Mason and I had such a fun relationship.

Overall, it was just a fun relationship that we had.
I didnt think we had too many similarities.
We just vibed together super well.
I think Meg had found out that I was dating Mason through [another contestant] Vanessa.
I only told Vanessa, and then that got spread around.
I did keep my cards pretty close to my chest, but Meg was very vocal about it.
But I dont see it as a bad thing, at all.
Meg:After Madison and Alex were official, I started finding out more about Madisons connection with Mason.
It hit me like a Mack truck because I was so oblivious to the nature of their connection.
I was already suspicious of him, and then we had that conversation.
I knew that she felt hurt.
I could never enter a marriage knowing I was an option to that person.
On what they would have done differently:
Madison:I cant change anything.
What happened happened, and I do accept that a year later and many therapist appointments later.
Would I handle it differently now?
I could do better.
Beyond that, I have no regrets and trust everything that happened was for a reason.
On finding closure with Mason:
Madison:I never needed an explanation from anyone.
That meant so much to me.
Taylor Haag tellsGlamourwhy she confronted Daniel Hastings after their engagement and reveals her unseen connection to Dave.
The biggest lesson from a situation like this is number one, this isnt normal.
This isnt a normal thing that people just go through on the daily.
There are very few people that can say their worst moments have been televised around the world.
So I think that has taught me this radical self-love.
Meg:Theres not enough words to describe both how wonderful and difficult this journey has been.
I have felt the highest highs and lowest lows through this experience.
Overall, I am very happy with how life has transpired since the show ended.
I have met some of the most incredible humans and have built friendships that will undoubtedly last a lifetime.
