Some might wonder why Tori wouldn't want to know the truth despite her fear. She claims the reason is because she felt like knowing the answer would only make things worse at that point.
"If he says that there weren't any other women, I don't know if right now I can believe him and trust that that's true," she explained. "If he says there's others, I feel like that makes my decision for me. I have to leave, and my heart wants to try to work this out."
Tori then went on to explain the importance of protecting herself. She believes not asking despite knowing everyone was wondering protected herself.
"I feel like I've come so far, but that was my one way of protecting myself was to not ask the obvious question. I mean everyone else is thinking it, and I'm thinking it too," she added.
