Bristowe, 33, and Booth, 31, who hadmoved in together in Nashville,announced their split exclusively to PEOPLEearlier last month.
“It’s been a really hard few months now,” Bristowe said of the split on an episode of her podcast,Off the Vine With Kaitlyn Bristowe. “I really did think we’d get through it.”
She said the couple hit a “crossroads” in the relationship during a trip to Bristowe’s native Canada.
“With all the hard moments in life come life lessons and that’s what I need to take from all of this,” she explained. “Sometimes you need to take a moment and take a step back to think about what you are fighting for and if it makes sense for your long-term happiness.”

After three years together, Bristowe and Booth made the difficult decision to go their separate ways.
“There were some important fundamental values that weren’t lining up,” she said, adding that there were also “some things we’d probably never see eye-to-eye on. We were left with no choice but to be honest with ourselves and each other.”
