Note: Ai Ai Delas Alas hugs son Sancho after her emotional "The Buzz" interview
It was a year-long relationship that culminated in marriage, that eventually broke apart after a month.
Such is the fate of Aiai dela Alas' romance with a Jed Salang whom she married in Las Vegas last April 3.
Early on in the relationship, Jed has been an abusive boyfriend to Aiai, but she chose to turn a blind eye to all of his abuses and pretended that everything was okay. She was in complete denial thinking he would eventually change, she admitted to being desperate to make it work. Aiai dreamed of a fairytale life in the arms of a man she thought she would grow old with.
On her tv interview at The Buzz earlier, Aiai tearfully revealed that she hid all the negative aspects of her relationship with Jed and focused only on what was nice and beautiful. She reinforced this by posting happy pictures of them together on her social media site instagram.
Ironically, that beautiful dream began to crumble right after the wedding. The guy changed a lot, started abusing her more.
On that fateful day, Aiai had just given him his dream car. But Jed wanted more, he wanted that they spent their "monthsary" in a casino for 3 days which Aiai vehemently objected to. Not long after, they were fighting and Jed was already physically hitting her. It seemed to be the last straw after a series of abuses that Aiai decided to finally end everything.
Prior to that, there had been several confirmations from people who told Aiai about Jed's real motives of marrying her. Allegedly after he would have gotten what he wanted from her, Jed would eventually leave her and go back to live with his ex.
Aiai thanked God endlessly for sparing her from further damage by opening her eyes and revealing everything to her. She thanked her children for always loving and understanding her.
Everyone may have an opinion about this. But for all it's worth, there is a major lesson to be learned - that anything done in haste is a recipe for disaster.
