Bristol Palin and now ex-husband Dakota Meyer are opening up about their divorce.
As you know, news of the Teen Mom OG couple’s split was made public after Palin called herself “freshly divorced & single” on Instagram.
But a new clip from this season, shot before the divorce was finalized, gives us more insight on why things turned ‘cold’ for these two.

In the emotional clip, Bristol tells Dakota, “we’re both unhappy.”
She continues:
“I was a single mom for a long time, but being married, I’m more lonely now than I’ve ever been. And I know that he’s probably more lonely now than he’s ever been. I think that we don’t know how to coexist together at all.”
The 27-year-old admits that although Meyer’s PTSD and anxiety from serving in Afghanistan have put a strain on their relationship, she isn’t without blame:
“I fully take responsibility of becoming cold. And I am sorry. I’m sorry that I’m that way.
I don’t think that you deserve to have a wife that’s that way, and I want you to have a sense of peace. But I think a divorce is the best thing for our kids. … I do feel like we are better people when we’re not together.”
Meyer tells the his ex-wife and the camera:
“Obviously Bristol doesn’t want to be together anymore, and for me I guess I just get that same feeling that I do with my teammates is that I’ve failed again and I’m helpless again. And that’s the hard part of it is because I know where my heart is for her. I know that I love her and I know that I give her my everything.”
The couple share two daughters together: Sailor, 2 and Atlee, 16 months, who no doubt will be affected by the split.
