Cary Deuber Considered Leaving 'RHOD' After Last Season's Drama

AOL.com:

Three seasons into "Real Housewives of Dallas," and Carey Deuber is still learning to navigate the best way to showcase her multi-faceted life on reality television.

The licensed nurse went into the current third season of the franchise after dodging allegations last year about her husband's sexuality and the origins of their marriage, so, as she put it, there was nowhere to go for her but up.

With a new laser center and a home renovation on the horizon, too, Deuber has a lot in the cards this season, which she promises will result in some major changes that even she didn't see coming. 

Cary Deuber recently sat down with AOL to talk about the third season of "Real Housewives of Dallas," what it's like being the most liberal cast member on the show and how she and LeeAnne were able to see past their differences this year.

Congratulations on this third season! With multiple "to be continued" episodes already, it's clearly been a great season so far. What's the reaction been from what you've seen?
It’s been really positive. Last year was a great one, and coming off of that it’s going to be even better this year. From a personal standpoint for me, it’s better because it couldn’t have gotten worse. It’s been a much more even-keel year for me.

You and your husband, Mark, fought off a ton of allegations last year that kind of took things to another level for you guys. After going through something like that, do you step back and consider not coming back to the show?
Hell yeah! My husband and I are like, “We don’t need this, this isn’t something that we need to do.” We did it for something fun and something to help our business. We wanted to try it. It’s not every day that Bravo calls you and asks if you want to be on a show, and I decided that it’s worth the risk. With every risk, there’s always a downside. My husband and I went through that and came out stronger on the other side, but it was definitely a struggle. We had a few discussions and a lot of tough, dark days. Our kids did, too. I think some people don’t think about that impact on your family and the impact it has on your people. My step-kids are adults, so they got it and it was a struggle for them.
