Dean McDermott cheating scandal; have caused quite a strain on his marriage with Tori Spelling and it seems that what doesn't break you does make you stronger!

McDermott cheated his wife last year with a Canadian fan, Emily Goodhand. The couple has been working on their marriage since the scandal broke late last year.

The reality star admitted on a recent interview on E! News that he brought the pain on himself. "Things are great," Dean said. "Our relationship is stronger than it's ever been and we're working very hard on that. I'm working very hard on myself-my sobriety, it means everything to me, becoming the dad and the husband that I've always wanted to be and that they deserve...I'm changing my life for the good."

After eight years together, Dean's infidelity almost tore his family apart. Fortunaely, he said that Tori was able to move past what happened and keep in mind that his mistakes do not define who he is, that "he is a good dad, he is a great husband, but this moment doesn't define him-so it's time for me to change and deal with my demons and become a better person, and be more present."

"I wake up every morning and I'm just so blessed that she's in my life still," Dean told Giuliana. "She's such a strong lady, and when this happened I was like, 'Why don't you just leave me?'"

"And she's like, 'Well, I love you, I can't just turn that off,'" Dean recalled. "'I'm mad at you, I'm really upset, I'm really hurt-but I love you. That just doesn't go away.' We're trying to show people," he added, "that if that love is still there, love can conquer all and love does conquer all. It's just going to take a lot of work and a lot of tears and a lot of pain."
