On Wednesday’s episode of Call Her Daddy, Lenz explained that he felt like he had “married the wrong person” during the time he became involved with a “cult” for 10 years in the early 2000s.
However, over time, he realized that “they didn’t have much in common.”
“There wasn’t much intellectual stimulation,” he admitted. But I was out of options. For example, I couldn’t date anyone who wasn’t a Christian, and I couldn’t really date anyone outside the group.’
In the end, she said her marriage to QB became “this kind of arranged situation.”
Despite having a “crazy sexual desire,” he recalled that he had booked himself into marriage after being “promised” it would be better; However, he said it was “a lot of nonsense.”
“I thought if I saved myself for marriage, then the promise would be amazing sex and super deep intimacy, and nothing will be as good and it will just be the best thing ever,” she said.
“Then we have sex and we think, ‘Why do I feel so sad? I don’t feel more connected to you. I feel further away from you.”
Lenz recalled: “Because I wasn’t that interested in sex, they asked me to follow a schedule.
‘Basically (they) said, ‘You just have to do it.’ Do it. This is your duty. This is your job as a wife. Your emotions will align. If you do it enough, eventually you will find a way to enjoy it.”

“It was a routine I had to participate in to keep peace in my marriage,” she added.
She said that while filming One Tree Hill in Wilmington, her now-ex was constantly traveling to the Pacific Northwest and expected to have sex every time he returned.
“My stomach flipped every time,” he admitted. “In fact, it really affected my relationships later (with) other boyfriends when I had to pick them up at the airport.”
Lenz added: “I had a lot of PTSD from showing up at the airport to see him knowing that I was going to have to start this sexual program for the next two weeks or three weeks or whatever.”
And although her marriage eventually ended, she said she still feels empathy for her ex.

“The poor guy never had a chance,” he said. ‘He was raised by this narcissist. He was thrust into a marriage that wasn’t right for him. She’s doing the best she can and she’s been fed all these lies about men and machismo, like she grew up on it.
