Jenelle Evans is back with David Eason and now she is speaking out about why she reached out to him first following their brief split.
Speaking to InTouch Weekly , Jenelle opened up about what caused her to leave her husband in the first place.
“I was very unhappy. We didn’t get along and we were always mean/angry towards each other. We called each other names and never wanted to spend time together,” the former Teen Mom 2 star explained.
In October 2019, Jenelle took to Instagram to announce she had left David. Eventually, it was revealed that she had taken two of her kids and fled to Nashville, Tennessee, where she lived in an apartment. She even took out a restraining order against her husband, but earlier this year, the order was dropped.
Jenelle admitted that she reached out to David first in regard to reconciliation, explaining to him what he would need to do so they could rectify things. The two talked about the things that had gone wrong and figured out how to prevent arguments from happening. Now, they focus on not raising their voices, as well as not calling one another names or using cuss words.
As to why she decided to reach out to David first, Jenelle revealed that the two had “invested so much into the relationship.”
“David was there for me through everything that happened, good or bad, and was my best friend. I just couldn’t imagine my life without him. I felt like I gave up on him, but he never gave up on me.”
Although they separated, they had never officially filed for divorce. Jenelle explained that is because, in order to do so in North Carolina, the individuals need to be separated for one year.
Because the split didn’t last too long, many fans speculated that what happened was bogus — an effort for Jenelle to get back on the hit MTV series. However, the former reality star insists that the breakup was real and “not faked at all.”
During her time apart from David, it didn’t appear that the network had any plans to bring Jenelle back to the show.
Jenelle has been busy making YouTube videos to keep her fans updated while she waits for her contract with MTV to expire.
“I am glad I took some time away from home to clear my head to know what I truly wanted,” she concluded about the split.
