" these psychopaths.
Yep, we're supposed to accept everyone, but do you not hold someone accountable for treating you as a place holder until they felt comfortable enough to come out? Hmm.
Thank you for sharing such personal experience of hardship and how you've overcome it and grown and blossomed despite the adversity. I've followed your story. You're so amazing! Your mother is, as well. I wish you only love and happiness from now on.
Hi Ashley, That was quite a hard watch, Thank you for being open & honest about your experience👏I hope Alexis has found some inner peace & found their authentic self🙏 It seems your natural positivity can get you through any situation life can throw at you!! You are a very Inspirational person so just keep on being you💚✌️PS Your Mum is an excellent Interviewer/Counsellor!!👏💚✌️ All the best for the Future & your new relationship, Best Wishes Jim, UK 🇺🇸💚🇬🇧🙏X
ur very lucky to have had so much support ashley. cant say ive been thru what you have been thru but ive gone thru my own and when it happened it felt like my hardships were just being used as gossip among my fam, it was tough. but hey what goes around comes around. alot of them dealt with their own life altering things and THEY became gossip. anyway i learned a WHOLE LOT frm that experience and tbh it opened my eyes to who really mattered and who didnt
Respect Ash. You are dignified honest and loving. Grace.
I watched you guys all through your travels. I think you both went into your marriage 100% committed but then your ex either changed or felt safe enough with you that he was able to allow a secret part (even to himself) to come out and be himself. I think it was hard on both of you. It doesn't mean you loved each other less or that your marriage wasn't meaningful. I wish love, peace and happiness for both of you!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
The fact that it was difficult for her ex does not change the fact that he is the deceitful one and she is the victim who dragged her into a matter in which she had no part. He used her as a cover for his lies until he came to a conclusion with himself about his life. sad.
@@Avigailish People who are in incredible pain and fear, as I’m sure he was during that time, often don’t WANT to see the truth that they know deep down but can’t admit. They hope it goes away. Until you’ve walked in their shoes, you cannot understand and can’t fairly judge.
@@Avigailishthis video is about HER story, not the ex. She specifically said she doesn't want to be seen as a victim in the video. She wants to give empathy and to be empathized with, as any human would, for a difficult and painful situation. Let's honor that.
Your brainwashed attitude regarding this topic is absolutely sickening to me
GOD thank you for this woman that has endured the worst pain and you have kept her light shining bright. I pray that when the time is right you bring the right person in her life that loves unconditionally and know how to love her the way that she should be treated. I just saw this video and then went to the other channel and saw Her video and you are being so respectful when you could have been bitter and mean. I will continue to watch your traveling adventures as I think that will help you so much with this chapter in your life.
I appreciated that you shared your story and still made space for the experience of your ex. It’s complex and you navigated it with grace.
I miss that person. I hope they are doing well. Thank you to you and your mom for sharing! 🫶
Thank you for sharing your story, Ash! This will definitely help people and you are very brave for sharing!
And, your mom is an amazing interviewer too by the way!
Loved seeing Sandy on the channel, she made this very professional and I am sure it helped you to have her there. Love you both
This was even hard to watch as an audience over the years!! Love watching you grow. I hope you’ve found peace beautiful spirit. I am sure this was not easy for you to express.
Sending love and best wishes Ashley! It’s a difficult and traumatic experience you went through. Thanks for sharing your story. By the way your mom is amazing ❤️ God bless you all.
I just started watching & loving your channel when this started. But I enjoy watching your channel as well. I love your mom! You’re lucky to have her!! Hang in there! Stay strong! Continue growing on your own & you’ll know when you’re ready to trust & love 100% again.
One of the most difficult things I found to come to terms with was just how unfair it was that even though I did nothing wrong. I still had to bare the heartache of losing someone I loved. It just felt so unjust to have to go through that having not done anything wrong. I think that's what I empathised with and what resonated with you and your story. And kind of compelled me to comment. Even though the details were different, it's still that feeling of how unfair life & love can be. To see you come through and still face it with grace and dignity is very inspiring & I hope important for someone else to see. Super brave video that ash. Thank you for you and mum sharing. Time heals all. And it never hurts as much as the first time.
