shares that she fell in love with security, safety, and tradition.
She also valued what people thought too much instead than focusing on her happiness.
"I was also terrified of failing, of what others would think, and of how it would affect everyone around me. This caused me to stay in an unhealthy relationship much longer than was needed."
Now, she has been happily married to Riley for a decade, and she made sure to share with fans some reasons why it's okay to "do-over."
According to Terri, "with experience and maturity comes wisdom and appreciation." After experiencing her first marriage, she is much more comfortable in her skin.
She now knows what she wants and doesn't want, and she is no longer a "people pleaser." She also made sure to know her faults and shortcomings to avoid major confrontations with her partner.
"Most importantly, this time around God allowed me the courage to choose a more compatible mate. The foundation of this self-growth is a stronger faith and a stronger appreciation for all that God has allowed me to do both personally and professionally."
Aside from Lola, Terri has two sons: Kal'El Joseph Riley and Daylen Ali Carolina.
