Shortly after, Joe took to his social media, calling that scene “My AHA moment.” Joe recalled that at that moment, he knew their marriage was officially over. The businessman posted a clip of the scene to his Instagram with the caption, “My wife has never said no to sleeping with me. I had to walk away. I don’t have resentment against her (her emotions are justified). It was off guard should have been private.”