Ash, can really feel your heartbreak. You’re such a sweet kind soul, grieving & working through it with integrity & high regards for your spouse. Generously sharing such a painful & difficult experience with us. I don’t know how I would react to this traumatic situation. You have a big loving heart & I hope you heal & find your person x
I love you for sharing all of this, Ash. You are truly a blessing.
Thank you for sharing your story Ashley ❤ I’ve said it before but your ability to pick yourself up after going through something really difficult and looking for a way forward is really admirable 🥰
Thank you for being so open and sharing your story. It will help others going through something similar.
I remember when I first watched you and your ex, you guys were in Bali with other TH-camrs. At that time I saw something was off, I then caught up with you guys a couple years later…and then saw even more changes, thinking I wonder if she knows ?? And then watched you guys last video……..I oftentimes wondered and thought about how you were doing. Thank you Ashley for your bravery and your gentle words of wisdom. Life will bless you you are a very special person
Ash you are so brave. And how lucky you are to have such a supportive family. Not just because of what you struggled with. But giving you strength because you are loved no matter what.
Thanks for sharing such a difficult experience in such a kind way. True grace under pressure. Wishing you the best going forward ❤
I’m surprised at how much I could identify with so many things you said and went through, although my situation was much more common. I have also struggled with the same issues you are working through now. I think the majority of people end up having SOMETHING at some point in their lives that makes them question everything, shatters their dreams (for children, career etc), harms their ability to trust and believe others, etc. Thank you for sharing your heart, your video can help so many others in many different situations. It will get better and you will find your forever. Prayers 🙏
Ash, thank you for sharing. I actually discovered you through your previous channel with your husband and didn’t suspect anything. You handled everything with such grace and class.
same here...i found them when doing research on an european vacation some years back...and started watch them from that point on.....ive noticed some stuff but didnt make anything of it. i think it was the european river cruise when they were in germany i was like....ok is he wearing womens leggings lol. my spouse was like...hes wearing womens sunglasses and wearing a womans coat....and theres was a shot of him sitting with his legs crossed and we looked at each other like......i wonder does Ash knows. Tough situation to deal with indeed.

You're stronger than you know or give yourself credit for, it's hard to tell yourself that sometimes, gosh I find it hard to tell myself that sometimes, but to put this out shows an enormous level of vulnerability, acceptance, courage, and strength. I can't really say much else, it's not my place to say or to speculate, but keep your head high and be proud of yourself. God bless you.
I love you ash! I also am so proud of you! (not that you need me to) Knowing you before when you lived in washington/LA and then world wide I saw the many versions of you through the years. You are such an amazing woman. I am always here for you, just a DM away
You are such a kind sole and talking things though is good and people handle things in different ways .You have come out the other side a much stronger person.
Ash such an in depth and personal video. While I knew some of the details from watching your channels. Seeing how you were dealing with it over the years shows your inner strength to overcome a difficult situation. I think the most important thing you said is each situation is different because of the individual people involved.
Finally, your mother was an amazing moderator.
Thank you soxrox! You have been a part of this community for so long. Thank you for that!
Thank you both for creating this very informative, helpful video. Although difficult to re-experience the emotions you went through during such a devastating time, I thank you for the knowledge you have shared. The information here is helpful to many who have experienced deceit and betrayal in different forms that ultimately led to the end of a relationship. We love you, Ash.❤
Ashley, you are a very brave and strong woman. Thank you for sharing your story!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. ❤️ I’m looking forward to seeing what wonders life has in store for you.
It is very brave of you to share your story. You are a great person and I hope wonderful things come your way. ❣️
I feel for you so much. What a difficult prediciment for you both! I definitely have empathy for both sides.
Love you Ash! Thank you for sharing your story with such grace and honesty.
Oh Ash, was a hard watch seeing you being being vulnerable instead of your usual cheerful bubbly self 🧡
Thanks for sharing, you are very beautiful & strong! It takes time to heal after an end of relationship, divorce and finding your way and direction ❤ Good bless
This was a very good and honest interview. It is understandable why you did not want to discuss certain aspects, and that is honorable. I love that you shared your faith and how you struggled with it and also used it to get you through it. Your mother did a great job! Thank you for sharing.
