Secrets kill.
And I said, Mia, please just get it all out there.
Let's finish it and move on with our lives.
MAN: Right. - I don't want to keep living--
Is that where you are right now?
[music playing]
TRISTAN: Mia gave me the entire story.
She said that she'd been on a heightened state of paranoia
since the arrest, and she was scared.
She had told me that she was falling in love with me.
I told her, I do love you, I wouldn't be here if I didn't.
I had an out, but I didn't take it.
I didn't want it, because I do love you.
I want to put this behind us.
I want to move forward.
I am committed to being married to her.
Mhm.
I want to be married to her.
MAN: Even still?
Still.
But that's-- I told her I can deal with anything
you've done in your past, but I can't deal
with you lying to me.
Do you feel she's put it all out there?
TRISTAN: I hope she has.
Help me understand what has happened.
MIA: So I was with my ex.
When we broke up, I rebounded with someone else.
And I didn't want to talk about it.
And so I think that's why I just went
into that protective, in-denial mode, which was wrong of me.
I shouldn't have done that.
[music playing]
I don't have contact with that person.
I don't care to associate myself with that person at all.
But I'm really hoping it hasn't ruined the chance for happiness
with Tristan in the future.
It's kind of like only time will be able to mend
a lot of what's happened.
WOMAN: Time and being consistent--
MIA: Yeah. - --and transparent.
And honest. WOMAN: We will also--
and honest.
And we will help you both, as well.
I mean, part of us all coming here today
is to figure out what was going on,
and to try to help the two of you as a couple.
MIA: I just feel bad for Tristan.
He's my rock.
I've been more physical than I ever would
in any other relationship ever.
WOMAN: So that means something.
And has there been any sort of sexual intimacy?
Yes.
This definitely made Tristan and I closer together 1000%,
because I would have never seen these sides of him
unless this happened.
He is reassuring.
He's being loving.
He's-- I mean, he's being everything.
It makes me really happy and lucky to be matched with him.
I want to tell you how much I appreciate your honesty today,
and that you were able to, despite the embarrassment
and the shame that you're feeling,
and that you were able to talk about it.
And I know that this was really hard,
and you did not let me down.
[music playing]
I've seen her cry every day.
Wow.
TRISTAN: Every day.
Wow.
And so I don't want to see her cry anymore.
[music playing]
MAN: You really care about her, don't you?
I do.
Nobody could hate Mia.
You know, I said, I dislike you a little bit right now, but.
Yeah. And it's gonna take some time.
Yeah, but there's a lot of love there.
I made a decision that, when it came to marriage, that I wanted
to make it work, that I didn't want to look at this
as an eight-week experiment, that I wanted
to fall in love with someone and to build a future
and leave a legacy.
I've forgiven her.
I don't hold any ill will towards her
with that, because that affects our future.
So now, I feel like, if we can really trust in each other
and really develop that, then we can really
fall in love with each other.
And that would be special.
[music playing]
WOMAN: I do not want you mired in the past,
but I also don't want any surprises for Tristan, even
if they're difficult. You've got to make sure
that Tristan knows everything.
MIA: I do apologize for not being
100% clean and open with you.
I am really sorry about that, Tristan.
I don't mean to do that to you.
WOMAN: Mia, are you committed to Tristan as your husband,
and do you want to go forward with this marriage?
Yes, I do.
Tristan, are you committed to Mia as your wife,
and do you want to go forward with this marriage?
Yes.
Heck yes.
Well, I can't even tell you how that makes us all feel.
Love it. Love it.
Love it.
WOMAN: I'm so happy that you've reached out to each other
and given a new beginning from a very challenging start.
Thank you guys for the advice.
Well, you guys are awesome.
You did the work.
I did the time.
Just kidding.
[laughing]
And the first joke has just happened.
Yes!
WOMAN: The first joke.
MAN: The first joke.
You win.
[laughter]
