Kelley Flanagan recently opened up on where her relationship with former "Bachelor" star Peter Weber went wrong.

During an episode of the "Off the Vine" podcast, released Tuesday, the 29-year-old attorney told host Kaitlyn Bristowe, "There were just a lot of non-negotiables in the relationship."

She added, "Actions ... speak louder than words."

"If there is something that I saw as disrespectful in a relationship, I would speak on it and I was pretty vocal ... communication is huge in a relationship," she continued. "There were things that, essentially, I would be like 'Hey look, this makes me feel like s---, this makes me feel this way.'"

In the end, things "weren't really changing," so Flanagan and Weber went their separate ways. Flanagan discussed their first breakup, which happened on New Year's Eve, telling Bristowe that she asked Weber not to announce their split until she told her friends and family, a request she said he ignored.

"I think there was some kind of mental thing going on ... essentially saying like 'I had to do this in 2020,'" she said.

"Maybe a week" later, Flanagan said, Weber tried to "get back together," but she was "pretty hesitant" to the idea.

"He's telling me like, 'I love you, I want to get back together with you,'" she continued, saying she gave her ex another shot -- but their relationship fell apart the following month.

"I don't think I will be in communication with him," noted Flanagan, saying Weber wasn't "the healthiest thing for me."

Flanagan was the fifth runner-up during Weber's "Bachelor" season. The pilot first proposed to Hannah Ann Sluss before breaking things off to pursue Madison Prewett. After that relationship went south, he and Flanagan went official in April 2020.
