[Alexia] Seeing Darion and Dr. Nicole today,
I'm just really ready to get it over with.
Everyday I replay it through my head like,
what the hell was he thinking.
I haven't seen Darion since
he cheated on me.
So, I'm just curious
to hear what he's gonna say.
It could be the end of this relationship.
-Hey there. -Hey.
How you doing?
A lot better.
[Darion] Today, me and Alexia are meeting with Dr. Nicole,
because I'm trying to mend my situation with Lex.
Hey there, Mr. Darion.
[Darion] Being with Lex 14 years,
there's too much vested in it,
to just throw it away.
You want to tell me where things are?
Uh, up in the air.
A lot of things have happened
that has gotten in the way
of our mission.
And at this point, I'm just trying to make it okay.
But she just won't talk to me.
What did you think this would look like?
I was going to tell her, eventually.
But I needed to get her
all the way on my side first.
As far as like getting rid of the condo,
everything that she needed me to do.
That's what I was working on.
When were you gonna tell me?
Had she not blurted it out,
you probably would have never told me.
And if you would have told me,
it could have been after we were married.
And that's not fair.
How do you think that
just getting rid of the condo was gonna fix it?
It could have took place somewhere else.
And I don't get how you made my friend
of eight years, a big deal.
And then you go, do this.
I felt like my best friend died.
Because you lost my trust. You violated it.
You were just like,
[bleep] me.
I feel like I'm fighting for us more than you fight for us.
[Darion] Knowing that I'm the reason for the pain that she's feeling,
is devastating to me.
Not having a woman at the condo was
something that I was proud to boast about like,
because of her suspicions.
And I can't disprove that,
because of what I have done.
Why did you have sex with her? Period. Me and you were going through, whatever we were
going through.
It was a stress reliever till the next day.
I would hate for you all thinking that this is about
you sleeping with someone else.
No, it's bigger than that.
It's trust. It's... it's companionship.
It's a lot of different factors.
Okay. Mr. Darion, you don't seem to connect
that your actions
have consequences.
Or do anything negatively
to other people,
as long as what you need
is met.
Is that a truthful understanding on my part?
It's a truthful understanding. Yes.
You all been dating since you were, how old?
[exhales]
I was 19 going on 20.
So all you've really known, since 19,
is how things affect him.
And that's problematic to make a marriage on that.
Half people that come together don't make whole nothing.
That ain't good English.
It's the truth.
So, where do you stand in this, Alexia?
I feel like there was progress with this.
We were moving somewhere. We were getting something.
And then boom, sabotage.
Obviously, I'm not the person you wanna be with
for the rest of your life,
if you feel like you had to sleep with someone else.
And because you were selfish enough to do that, I feel like
in this moment, right this moment, I have to worry about myself.
I can't keep worrying about you first and not myself.
Mr. Darion, what are you thinking?
While she finds herself, I still want to be
involved with her.
That's the pattern.
Treadmill's a wonderful machine.
You can run, you can walk, it's not gonna move.
It'll be right there.
I believe you have an amazing opportunity
to understand how powerful you are.
And how not to sabotage what you build.
-Does that make sense? -Yes, ma'am.
It feels like a breakup. I just wanted to hold her,
and... calm her down as much as I could.
Mr. Darion, is there anything you want to say to her?
I haven't been able to talk to her.
You can talk to her now. I'm right here.
Tell her what you want her to know.
I'm sorry.
[sniffles]
I know apologies aren't enough.
They don't, they can't fix it.
But if I knew anything else to do, I would do it.
I'm lonely, I don't, I'm just out there.
I'm ready to come home.
I know this ain't about me.
But I just, I'm sorry. I apologize. I'm sorry.
Mr. Darion,
it's enough for now 'cause you can't fix this in one conversation.
You can just take the first step.
[sighs]
I gotta leave here and not go home with her.
Consequence.
It always works out in my favor.
Mm-hmm.
[clicks tongue] I don't like to lose. I never lose.
This might be one of the first times that you can really actually win.
Everything that appears to be a win is not always a win.
Especially if the setup is for long term loss.
I promise you that's the first time I've ever seen him tear up.
There's so many feelings, you know, 14 years.
It's tough.
I understand why I can't go home.
Her letting me come home right now would be
the same old, same old. The treadmill.
Mm-hmm. What are you committed to do, Mr. Darion?
Working on myself.
This was good work.
-Tough, but good. -[sighs]
Okay?
So I appreciate you all giving me the opportunity to be a part of your journey.
Just because it doesn't feel like a blessing doesn't mean it's not one.
Okay? Yeah.
All right.
[sniffs]
[Alexia] I didn't think that things would end up like this.
Clearly, what he did is not acceptable.
But still there are a lot of good times.
So I'm glad, um,
you know, I went through this process even if it's just to better him.
I love you, Darion.
I will always love you.
-[sniffles] -You did good.
He has some things to figure out within himself,
but do I need to fix this? I know I don't.
You did good, Mr. Darion.
[Darion] I was hoping that me and Lex's relationship
could be fixed through this experience.
But I never thought I'd see this happen like this.
Look at me.
You gotta find yourself
so that you can trust what you build.
And not tear it down.
What I learned about myself during this process is
I ain't found me yet, like, I thought I did.
I'm content, confident in me knowing exactly who I am and what I want.
That can't be so... with this last situation.
[Darion] At the end of this experience, I am embarrassed
that I'm not putting a ring on her finger because
I hurt the feelings of a woman that I love so dearly.
Okay.
I've tried everything to show my heart. Millions of apologies.
But there's nothing I can do.
I did what I did and I'm suffering the consequences.
