Justin Bieber's latest promotional tour has been one of radical honesty, between his documentary series and some wide ranging interviews. Bieber admitted in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music that when he met his wife, Hailey, he wasn't sure that he was ready for the kind of commitment that she was looking for and that he was still dealing with the fallout from his final break up with Selena Gomez.

"I said, ‘Listen, I’m still really hurt and still trying to figure out my way, and I’m not ready to make a commitment to you in a way that … I just don’t want to say something and do the opposite’. I was at the point where I’d done that in the past. And I just was honest with her, I was like, ‘I’m not in a place to be faithful,’ and all this sort of stuff, that I wanted to be – but I just wasn’t there yet."

Bieber continued, opening up about the pain that he felt after that on-again-off-again relationship imploded.

"I think I was just hurt from my previous relationship. I think I still was dealing with a lot of unforgiveness and all that sort of stuff. To be honest, I don’t think I even knew what I was really struggling with at the time. I don’t think I knew I was dealing with unforgiveness. I was just in a place where I knew I didn’t want to tell [Hailey] one thing and … I felt like she respected me at the time and I had a lot of respect for her, and so I just didn’t want to say something and then she’d see me off doing some other thing."

Hailey Bieber doesn't seem to have an issue with Justin sharing so much publicly, and a source told Hollywood Life that she is a major reason that he's gotten his life together.

"Justin can’t believe all the changes he has made in his life and feels so blessed that Hailey came into it when she did. It has made him into a more mature person to where he is able to talk about his past with reason and acceptance."

The source insists that this newfound vulnerability isn't a marketing ploy and that the Biebers really are moving forward into adulthood together.

"It is not being done just to sell music, it is actually the person he is today. And Hailey really loves the person he is and is very proud that he can talk about his mistakes with his exes like Selena because she is getting the best version of him ever. Hailey and Justin aren’t going to focus on Selena specifically and that is why he never really named her but they both hope that she can forgive him after this latest reveal and finally be able to move on."
