- ♪ Today

- Ten singles took

a bold leap of faith
in order to find love.

They married
as complete strangers.

- I want to continue
with wanting a divorce.

- Unfortunately...

- I would like
to get a divorce.

- Four of our couples
ended in divorce.

- I would like a divorce.

- He is going to be
the perfect guy for someone.

I don't think it's me.

[dramatic music]

- But one final couple
still has that

life-altering choice to make

as their Decision Day
approaches.

- I came into this saying
I'm going to be raw,

I'm going to be vulnerable.

- Because that's
what my concern is.

It's like, oh, [bleep].

Are they kind of, like,
faking the funk,

or is Chloe people-pleasing?

♪

- And tonight,

while our singles
start navigating life

after Decision Day,

one couple will have
just over one week left

before making the biggest
decision of their lives...

either stay married
or get a divorce.

- Personally, I felt accused
of being inauthentic,

and I felt accused
of being fake.

And my feelings were hurt.

- It's like 2:00 a.m.
in the morning,

and he stayed with me
the whole time.

- I'm trying to talk to Lauren
as much as I can.

- He made me feel very safe
in the moment.

- Like, he really did
do the best that he could.

And why I'm just, like,
having second thoughts

and feeling like
I gave up too quick.

- Now that I've really
started to evaluate,

I'm really
questioning this marriage.

"Married at First Sight."

[energetic upbeat music]

♪ Whoa

- I'm super excited we can
spend a little time together.

I want to hear everything.

- Same with you.
- That has happened.

- Yeah, it's been a whirlwind.

It really has.
You're back at home.

- Back at home.

- Are you feeling OK,
being moved out and--

- It's a process.
- Yeah.

- But it's going to be
a cathartic--

- I'm motivated.
- Yeah.

- What about you?

What's, I feel like because

we're on our different
wavelengths.

I'm like,
what are you guys doing?

- I know.

- I know the different stages

and, like, all the fun,
good stuff ahead, but--

- Yeah.

So we just had our one month
anniversary.

- Oh, my gosh!
- Our month-aversary.

- How was, like,
the romance side of everything

continued to evolve?

- Well, we've evolved.

- Whoo!
- [laughs]

- Evolved.
[laughter]

- Oh, God.
- Yeah, you know.

We, uh,
we're full-blown married now.

- Do you feel like you're,
like, really falling in love?

- I think that
we like each other immensely.

- Mm-hmm.
- I care deeply about him.

I am strongly in like with him.

- Do you guys work through--
you had Dr. Pia yet?

Like, any, like,
the trust or intimacy things?

- We did not have
a great meeting with Pia,

Michael and I.

We were accused
of being unauthentic.

- Whoa.

- We may not necessarily align

on these little things
that just don't really matter.

Like, Michael's mom
doesn't know.

We don't have
our living situation lined up.

- I just don't think
she does or says anything

without any true good intent

or without some,
like, rationale.

- Yeah, yeah.

- She is hard,
but I don't think

she would be doing that if she
also wasn't pushing you...

- Yeah.

- To maybe get to the place
that maybe falling in love.

But do you think
she's kind of inferring, like,

these could become
more big issues if you're not,

like, maybe unpacking them
a little bit more now?

- Yeah, I guess so.

There are battles to pick,

and there are battles
not to pick,

and it's going to be things
that you navigate as you go.

- Her visits for us was like
pivotal, but I think

she is very intense,
I will say.

- Yeah.

- But from my
personal experience,

I think she would only
be saying that,

because she wants you
to open up more, like--

- Yeah.

- My only thing is from
my experience, I would say,

like, she wouldn't
say that unless

there was a deeper meaning.

But I would be remiss
for you guys

if you don't bring that up

and that turns into
a bigger conflict

when it comes to living
with each other,

because you're not
talking about it now.

She's worried
it could be an issue.

- That's a hard...
- Mm-hmm.

- That's a hard pill
to swallow.

- Today is Cameron's birthday.

And so, um,
we haven't talked at all.

