In fact, they didn&#8217;t speak to each other for a few years. Bristowe argued she was &#8220;totally trying to protect&#8221; her relationship with Booth. She&nbsp;also said she felt &#8220;shame&#8221; around Viall for &#8220;how badly I had hurt Shawn through our relationship.&#8221; While Bristowe didn&#8217;t go into specifics she seemed to indicate that Booth was hurt that&nbsp;she and Viall&nbsp;had been intimate on the show. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think I was made to feel shame but deep down I knew I wasn&#8217;t ashamed,&#8221; she said. &nbsp;&#8220;But that&#8217;s why I acted the way I did, or that&#8217;s why we didn&#8217;t talk or that&#8217;s why I made little jabs here and there because I know he had been so hurt by it and I hated that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"video-int-txt-3\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"41.105113636364\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-video-text\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"23.488636363636\">\n<p>Bristowe and Booth&nbsp;were together for more than&nbsp;three years.

I&#8217;m confident in myself, but I really lost confidence in myself in that relationship,&#8221; Bristowe said looking back at their time together.&#8221;I think the balance wasn&#8217;t there, where I was too much wanting to please him and make him happy.
