She’s having a hard time with it all. Ashley Martson from 90 Day Fiancé told her followers during an Instagram Story Q&A session that she still loves her husband, Jay Smith, even after he allegedly cheated, but too much has happened to make the relationship work anymore. Check out our gallery below to see exactly what the reality TV star had to say.
Ashley, 32, has dealt with a lot during her relationship with Jay, 20.

Secret, Secret
In December 2018, 90 Day Fiancé revealed that Jay had a secret Tinder account within a week of his wedding to Ashley. “Someone was FaceTiming Jay at like midnight and I noticed it said ‘Paige’ on the phone,” Ashley said.

Stronger
But the duo came through that drama and seemed like they were on a path to being stronger than ever.

Second Thoughts
While Ashley did file for divorce from Jay in January 2019, she withdrew the paperwork only two weeks later. She must have had second thoughts.

Cheater?
Unfortunately, whatever second chance Ashley may have given Jay was apparently not used wisely. She accused her husband of cheating on her for the second time on April 15, in a series of Instagram Story posts.

Single?
A fan later asked Ashley in a different Instagram Q&A, “Larissa says you’re single. [Is it] true?” Ashley appeared to reveal that it was, writing back, “We must not go against what the Queen says. I don’t want to die today.”
They later “pushed through” a wedding photoshoot they were contractually obligated to do. So awkward.

Dramatic
Ashley later called their split “very dramatic” and “very messed up.” But despite all of that, apparently, Ashley’s feelings for Jay haven’t totally gone away.

Did You Leave?
On May 21, Ashley shared a question a fan asked her on Instagram. “Did you leave/divorce Jay?” they asked. Guess they haven’t kept up on the latest 90 Day drama outside of the TLC show.

Tough Stuff
Honestly, cheating allegations are tough to get through for any couple. We don’t blame Ashley for ultimately deciding it was time to end things with her husband.

See It All
Whether or not these two are split up for good, the whole thing is likely to play out on Instagram, if not also on a future installment of the 90 Day franchise.
