Olivia noted that her time away from Ethan and their former apartment in Minnesota has given her clarity. \u201cNow being on my own and feeling like my life is so much more peaceful, it makes me realize how chaotic and dysfunctional that was. And I don\u2019t miss that,\u201d Olivia continued. \u201cMaybe someday I\u2019ll separate it all in my mind. But for right now he\u2019s part of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
She claimed: \u201cThat was an entire, just, like, my whole world didn\u2019t feel safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Olivia and Ethan were married five years before parting ways. In the season 6 premiere<\/a>, which aired earlier this month, fans learned that it had been nine months since they broke up.