Our communication
the last time we spoke was

when we were
with the entire group.

And he left
and didn't tell me--

didn't--
I asked him if he was OK,

and he just
didn't respond to me.

And I believe
he was just angry with me.

And so, yeah,
I texted him happy birthday.

And I got nothing back.
And so I don't know.

I'm just feeling like
now is the final straw.

Like, I cannot continue
to give any energy to this,

because, clearly,
it's just not--

he doesn't care about me,

and so I think I'm just needing
to come to the realization

that our relationship
is just, um,

over in all forms,
in all ways.

It is just not--

it's just--it's done.

I thought maybe today I, you
know, would reach out to him.

And maybe he would
want to chat and say,

you know what,
I'm sorry about the way

things transpired
with the group.

But I got--
I've gotten nothing.

And so, for me,
I'm just feeling...

I'm feeling aggravated,
but I'm also feeling

even more sure
that Cameron was

absolutely not meant
to be my husband

in any way, shape, form.

And so I'm just really
getting in touch with

all the things that I love,

like getting back
to working out.

I woke up at 4:30 this morning

and got my butt back
in the gym.

And those things
just feel good,

and they make me feel
like I am healing.

[soft dramatic music]

♪

- Come on.

Come on.

Being back in my safe space
feels amazing.

Just to be around,
like, the pictures

of the people that I love,

it just feels like being
surrounded with love again.

But I'm still missing Austin
really badly.

It just feels like
the typical breakup phases.

Like, I have days where
I am in denial.

And then, like, it'll just
hit me like a freight train.

And then the next minute,
I'll be angry

because of the things
that have gone wrong.

And then the next minute,
I'm just feeling sad.

I'm trying to tell myself

that maybe we could
have worked out.

It's every stage
just on repeat.

[sniffles]

[FaceTime chimes]
Hey, Mama.

- Hey, Beck.
How are you doing?

- [inhales deeply]
Um, I'm doing...

I'm doing OK.

Did you tell Dad yet about what
happened between Austin and I?

- Yeah.
He's just so confused.

- [chuckles] Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Yeah, no.

I've even, like, wondered if
I am making the right decision.

- It's just easy to be, like,
he lied, he's a bad person.

But that's not the
reality of it, you know.

He's a human
that made a mistake,

and I know that
I make mistakes.

And that's why I'm just, like,
having second thoughts

and feeling like
I gave up too quick,

or, like, maybe he could have
changed or evolved.

- I can't think that when
two people are in a marriage,

you have to be able
to trust each other.

Trust is a huge component
in a marriage.

- Yeah.

- And if somebody says
they're going to do something

and they're going
to work on something

and then that doesn't happen,
that starts to break down.

- I know.
- And that's hard to get over.

- Like, he really
did do the best

that he could in our marriage.

Like, I truly,
firmly believe that.

And at the end of the day,

it was not enough for me,

which makes me second-guess
whether my standards

are too high or whether
I'm too critical or,

like, how much
of this is on me.

- I don't think it's about
standards being too high.

I don't think
that's the question. I think--

- But, like, can I seriously
find a guy who's, like,

honest or, like,
emotionally intelligent

or, like, all the things that
I don't feel like Austin is?

- I think you need to think
about this as wanting to have

a pairing where
you're on equal footing

and where you can trust
the person without a doubt.

- It's like such a cliché,
but, like, I truly feel like

I want to, like, let him go
so that, like,

he can find a partner
that's better suited for him

because I'm just not it
for him.

I just think, like, there's
going to be somebody for him

that's just way better.

[somber music]

- Becca, that's
a very giving attitude.

That is.
- Oh, yeah.

And--
- I just want him to be happy.

[sniffling softly]

- And I hope
he wants the same for you.

I know how hopeful
you were,

but I think you guys had a few
things that are pretty huge.

Trust, religion, intimacy.

And your gut was telling you

that this wasn't
the right fit.

- Yeah. I think if he liked me
as much as I liked him...

even, like, intimacy
would have just been easier.

