By now I’m sure you know the story – Justin and Selena dated on-again-off-again for YEARS, leading right up to Justin’s relationship / marriage with Hailey.  Justin, who openly explained to Zane, he didn’t want to pursue Hailey at first because he knew he had issues to fix, “I’d let her know prior to the tour when we were hanging a lot. I said, ‘Listen, I’m still really hurt and still trying to figure out my way, and I’m not ready to make a commitment to you in a way that… I just don’t want to say something and do the opposite.’  Because I was at the point where I’d done that in the past. And I just was honest with her, I was like, ‘I’m not in a place to be faithful,’ and all this sort of stuff, that I wanted to be, but I just wasn’t there yet.”

When Zane asked, “What was hurting you at the time?” Justin responded,  “I think I was just hurt from my previous relationship.”  You and I both know he’s referring to Selena Gomez.  Justin continues:

“I think I still was dealing with a lot of unforgiveness and all that sort of stuff. To be honest, I don’t think I even knew what I was really struggling with at the time.  I don’t think I knew I was dealing with unforgiveness. I was just in a place where I knew I didn’t want to tell [Hailey] one thing and… I felt like she respected me at the time and I had a lot of respect for her, and so I just didn’t want to say something and then she’d see me off doing some other thing.  But either way, she loved me and seeing me with other people hurt her.  And so with that being said, she went out and did things that hurt me. And so just this hurt, I’ve hurt her, she hurt me. And then before tour we just really stopped talking, I was really upset.  Before that, in my previous relationship, I went off and just went crazy and went wild, just was being reckless.  This time I took the time to really build myself and focus on me, and try to make the right decisions and all that sort of stuff. And yeah, I got better.”

Justin confessed Hailey had a hard time when they weren’t together, “You’d hear like, ‘Oh, he’s doing so well,’ and she would be so pissed off because she’s like, ‘He’s not doing well without me.”  Throughout the interview, Hailey, who was hanging out on the side, yelled back at Justin, ”You want to think you’re happy for someone, it sucks to hear that they’re happy without you.”
