Anna Duggar, the faithful wife of "19 Kids and Counting" star Josh Duggar, shared during the TLC documentary "Jill and Jessa: Counting On" the heartbreak she felt when she discovered that the father of her four children had been unfaithful to her following the revelations made in the aftermath of the Ashley Madison hacking scandal.

In fact, Anna considered the betrayal so physically painful that she compared it to the labour pains, according to Fox News.

"At one point, I was like, 'I feel like I've been in labor for like days.' It's like when you're in labor, you just make it through the next contraction and go on and I think there's been a lot of that lately, of just taking the next step and going on," she said.

Josh spent the holidays in the rehab facility Reformers Unanimous while Anna and her kids spent Christmas with their in-laws. Anna even visited Ben and Jessa Seewald's home, which used to be her and Josh's old home. The visit brought back so many memories for Anna.

"It's special being here because the house is so different, and it's definitely Jessa and Ben's house, but there are a lot of fond memories of starting out here," she shared. "It's kind of a tender spot to go back and be in what was our starter home. There are a lot of sweet memories running through my mind. It was good to be back and remember and I guess have some time to look back."

Many people have actually urged Anna to divorce Josh after everything he did to her, but Anna remains committed to fixing her marriage with Josh. She said she took her marriage vows seriously and she will do whatever she can to keep their family intact. "We'll see what God has in store for the future," she said.