Like, just longer eye contact,
you know?

Like, anything.

- And you deserve that, Becca.

That's a super important part
of life, and you deserve that.

- Yeah.

- So don't question whether
you're deserving of it,

because you are.

- Thanks, Mom.

♪

[sniffle softly]

- Well, where do you go
from here?

- Ugh.

[sniffles]

Just eating hot dogs
and crying every day, probably.

I just need to, like,
reflect on, like,

the ways that I played
a part in this failing

and make sure that, like,

I don't repeat
those same mistakes.

- Becca, I think there's
so many factors that here,

and you can't just hang on
to the what-ifs.

The fact of the matter is
that played out

the way it played out.
- I know.

- And everything
that you experienced,

you were going to experience

at some point
in your marriage, you know?

- Yeah.
- You made your decision.

Now, you're going
to move forward.

Your person will not leave you
without like this,

because you're
an amazing person,

and you have so much love
and care to give.

And you just deserve
all of that and more.

So that's my wish and my hope.

And our whole family, Becca,
would just rejoice.

We're going to rejoice
the day you find your person.

I just wish it was Austin.

- We did, like,
a little, like...

- What'd y'all do?

- Archery-dodgeball situation.
- Mm-hmm.

- It was fun.
It was really fun.

- You feel like a friendship
might flourish from that?

- No. [chuckles]

So I feel like
I already told you

about, like, how I felt like
there was a lack of effort.

- Oh.

- So I did send him a text the
next day, where I feel like

a hard boundary was
established.

- OK.

- Right now, actually,
I am kind of dealing with

some rejection at a different
magnitude with Lauren.

You know,
over the last few weeks,

there's been conversation
of, you know,

friendship is on the table,

let's talk about how
we can make it feasible.

And then, you know,
the next text message

is the complete opposite,
where it's like,,,

I don't really want
to do this anymore.

- I'll read you some of
the texts, but not all of it.

- OK.

- "I feel like we've spoken
about how we feel and, like,

"how we're doing and I don't
think there's anything left

"to discuss in depth
unless we truly

wanted each other
in our lives."

And I'm at the
point where I don't.

And I let him know that
there's always space for us,

like, if he needs to, like,
vent about something,

like, there's space for that.

But I don't think
we need a friendship.

Set that boundary.

- For me, that was pretty hard
because, um,

I'm just not getting the
opportunity I was hoping to get

to really smooth things over
with Lauren.

- I'm curious.
Like, what...

are there specific things about
Lauren that you're--

you want in, like,
a friendship?

- Yeah, you know,
we had great chemistry.

You know, even though chemistry
isn't everything,

I thought we got along
really well.

And it's just been really
disappointing and frustrating

how this friendship
never came to be,

even though there was
so much positive talk about it.

- It's not like I'm just
saying, you're cut off,

don't speak to me
if you see me.

Just let's not do this
song and dance anymore.

- Yeah.
Whoo, you so nice.

- I was very nice in that text.
- Psh.

- And so he did text back.
- What did he say?

- You want me to read his text?
- Yeah.

- Sure.

He said, "thank you."

He said, "Thank you, Lauren.

"I recently got home,
and I do want to respond

with a thorough message."

And then he sent
the thumbs up emoji.

- OK.
And then what?

- That was it.

[quirky tense music]

- OK, so--

whew.
- He does that all the time.

He always says, I want to talk,
I want to do this,

I want to be friends.

And then there's
absolutely no follow-through.

- I don't like that.

- There's no--I can't
even call it consistency.

There's no consistency,
there's no follow-through,

there's no effort,
and that's frustrating.

- That is frustrating.

- I don't think Orion's
a bad person.

I don't hate Orion.

I actually think
he's a very kind person.

But I just can't
do anything with a person

who doesn't give me effort,

who doesn't give me anything,
who doesn't stick to his word.

And there's just been
no follow-through,

and I feel like this has
kind of been the story of us,

the I want to do this,
my heart's in it,

I really want this,
and then just nothing.