Ashley, thank you for loving him at the time the best way you knew how to.
Thank you for loving yourself enough to do what was right for you.
Thank you for sharing on this sensitive topic. Thank you for being a resource for people who may be going through similar things and don't have a support system.
Your Mummy did such a great job talking through this video with you. So grounded. Well done Mum!!!
I agree and thank you for affirming her. She gave it all she had and ultimately had to make hard choices. She is an overcomer!
So sorry that happened to you and your vulnerability to shed light on such a hard time. Your mother is amazing! You never know what’s going on behind the scenes in someone’s life but being real and vulnerable is refreshing and therapeutic! Stay strong your amazing❤
Ash you have such a kind heart....this video I'm sure is going to help someone who ever needs to hear this.
Thank you for sharing Ashley. You are a brave, strong, and deeply compassionate person.
You have such a beautiful soul Ashley. I’m so sorry for everything you had to weather, and all the feelings that came with that experience. Ignore the jerks. You handle your story with such grace, even when there was so much hurt and confusion that you had to endure. I love when your happy self shows up in video, and I hope to see more happiness in your future.
Also as a former journalist, you and your mother gave us a great interview. ❤
I was a follower back when everything happened. You are correct, you knew something was different and happening. You just couldn’t put your finger on it. I think your followers felt the same way. We knew something was different, but we didn’t know what. Your compassion and empathy is commendable. You have handled all of this with so much grace and should be proud of yourself. You’ve been extremely respectful of your previous spouse. I don’t think a lot of people could be as respectful. I hope you find true happiness and love. You deserve it. ❤
Ash - you are amazing! So loving and kind. Truly an interview from the heart. Wishing you love and joy always!!
Oh Ash you haven’t got over this yet. I went through something in my marriage so I know how you feel, not the same as yours but very stressful. Your family will help you and I wish you all the best for the future.
You handled your situation with grace Ash and your mum is clearly a great support too
I do love and adore her…she is a treasure😀
Ash you nailed it. Hang in there. I know it's still raw. You are the strongest most courageous woman I know. You've gone through so many changes in such a short space of time, most of it with the most infectious smile on your face. I look forward to your next adventures. No grass growing under those feet. Xx
You are a lovely woman, Ash! Your smile was always the cutest thing in your vlog videos…Please never lose who you are. We love you ❤
Ash I feel more endeared to you than ever. The courage you have in discussing this..immeasurable. And what a rock star your mom is. She's a natural. Feel free to include her more in the future if she wants. God Bless. (HUG)
Be proud of yourself. You are very kind and caring. You went through a very hard situation but came out of it stronger than ever. Keep being you girl.❤❤🙏🌹👸🏼
I'm so so proud of the way you have handled all this Ash . Your a wonderful human being . I can see where it comes from seeing your mum there with you. I wish you lots of love and happiness for now and your future 💞💞💞
Wow, what a raw and honest interview. I wish you well, Ash!
Thank you for being brave and sharing your experience with your followers... even though it was painful to relive those difficult moments in your life.
Great idea to film this with your mom. She's wonderful!❤
That was a very moving discussion.
Your ability to be respectful towards your ex, whilst opening up about the effect their needs and 'choices' had, and still has, on you, having had everything ripped out from under you, is so impressive.
I hope that someone who needs to watch this finds their way here.
You met the challenge and prevailed. What a strong, loving woman you are and you will always rise up and thrive. What an awesome Mom you have.
Thank you for sharing. Glad you stayed strong and chose your faith ❤
Ashley you are an amazing young woman with how you have dealt with what happened to you. Hopefully all your dreams will come true in the future. Your mum is lovely & supportive .❤
Glad you have been able to come through this Ashley.
Hope she's getting professional help.. she's been hurting a LONG time
@@carlalayne3942 we all do
My heart goes out to you having to go through this. Sending you a big hug. Having said that I have to say that you have my respect regarding the way that you dealt with things as well as how open and honest you were in this video chat with your mum about what you have gone through. I don't think you realize fully how strong a person you are. Your inner strength will keep you moving onwards. I wish you all the best for an amazing future.
