Shannon and David Beador finally got the closure they needed on Season 10, episode 2 of "The Real Housewives of Orange County." The pair packed up and headed to a marriage retreat where they worked on issues stemming from David's infidelity. After a few days of hard work and many tears shed, Shannon and David finally had a breakthrough.

Upon heading home the Beadors continued to put in work on their marriage. The first step was making things right with their three young children. David sat down with his daughters and apologized to them one-by-one for his extramarital affair. As was revealed during their therapy session, one of David's daughters saw text messages exchanged between him and his mistress.

As was revealed in the Season 10 premiere, Shannon became suspicious about her husband's cheating when she caught him whispering to someone on the phone. He assured her it was nothing and they moved on. It wasn't until David brought his daughters to school one day, leaving behind his briefcase, that Shannon decided to do some investigating. She opened the case to find hotel reciepts which confirmed what she had believed all along. David finally admitted to being unfaithful, but both refused to give up on their relationship.

Shannon and David had struggled with their marriage since Season 9, when they were introduced onto the show. The housewife spent a majority of the season trying to get her marriage on track. Unfortunately, rumors spread by ladies within the group, specifically Tamra Judge and Heather Dubrow, causes extra strain on the already troubled couple. David eventually moved out of their home, later sending an email suggesting it may be time to throw in the towel on their relationship.

Shannon, as well as several other members of the cast, were live tweeting the latest, gutwrenching episode of "RHOC," which aired Monday night. Shannon shared with her followers her deep sadness for her children's knowledge of David's cheating.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