And that's one reason that
I feel like it's easy for me

to let, like, him go
because he's not even

the type of person that
I would want as a friend.

- Yeah.

- I don't want to put
in the effort to be his friend.

I feel like
I have genuine friends.

I have a good community,
a loving community.

I can't do the heavy lifting
all the time.

I feel like he just wasn't
willing to do the work.

- It's the thumbs-up for me.

- And, you know, it's OK
things didn't work out.

But you know, the growth and
everything that has happened

with it, I have definitely
been fine-tuning

what it is I want in a spouse.

- I'm gonna take a long
time before, you know...

- Yeah.
- I'm ready for that.

You know, I'm gonna do a
lot of self-healing and...

- Yeah.
- From this and you know.

It's very hard being married
in that environment

and the pressure and all
the emotions and everything.

You kind of don't know
what to think at times.

So I'm just gonna
take time for myself

and not rush into anything,
you know?

- That's good.

- What's going on elsewhere?
Are you dating?

[chuckles]
- I recently went on two dates.

- Girl.
- I know.

I feel like I'm a little back
in action a little bit.

- [chuckles]

- And the dates that
I went on were really good.

- Like solid?
- Like very solid.

- OK. We love that.

- One date in particular...
- Yeah.

- I felt very validated while
I was out with him.

I felt very safe.

Like, some crazy [bleep]
happened...

- That's great.
- On that date.

I had, like,
a car incident happen.

And it was like
2:00 a.m. in the morning,

and he stayed with me
the whole time.

He made sure, like,
I was good, my car was good.

And he was just,
like, very assertive,

took care of everything.
- Aw.

- It made me feel very
safe in the moment.

Yeah, it felt good.

And the other date was
really good, too.

So we'll see.

I don't know where these things
will head,

but, you know, I'm not--

I'm not about to get married.
- OK.

You got a double--
you saw my eyes.

- Got double-checked.
- Go hey, hey.

- I don't think I'm gonna
be a wife anytime soon

or even in another relationship
right now.

- OK.

- But I feel like
even though, like,

dating isn't, like,
high on the to-do list...

- I got you.

- The couple of dates
that I've been on,

I saw things in the people
that I was out with

that made me feel like,
oh, this is what I want

in a future spouse,
a future partner.

And stability.
That's the word.

- Yes, yes.
- I'm looking for is stability.

That's what I need
in a partner,

and I need to see that
before I decide

if I want to be with them.

- I just really,
truly admire your positivity

and your resolve throughout
this whole situation.

- I'm so excited.

I feel like
I got my groove back,

I got my personality back,

and I'm ready to go meet
new people,

go on more dates,
and just have fun.

I'm ready to have fun with it.
This process was not fun.

And I'm a fun person
and I'm ready for fun.

I feel like life is,
like, on the up and up.

- Hot girl summer, baby.

ever since that last event

Like, work took a hit.

But I just needed
to, like, process.

I've just kind of been, like,

going through it,
like, emotionally.

where you and Becca stand now?

- Kind of where things ended
was full breakup,

no more communication
of any kind.

I don't know what she wants.

We haven't talked
since we broke things off.

Since then, like, I don't know
if things have changed.

I don't know where
her head's at.

I don't know, like, what is,
like, wanted from me

or, like, if we're still
just excommunicato, like,

because, like, I still
think she's a great girl.

And like, it was really hard,
and like, I want to--

to, like, make amends
and make everything better.

But if we had met
on different terms,

we think, like, we could have
worked through our issues.

Something, like,
that could have been so good

ended up not in that place.

[somber music]

- I mean, it sounds
like you're still kind of

trying to work through
how you feel about that,

like, have that sense of,
I guess,

acceptance-slash-comfort
with that.

- Yeah. Yeah, and that's kind
of, like, where I'm at.

How are you and Chloe doing?

- You know, Chloe and I,
I mean, I think for us,

you know, we--
our journey is starting

to come close
to Decision Day now.

