Trigger Warnings: miscarriage, suicidal ideation, eating disorders (OCD, anorexia), animal cruelty, religious trauma, infidelity, emotional abuse
Join us on this week’s episode of The Dating Detectives as we sit down with Cassie, whose “perfect” Utah marriage unravels into a year-long nightmare of betrayal, manipulation, and mental‐health crises. You’ll hear how a childhood shaped by poverty and strict religious culture set the stage for a whirlwind teenage engagement, a devastating miscarriage, and months of emotional abandonment. When her husband leans on Cassie’s best friend, Cassie uncovers a web of online deception, secret affairs, and shocking cruelty that forces her to choose between self-preservation and the life she thought she wanted.
