Timeline uncertainty

The article states:

Originally Rom entered a standard five-year contract with Prinadora's father to produce a child, but then he made the mistake of falling in love with her. As a result, he signed an extension to the contract without reading the fine print, allowing Prinadora's father to cheat him of all his money. Prinadora eventually left him for a richer man. (DS9: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume")
Several months later, Rom expressed concern that Leeta could be like Prinadora when they got married. (DS9: "Call to Arms")

When is this "several months later"? After she left him or after this revelation? I think it's the latter, given (1) the "several months" between the two referenced episodes and (2) that Prinadora wasn't present (as I recall) during the first several years of DS9. But the text seems to imply the former. Maybe she just wasn't shown and was only mentioned when she left him a few "months" before his second marriage. I had thought he was single for the first five seasons (until his marriage to Leeta), but now I'm not sure.

Can anyone explain (and perhaps reword the passage for clarity)?