And I know for me, I mean,

I'm already starting
to feel a bit nervous.

And, you know, it's just
about navigating my emotions

and being able to determine,
like, are we at a place where

I feel like our emotional bond
not only is solidified,

but can continue to grow
at a considerable rate?

And it's tough, right, because,
like, you know

we talked about living together
after Decision Day

and then fostering children,
you know,

trying to get an idea of what
the future would look like

if we do say yes
on Decision Day.

So yeah, that--that's tough.

I do have my doubts, you know,
and I want to be transparent.

But, you know, it's tough to
kind of talk about your future

and acknowledge that, like,
it could be a no.

I'm gonna have to--

[suspenseful music]

I'm just gonna have
to, like, really defer

to how I feel on that day.

I thought I would fill you in
on, like, the latest.

Obviously,
we decided to get a divorce.

- Mm-hmm.
- Um...

but it was a little bit more
emotional than I anticipated,

a little more stressful, just
because leading up to that,

it was the most, like, spiraled
behavior I've seen of him,

which I've seen a lot.

But he decided to tell me
that I was negative

and that was one of the reasons
why this didn't work,

and he decided that
two weeks in

and that I was only positive
after my accident.

And I'm like, only positive
people can be positive after.

And I was like,
well, this is great to know,

like, you don't know who I am.

It's mind-boggling.

- Yeah, like, how your
realities can be so different.

- Yeah. Like, I just know
that he's kind of

a little of a lost cause
at this point.

But it still--it was sad.

- For sure.
And I've always said this.

Like, you need someone that
allows you to be who you are

and not just allows you,

but appreciates
every part of you.

It's like, would you
rather it work with him

and him not truly appreciate
who you are,

or would you rather he show
you exactly who he is...

- Mm-hmm.

- And get to find the person

that really does appreciate
every single piece of you?

- Mm-hmm.

- If he wasn't gonna only
accept, let's say,

even 60% of you,
it's not enough.

Like, he--
he wasn't enough for you.

- First relationship,
first marriage,

a lot of lessons learned.

But yeah, I'm excited to not
dwell on this on our trip.

I feel like traveling is always
what brings me back to center,

and I need to be back to center

before I really
start a lot of therapy.

So yeah,
I think this is just

the pre-healing healing.
- [chuckles]

I feel like last Turks trip,
I was like,

I've never needed a trip more.

But I think, like,
now I've never

really needed a trip
more, especially,

like, this type of trip.

- Yeah.
Us, like, backpacking.

- Sweating, no makeup.
- [indistinct]

I think I'm gonna bring
glitter, and that's it.

- You can't let 'em
take your glitter away.

- [chuckling] No.
But it is funny, though,

because I was like,
oh, I'll be married.

Like, don't have to share twin
beds with my friend anymore,

but I am so ready and excited
for twin bed sharing.

- You know,
just today, I booked--

there was a room where we
could do twin beds

or one king, and I was like,

what do we do?
- [chuckling]

- I did do a king,
so I will take a hike

if you need the room.

- No, no, no, part of Emily's
healing is not being--

not going off on--
off the rails.

Like, I feel like a whole
new level of self-worth

and appreciation that now
I feel, like,

needs to be earned
and worked for a lot harder.

And so I just don't think
that me, like, hooking up

with a bunch of people, like,
in this very fragile state,

it's not the right
way to, like,

set up my healing journey.

- For sure.

- And you can keep me
accountable for that.

- You want me to be
your [bleep] block?

- [chuckling] Yeah.

I just need, like, a break
and, like, relax, have fun.

- It'll be really good
for you.

I think we'll have
a lot of moments

where you can,
like you said, pre-heal.

- Yeah.

- After our visit from Dr. Pia
and then talking with Emily,

I realized that
I have fallen short

in communicating the things
that are important to me.

And so I'm really ready to have
a conversation with Michael.

Decision Day is
rapidly approaching,

and I'm not trying
to leave any stone unturned.

So I'm excited to--
to continue to talk.

