Some wounds cut so deep that you can never fully recover. For Brittany Cartwright, that seems to be the case when it comes to Jax Taylor’s past affairs. During the latest episode of The Valley, she admitted that her husband’s infidelity is “always in the back” of her mind.
Jax’s past is hard to forget
During Episode 7 of The Valley, Brittany and Jax opened up about their dwindling sex life. She revealed they had only had sex a couple of times in the last year, and they were having a hard time getting their groove back. Jax took them to an intimacy coach in hopes of improving the situation. Instead, it seemed to just unearth old wounds. Although Brittany said she didn’t have any current concerns about Jax cheating on her in the present, his past affair with Faith Stowers still lives in her head.
“We had it in the past, but we worked through it. Before we were married,” Brittany said. “I know with Jax there is always going to be rumors out there.”
She continued, “I definitely don’t think that Jax is cheating, but of course, it is always in the back of my mind. If he’s not cheating then why do we have so much intimacy issues?”
Throughout the session, Jax, Brittany, and their intimacy coach uncovered other issues that have impacted their relationship, aside from the cheating anxiety. Brittany said that constantly being in “mommy mode” made it hard to feel sexy. She also felt scared that her post-baby body was no longer appealing to Jax.
She admitted, “Sometimes I wonder if Jax isn’t attracted to my body after having a baby. Because it has changed so much. I have a lot of stretch marks and loose skin. That can be really hard to deal with sometimes.”
In the present day, Jax and Brittany didn’t overcome those intimacy issues. It was too much to resolve in one session with an intimacy coach. They confirmed their separation just days before The Valley premiered. The two are on speaking terms and putting on a friendly front for their kid, but there’s still a lot that these two need to work out.
New episodes of The Valley air on Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
