Reflecting on all the chatter that's occurred over the years, Kyle explained that Mauricio would always simply tell her, "We can't care. We know the truth."
"Of course, there's always that little voice in my head, like, 'What if this is true?'" Kyle continued. "People would say these things all the time."
However, "I just didn't want to talk about it," she admitted.
Regardless, the rumors ultimately "chip[ped] away" at her trust for Mauricio, as Andy put it.
Added Kyle, "And they made me feel insecure."
Why did Kyle Richards stop trusting Mauricio Umansky?
Kyle continued to discuss her and Mauricio's martial woes — more specifically, why she stopped trusting him — throughout Part 3 of the reunion.
"With any marriage, there's issues that you have, and they come up and you get busy. You've got kids — my kids were little — I'm working, I'm being a mommy, and doing all that, [so, the issues] get put aside and will come up again," she explained. "Some of the issues never went away. They were never worked on. And then something, like I said in my interview, happened where I did lost my trust."
"Something that he did?" Andy asked, though Kyle didn't directly answer his question when responding.
"You know, I care about my family first," she began. "And I mean, I tried. I really did try."
Then, one day, she "couldn't" do what she had been "putting up with" any longer.
"I finally just hit a breaking point," Kyle said through tears.

What Kyle didn't want, though, is for said breaking point to mark the end of her and Mauricio's marriage. "I really thought it would come back," she admitted of the relationship. "I thought, okay, well this is just a temporary thing. And then it didn't [come back]."
Added Kyle, "Anybody knows I did not want to be in this position."
Regardless, she and Mauricio remain separated.