I think after our conversation
with Dr. Pia, truthfully, like,

I did want to take a little
time to think about it.

- Sure.

- That was a hard conversation
for me to have.

I think you felt that.
- Oh, for sure.

- And I know that there were
moments where

the validity and authenticity
of our marriage

might have been questioned...
- Sure.

- Because you haven't shared
with your mom

because your mom knew about
the first marriage

and when the first marriage
didn't come to fruition,

you said that she said
that she was very relieved.

- Yes.

- Knowing that
your mom felt strongly

about this process
to begin with,

I actually think you'd be doing
a huge disservice to your mom

and your relationship with her

by bringing her in
at this point again.

- While we're still developing,
progressing, learning,

- Yeah.

- All that kind
of stuff, right?

Well, good.
- I mean, I do.

I don't think it's fair to her.

- I'm glad those
are your thoughts

because let's
focus our attention on us,

see where we go.

If we are at a place where we
know we're continuing to build

beyond Decision Day,
then obviously

you'll meet her, you know?
- Yeah.

It's hard to imagine that
a marriage to a stranger

could be going as well
as our marriage is going.

And it's difficult to believe
that there is not

a certain level of conflict

that it may appear
that we are avoiding.

- Sure.
- However...

personally, I felt accused
of being inauthentic,

and I felt accused
of being fake,

and my feelings were hurt.

And so not only did
I question the process,

I questioned whether or not
this inauthentic marriage

was actually authentic...
- Mm-hmm.

- And just how dedicated
you were had my head spinning,

for sure.
- Yeah.

- I will hand credit to Dr. Pia
in one regard

because the accusations have
at least brought us to a place

where we are
communicating openly

about how that conversation
impacted us.

And if there was one thing
that is within our power

to consider, it is how it might
look to move in together

after Decision Day.

[suspenseful music]

[music fading]

- Um...

I don't mind
having that discussion.

I get it.

It's not normal for
a married couple to go from

living together to not living
together for a period of time.

But we probably aren't
gonna be able to find

an apartment that would
accommodate all our animals.

Maybe we could find a house
to rent for that,

but that will be a tough
discussion with a landlord

to be like, yeah,
I'm cool with five animals.

- Yeah.
- You know?

And we're both
aligned that, like,

we are not gonna go and try to
buy a house right after this.

I don't think even independent
of our relationship,

I don't even think that was
on the near-term roadmap

for either one of us.

- Wasn't on the
near-term roadmap at all.

- And so that's my pushback.

- Um...I think we see what's
out there, what's possible.

Find a property that allows
us to be a whole family.

- Yeah, I'm--I'm open
to seeing what's out there.

What I would ask is that
we don't compromise

on the things that are
still important to us

in terms of that property.
- Mm-hmm.

- I'll be curious what we find
when we start looking.

- Great.

I'm not ready.

- So.

- Now that you are done
with Cameron

and that relationship is over,
are you gonna look for things

you don't want
in the next person,

like, the qualities
that Cameron had?

If that question makes sense.
- No, that's a good question.

I think Cameron had...
- OK, hey.

- A lot of amazing qualities,
right?

Like, he was goofy.
He was smart.

But I think I just need
somebody to understand me,

like, emotionally and,

you know, be supportive
in that way.

- Right.

- Whereas I didn't feel
like that was there.

So I don't know.

Yeah, I think, again,
he was a great person.

He was just not
the right person for me.

But I genuinely hope that
he finds someone that,

you know, clicks--he clicks
with and that he is happy

in whatever relationship.
- Right.

- Because, you know,
[bleep] got pretty bad

towards the end, but it doesn't
mean that I don't respect him

as a human being.
I still do.

I did reach out because
it was his birthday.

And he--he responded.

It was a lot later,
and he just said, thanks,

which I guess I cannot expect
anything more than that,

you know?
- Right.

- I think that kind of
signifies our relationship.

It's just that's where it's at.

We can have respect
for each other,

but it's just not gonna develop
in any sort of way.

- And I think that says
the person you are...

