When asked by a fan if it was a mutual decision, he replied, \u201cAt first it was not. Beth was the first one to leave. The fighting had got really bad, I\u2019m not gonna lie. I said a lot of things I really should not have said.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI said them out of anger and frustration,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut I also haven\u2019t felt like I\u2019ve had any reciprocation back of like, how to fix this or move forward. She\u2019s been gone for four weeks, and I think at this point, it\u2019s better for me to focus on myself and trying to become a better person.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>MAFS<\/span><\/i><\/a> season 9 star\u2019s social media posts clearly surprised fans as the North Carolina couple recently celebrated four years of marriage together on March 23.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHappy 4 years babe! It\u2019s hard to believe we did something so crazy that changed our lives forever a whole 4 years ago,\u201d Elizabeth shared via Instagram, along with shots from the wedding as strangers. \u201cI sometimes forget we met on a TV show because life seems so right with you in it!
