The show host asked both Jessi and Jordan to share their thoughts on the situation. They talked about how things unfolded, them going through therapy, and more. When the host asked Jessi to share more about the emotional affair, she responded that it could have been anyone. Jessi revealed:

"I always say it honestly could have been anyone. At home, I was just feeling not seeing, not appreciated, not loved. I couldn't do anything right. Just to have someone, who, like, I thought was cool or funnier, just like, didn't see those negative things. It was like someone getting me attention in a pisitive way or not putting me down all the time."

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3 Reunion: Jessi opens up about her "emotional affair" with Marciano, while Jordan talks about therapy, and more

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3 Reunion saw Jessi getting emotional while reflecting on her emotional affair with Marciano. It happened after the host asked her about what she gained emotionally through that situation. The host asked:

"So, Jessi, you had an emotional affair with Marciano. What did he provide for you emotionally?"

In response, Jessi noted that instead of Marciano, it could have been anyone. It was because it happened after she felt not seen and not appreciated at home. She also talked about not being loved.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives host asked Jessi whether she regretted the cheating. Jessi shared:

"Yeah. I wish I would have just left Jordan at that time instead of cheating. I truly was like, if I do something like this, like, that would get me out. It was almost like, "Well, he hasn't hit me. He hasn't done anything like that." So like, it was really hard to like, justify leaving."

Jessi added that emotional abuse and toxicity drained her. It also made her a person she wasn't proud of. The host turned to Mayci and told her she had a lot of opinions on the situation. Mayci replied:

"Yeah, no. It's hard. I've...obviously, someone who's been through an abusive relationship, and I know that's not the same as mine. But I think that, for me, I like Jordan's finally owning things. But I was also like, as long as there's action behind words."

Further in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion, Jessi noted that she and Jordan had been going through therapy. Since then, she noted many changes in Jordan as well. She noted that healing wasn't an overnight process. They also faced some setbacks while going through such situations. Jessi added:

"But overall, I do feel like he's taken what I've said and taken a lot of it. I just need time to see if it's gonna feel genuine. So..."

The host asked Jordan how he felt about it. He responded that he had to make changes. They were not for Jessi, but for himself. He was proud of all the changes he had made. He also hoped that those changes would be enough to save his family. Further, the show host talked about the night when Layla broke the news of Jessi's affair.