- Lenny.
- If you--I mean, not, like,

to think about how
you guys kind of ended up

and were not on the best
of terms

and you still reaching out...
- Yeah.

- That just shows the type of--
the caring person you are,

no matter how
the relationship is.

- Yeah.

- And I think that
that's big of you.

I think that that's bold.

- We cannot
get down on each other

for the things that went wrong.

Yes, they went wrong,
but I cannot label him

as a bad person
from a bad experience.

- Just because
it didn't work out.

- Right, a bad experience does
not make a bad human being.

- Absolutely.

- There are mistakes
that we made on both ends,

and I'm realizing that,
so I'm ready to just move on.

- Move on. Yeah.

- Mm-hmm.
- I'm so excited.

- But I think when I'm ready,
like, I've learned so much

about what I want in a partner

and what I don't want that
I'm excited to finally,

like, find someone who
meets that.

- Absolutely.
- You know?

- Yeah. And you will.

I know I've been saying this
for, like, our entire lives.

But I think it's been so hard
for you to find the right one

because he's had--
he hasn't been there yet.

- Why? Tell me why.

- It's gonna happen, though.
I'm telling you.

I've been saying this.
- Yeah.

- Like, the perfect guy is
just waiting right there.

As much as it sucks that

it didn't work out
with Cameron, she's--

she's gonna be just fine.
I have no reservations there.

I do hope--she keeps saying,
like, it's gonna take a while,

and I'm gonna need time,
which I get.

But I do hope that
she doesn't feel hesitant

to just get back out there

to a place of saying,

did we build enough
to continue a marriage?

Am I at that emotional place?

this whole journey

was conducive for me
to be in that place?

Like, that's where
I am struggling right now.

seeing a marriage,

the marriage, period.

You know, like, you're in such
a different place than I was.

I was, you know,
unhappy and sad.

And this whole time,

I've been trying to protect
Emily from getting hurt.

She's never been in a
relationship before, right?

And I didn't want her
to think that

this is what
a relationship was like.

So we didn't really have
things to work on

that could progress
our relationship because

it was literally just--
our conflicts were things that

were just how she felt that
I couldn't do anything about,

where you have something,
you know,

beautiful you've developed.

Like, we are all so happy

get to a place where we're--

we're both, like, OK.

[soft upbeat music]

- I am doing OK.

I won't cry because
I am not gonna cry on velvet.

- No, you look too good.

Your makeup's on point.
- You look too good.

- You look so good.
Don't ruin the mascara.

- If you want to cry,
I am here for you.

- We love crying.
[overlapping chatter]

- I think I'm definitely
going through, like,

a grieving, healing,
mourning process.

- Yeah.

- But I cannot tolerate
dishonesty in a relationship,

and watching Austin do that
in front of people

that saw him out was
just really difficult.

And then after that was even
more difficult because it was

like, oh, you're not
even really trying

to deeply apologize
or anything.

And so that was when
I was like, I--

I know I have flaws.

I know that I will
have to apologize.

I know that I probably will lie
in my marriage at some point.

Like, nobody is perfect,

but it's what you do after
that really matters.

And it's figuring out what
made you lie,

what about you makes you feel
uncomfortable, like,

all of those
self-discovery things.

- Yes.

- And I didn't hear
any of that from him.

And so I feel like I've gotten
closure from my marriage.

- ♪ You're just another
in the crowd ♪

[soft dramatic music]

[indistinct chatter]

- I feel like I've
tried all that I can.

I know that Austin's wife
is out there.

I know that it's not me.

Like, I know that
there's a partner that

will look at his dishonesty
and be like,

oh, that was a silly little
thing and move on.

Like, there are people
like that, and I just--

- True.
- I'm not that.

- I'm one of 'em.
- Cheers to closure.

- I was about to say,
cheers to not being that.

- Right.
- Because you deserve better.

- Right, we all do.
- Yeah.

I mean, I think
we all deserve better.

And I am still
not speaking with Brennan.

