A woman who went viral online after sharing the shocking tale of how she ended her marriage of 14-years for a man she met in a bar has spoken out about her decision. Amanda Trenfield says she felt "electric" chemistry with the man, called Jason, so she ended her marriage and sought him out, even though she hadn't spoken to him since.
When Amanda finally approached the man she thought she could build a happy future with, she was shocked when he spurned her advances and soon found herself single. Now she's spoken out about her decision on a podcast and says she doesn't regret a thing, even though her life has completely changed.
What do you think about Amanda's decision? Let us know in the comments...
Speaking to Mia Freedman on the No Filter podcast, Amanda explained how the whirlwind romance began when she was on a work trip with her husband, when she was trying to reconnect with him.
She said the pair met Jason and chatted to him over dinner, before he offered them both a drink later on.
Amanda said: "It happened to be my favourite rose. And during the course of that evening, we just stayed talking - there was a depth of connection I just hadn't felt before."
The next day, Amanda then approached Jason and discussed her feelings for him - and they shared a quick kiss together.
She said: "I opened the conversation with, 'I felt strange and very connected to you last night', and he said he felt the same way.
"He was there in those moments and felt the connection like I did. He felt the kiss like I did. But he decided to say no and move forward with his life without looking back."
Previously Amanda, a life coach, spoke to The Sydney Morning Herald and recalled how the energy between her and Jason was "somehow charged" and that she knew that this was more than just lust or physical attraction.
She said: "We enjoyed a body-hugging embrace where I whispered into his ear, 'This isn't over, I need to see you again.' He put his hands tightly on my waist and pulled me close. 'Yes,' he replied. It was all I needed to hear.
"I had never felt anything like this before.
"I now know without hesitation, without question, without any doubt in my mind, my body or my heart, that the energy we experienced that evening was our souls connecting."
Eagle-eyed readers noticed that the extract was taken from Trenfield's new memoir - When A Soulmate Says No.
The title of the book had people gobsmacked as they realised that she had left her husband, only to be rejected by her supposed soulmate.
Thousands of people on Twitter shared their thoughts, with many admitting this is the kind of story they would have taken to their grave. Others were keen to know more about Jason and his account of that meeting.
One person posted: "Girl they couldn't have tortured this out of me at Guantanamo."
Another said: "Plot twist: Jason has an entirely different version of this evening."
"This is simultaneously the worst and greatest thing I ever read," proclaimed a third.
