Ben and Athena fall right into a relationship, as suspected, but unfortunately, Athena is not prepared for what will happen only a few months in. Will Ben be able to talk his way out of what he did to Athena and win her back, or is this where she says goodbye for good?
Please Note: When launching this podcast, we used a faux name, 'Ben', for our ex-husband. Since then, we've revealed his real name 'Brandon Johnson' to protect other victims.
