Wow! We didn’t expect to hear this!

Brittany Cartwright is opening up about her long-coming split from hubby Jax Taylor — but she says she is still struggling with the idea of actually going their separate ways. In a new interview US Weekly on Wednesday, The Valley star said she even believed a reconciliation was possible for the longest time:
“It has been such a roller-coaster deciding to separate. I really thought that we would be able to get back to a place where we could probably get back together.”
She went on to say she wanted to attempt “everything possible” to avoid the breakup:
“I didn’t know for sure, but I really wanted to try everything I possibly could to save my marriage and keep my family together.”
Aww… that’s so sad! Of course, a divorce was the last thing she wanted for the couple’s little one, Cruz Michael Cauchi.
Despite everything, though, the 35-year-old reality TV personality is feeling “confident” she made the right choice:
“It’s just been a roller-coaster of emotions; a lot of ups [and] a lot of downs, but I also feel like I’ve gotten so much stronger throughout all of this. I’m really feeling confident in my decision, and I think that a lot of people are going to be able to relate to everything I’m going through.”
We mean, between all their problems over the years — like cheating, lying, fighting, and more — it was probably the best decision.
She went on to tell the outlet it “was not a quick decision” to leave, she truly believed they were end game — and apparently he never expected it, either:
“I did not expect this for myself. I never thought that I would be divorcing him. I always thought we would be together forever. But again, I do feel very confident in my decision and it was not a quick decision for me. I have been separated since January, so this took a lot of courage and a lot of strength for me to actually go through with it. I don’t think that he ever thought that I would go through with it.”
We’re glad to hear she’s taking something positive out of this, at least! Thoughts, Perezcious readers?
