Trista Sutter has assured her fans that she is OK, despite some concerning Instagram posts from her husband. "I miss her already," "I really wish I could talk to you," and "I want to be there for you. But I can’t," her husband, Ryan Sutter, wrote in a series of Instagram posts, leading people to wonder if something had happened to The Bachelorette star.
But she says she has a "stoic" husband who "usually chooses privacy over posting." This time, though, he "decided to share his love for me in messages that would find me in my travels," Trista explained on Instagram.
Ryan also shared an update, writing that he "strayed from the safety of the usual dog theme and chose to post a message to my wife for a time when she could eventually read it." In her post, Trista noted that they use Instagram as if it's a "digital diary," and most of the time, they don't run into any issues. In this case, though, "just about every news outlet picked up his 'cryptic/confusing/attention-seeking/dramatic' pictures and captions," Trista noted.
Ryan explained that Trista "understood the context and so did I. No one else did however, and that’s where things went sideways. It was suggested that Trista had died, we were in trouble or that it must be a mid life crisis among many other creative ideas."
But Trista is fine. "Geez people. Can’t a girl have a nervous breakdown/trial separation/midlife crisis/death/divorce in peace around here?! " she joked. "In all seriousness, for those concerned, I’m safe and sound, happy and healthy, in love and grateful."
She also noted that although her husband's posts attracted a lot of attention and led to rumors (and genuine concern), "they gave me exactly what my Words of Affirmation love language needed to get me through some serious self doubt and fear…and that’s all that matters."

She explained where she was in more detail: "An opportunity for perspective and personal growth presented itself and with the unconditional support of my family and friends, I chose myself and betterment, knowing that my stay-at-home-mom job and my kids end-of-the-school-year needs were in the best, most capable hands."
Ryan also posted a "welcome back" post on Instagram for his wife, writing, "They say absence makes the heart grow fonder…. We found out it’s true. It also makes the heart more grateful, more sympathetic, more appreciative for what someone does for you, with you, alongside of you."
