Amanda Trenfield went viral on social media recently following news that she dumped her husband of 14 years for her ‘soulmate’ after she felt an ‘electric’ chemistry with him.
However, when she expressed her feelings to the man, named Jason, she was taken aback when he rejected her advances, leaving her single.
Amanda has now opened up on her decision in an interview with Moa Freedman on the ‘No Filter’ Podcast, where she narrated how it all happened.
According to her, she met Jason while she was on vacation with her husband to reignite their marriage. She and her husband had a chat with Jason over dinner, and then he invited them for a drink later on.
She 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.”
“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.”
The following day, Amanda approached Jason and expressed her feelings for him, and they shared a quick kiss.
“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,” she said.
Speaking on his rejection, Amanda said she has no regrets even though her life has changed completely.
She has now written a memoir about the experience titled, “When A Soulmate Says No”.
