"I didn't cry," Darcey said, which may surprise 90 Day Fiance viewers since she's best known in the franchise for being extremely emotional and vulnerable.
"Actually I didn't. I was just like feeling my own sense of worth and power, and I was like, 'You know what? I'm glad I stood up for myself.'"
"I looked back and just knew for myself I did the right thing," she added.
In an episode of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days that aired earlier this month, Darcey from Connecticut and Tom from England met in a New York City restaurant to hash out their issues after spending a lot of time apart with little communication.
Darcey thought she and Tom were going to work on their relationship, but the conversation essentially turned out to be an opportunity for the businessman to dump Darcey in-person.
Darcey therefore stood her ground and informed Tom that she had known for quite some time about his romance with another woman, a blonde named Shannon whom Tom had spent time with in Milan.
"I met someone who loves me the way I wanted to be loved," Tom told Darcey, later adding, "I love you in a different way. I love you like you're my sister... or a friend."

Darcey griped in reply, "You should have told me that before we got in the sack... Move on with your life. I don't want anything to do with you. You are nothing to me right now... I have bigger and better coming."
"I am glad. And try not to ruin the next [relationship]... Did you put weight on?" Tom countered.

"Tom, I've always been very open with and trusting. I've really always had a really good connection with him, and you know, I just wear my heart on my sleeve and I don't want to be treated like a fool or taken advantage of," Darcey explained.
"So on that note, I'm healing right now. Whether we're together or not, you'll have to wait and see."
Darcey went on to tell Tamron, "I just want love in the end, and I deserve that respect mutually... So, you know what? It's been a journey nonetheless and I'm excited to see where my future goes and my life. But I'm staying strong for myself and will never give my power away in any situation, to any person or any man."
When Tamron asked if Darcey still loves Tom, Darcey replied, "I've always had a special feeling for Tom. It's always been a really deep connection; [it's] soulful."

Darcey, however, said she just loves love.
"I don't ever regret anything in life, especially when it comes to love. You learn from your experiences, and my heart is always open," Darcey shared.

On Season 3 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days, Darcey was shown traveling to England to pursue what she believed would be a fairy-tale romance with Tom, and the pair fell in love during her trip.
However, Darcey and Tom's flame quickly fizzled out once Darcey returned to the United States and attempted to make a long-distance relationship with Tom work.
Darcey, who occasionally appears on 90 Day Fiance: Pillow Talk, will be one of over 40 stars from the 90 Day Fiance franchise to star on TLC's new spinoff, 90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined, which premieres Monday, April 20.
Darcey revealed she's been self-isolating with her two daughters, twin sister Stacey Silva, and her father, who recently flew in from China.
"We're all here isolated [in Connecticut], staying safe and strong. I will stay strong and empowered for myself... I'll always keep my eye on the prize," Darcey noted.
After Tom and Darcey split, Darcey stayed in a New York City hotel so she could compose herself before returning home. Darcey wanted to put on a good face and set a solid example for her kids.
Darcey said she also blocked Tom's phone number and social media accounts from contacting her, but Tom told the cameras he felt sorry for the way he had treated Darcey and it would be "a real shame" for their relationship to end so badly.
In the preview for the upcoming April 26 broadcast of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days, Tom tells the cameras, "I'm heading to Connecticut this morning. I'm still in love with Darcey, and she needs to hear what I want to say to her. I don't know what is going to happen."
