"That was really positive. We were fortunate. It could’ve gone the other way. I think for a lot of people, it does,” she continued.

According to Meredith, being on the show helped her in her marriage to Seth because it allowed her to see herself from an outside point of view.

“I find a lot of times I can be a little bit curt and I found things get misunderstood and misinterpreted,” she said. “This is more that I may be snappy at times, but it makes you fully analyze how you interact with people, so that for us was actually, believe it or not, a huge healing process because we had no communication."

While Meredith and Seth share their children, Reid, Chloe and Brooks, the couple kept their marriage drama away from their family and didn't allow them to know they had taken a break from their marriage.

"We had been separated on and off for a really long time, hiding it from our children, hiding it from everyone except each other because our children didn’t know and that put us in a corner where we just didn’t address anything, so we had no communication basically other than transactional stuff like college tuitions due, whatever, nonsense,” Meredith recalled.
