On Saturday, September 19, Ashley Martson had an announcement.
She and Jay Smith are over after more than three years of marriage.
This time ... unlike their last three breakups ... it's over for good, she says.
Curiously, the 90 Day Fiance alum seems to blame herself, and not her husband.
When couples break up and one of them is a serial cheater ... it's usually the fault of the serial cheater.
Ashley is now apologizing to her loved ones.
No matter how you felt about this couple, this is a heartbreaking read.
1. It's over!
On Saturday, September 19, Ashley Martson took to Instagram to share a painful-to-write but important message.
2. Just last month ...
Ashley and Jay were celebrating their anniversary after a "wild" three years. That's ... certainly one way of phrasing it.
3. Just weeks ago, she was clapping back at doubters
Anyone trying to give Ashley a hard time about the number of times that Jay cheated on her (once after their wedding, once in a barbershop bathroom, once with an ongoing mistress, once with a girl who claimed to be pregnant by him ... and those are just the ones that we know about) got an earful.
4. They had just opened a business together
The idea that Jay would once again be spending hours on the skin of beautiful young women -- a perk of the tattoo trade that he had not hesitated to brag about while in Jamaica -- was not lost on fans. Now, Ashley and Jay's followers are left to wonder how their joint business ventures will be divided up after their new, latest, and possibly final split.
5. Ashley posted this graphic
"Sometimes things just don't work out," the image reads, "and it's not anyone's fault. It's just the way things are." That is true! Though, as you are about to read, Ashley seems to blame herself for an alleged lack of "strength."
6. She has big news
It is in the captions of this Instagram post that Ashley shares her news: "Before the stories get all misconstrued, I will just address it myself."
