The Real Housewives of Orange County cast and fans alike have had a lot to say about Emily Simpson's marriage to husband Shane Simpson this season — but it wasn't something that Emily expected.
"It was definitely hard for me. It was a lot of stress. It was a lot of emotions. Um, it was difficult psychologically, emotionally, physically," the O.C. attorney told The Daily Dish podcast.
However, it seems one good thing may have come from such a stressful season: Emily's relationship with her husband actually improved!
'Um, but the fact that I can say that my marriage is in a — I just got emotional, sorry," Emily said, choking up a little. "But the fact that I can say that my marriage is in a better place than it ever has been in my whole life, and I think that's because there's a level of self-awareness that would have never been there if it wouldn't have been right there in front of, um, you know, Shane's face or me. And I think the whole world saying like, you have a great wife, like, you're an ass, what are you doing, even though he'd probably never admit it, I think he — I think there was a light bulb that went off in his head that was like, yeah, I have a great wife, I'm an ass, what am I doing? And that's all you can ask for, is for someone to... to recognize it and to remedy it. And that's where we're at."
So all in all, knowing what she knows now, would she have come back for another season if she could do it again? The answer is "yes," Emily ultimately responded.
