The icon also shared the fact that they went for couples therapy. Calling it his ‘biggest mistake,’ Arnold unveiled his disappointment. 

Because the guy was so full of sh*t. He said more crap and more nonsense,” said the actor and bodybuilder. “It was absolutely totally counterproductive to our future relationship, or to any hope to get together or anything like that. It was just nonsense talk.

The 75-year-old also revealed that it was initially Maria’s idea to try couples therapy. Although his intuition didn’t support it, Arnold chose to follow his then-wife’s suggestion. 

All in all, things turned out to be against his will and led to a setback. The former governor of California deeply regrets breaking Maria’s trust back then. Nonetheless, he finally spoke up and accepted his fault in front of the entire world.
