Despite Joe's pleas for forgiveness, Shelly ultimately decided to end the relationship and leave Joe for his cheating ways.

On the the couple's third appearance, Joe was desperately determined to get Shelly back. Joe sat on his in front of a screen crying and pleading for Shelly to take him back.

During their sixth appearance, The tables have turned. This time, Shelly reveals a secret she's been keeping from Joe.

When Joe is re-introduced, he claims he is a changed man and hasn't been cheating since the last appearance. Shelly reveals her secrets on tape, and Joe is sent into a fit of sadness, even dropping to the floor and crying. As the segment comes to an end, Maury makes sure the couple is ready to get help for their problems, and both of them commit with Joe promising to never cheat again and call a truce.
