What Are the Challenges Associated With Establishing Public Relationships?

Being public meant that their breakup would be visible for public scrutiny – Courtney found it therapeutic to remove Jarrod from social media in order to provide closure on this chapter together; she planned on covering their separation on her podcast as an honest reflection.
What led Courtney to assert her allegations of infidelity?
Courtney and Jarrod’s marriage began to fray following the birth of their daughter Kennedy Grace on August 23, 2019.

These claims became public while she processed its impact and dealt with its negative ramifications on her mental health.
What Are Their Key Marriage Decisions?
Courtney reached her breaking point when she confronted Jarrod about suspected infidelity just when they were visiting potential plots for their dream house, representing their future together. At that moment in time she realized she couldn’t live with all the suspicion and uncertainty anymore and made the heart-wrenching decision that it would be best for both herself and their daughter to part ways – not only signifying an end of marriage but also the end of all future plans together. This decision marked not only an irreparable wound in their relationship, but it represented both ends: marriage itself but also future plans together being erased forever.
How Did Courtney Deal with Post-Natal Depression and Isolation?
Courtney was suffering from postnatal depression due to her isolation and physical challenges following Kennedy’s premature birth, caring for him mostly alone for six months after which time. Without his presence due to professional commitments – regardless of efforts made at maintaining marriage by communicating struggles – her challenges became all the more daunting.