I think
there's nothing to say

and I think it's healthy
for us both, especially me,

to, like, not have any contact.

And then, yeah,
I am getting ready

to go to Hawaii and Vietnam.
- Look at her.

- I'm excited.
- So happy.

- Mm-hmm.
- So good.

- What's, like,
your side of things?

Like, do you feel like

you've had your side heard?

Or do you know where
she's coming from?

- Yeah, let's dive into it.

So accusation one, I asked
her to delete a diary cam.

I'm pretty sure
anyone on the planet,

if they see their significant
other talking immense amount

of [bleep] on them
on national TV,

you might feel the same way
and say, hey, like,

why are we airing out
our dirty laundry?

I told her,
save it on your phone,

keep it for your records.

And she happily deleted it.

The fact that it was
brought up, I'm like, OK.

Second accusation,
you and Cameron

joked about going
on a double date.

Clare tells Emily
that Brennan

said he wants
to do a double date.

But Cameron is the one who
told Clare what went down.

Clare interpreted it as
Brennan said those things.

OK, if you want
to call me a bad guy

for all those accusations
after everything I've done,

you know, saving her life
and being there for her,

and those are your takeaways,

I have no words, no words.

[tense somber music]

- Have you talked to her?

♪

Yeah. I mean, you know,
that's all hard.

I mean, we all felt how
hard it was to, like,

have our wives or our ex-wives

or whatever you want to call it
kind of come at us.

- And it is very hard to talk
through moments like that.

- I'm gonna be honest, bro.

That moment, I realized that

most of the girls, honestly,
were seeing red.

And at that point,
it was almost like we were just

sitting ducks
and we just had to take

all the blows they were giving
us, no matter how unfair,

unjust, and untrue
all of them were.

It was a point where
we could not reason.

- I mean, it was definitely

an emotionally-heightened...

- Oh, yeah.
- Evening.

- So everything
is still good-ish?

- Um...
I could use a little help.

- Yeah.
- Mm.

- Actually, not a little help.

Probably a lot more
than a little bit.

- I'm sorry, baby.

What's going on?
- I'm not doing great.

- No?
- We, uh...

we ended up actually looking
for a home to rent

post-Decision Day, but what
I wasn't quite prepared for

was Michael actually mentioned
living apart in a marriage.

- It just doesn't make sense.

- So, Mike, when
is your Decision Day?

- We're coming up on it
right now, yeah.

- How you feeling about it?

- My journey with Chloe hasn't
been nearly as hectic.

But where
our struggles have been

is, like,
thinking about the future.

I interpret Decision Day
as, like,

deciding if you
want to continue

to build and work
on this marriage,

key word being marriage.

And now I do feel
legitimately torn.

Thinking about
the future has me,

you know, acknowledging doubts
that I have

and concerns that I have.

- Nine times out of ten, I am
really cool, calm, collected,

and laid-back
and very willing to be flexible

and open-minded

- Mm.
- Yeah, for sure.

- And I am going to give
him what he needs.

- Absolutely.

- I am not going to do that
at the expense of

my character, my dignity,
and what it is that I need.

So we need to have
a conversation,

whether or not we have
a future for us.

- I think the challenge--

like, for me, I could say,
it's like,

I don't know if I am ready
for the next journey,

us living together
and fostering children.

Like, there's a
whole host of things

that I know I have
to emotionally consider

when it comes to being married.

You know, that's really where--

where I'm at and what
I'm trying to navigate.

And I feel like
there's always gonna

be a level of uncertainty,
fear, and doubt.

So I'm not looking for the
absence of those feelings.

All I'm trying to--
what I'm hoping I'll have

come Decision Day is clarity on
yes, I feel uncomfortable.

Yes, there's things
I'm afraid of.

And yes,
there's things I doubt.

But, you know, the hope,
the optimism, the excitement,

it--it outweighs that.

Like, I really feel like
that's what it's really

coming down to, you know?

And that's what
I've been wrestling with.

♪

- That--that's tough, man.

It's very difficult
to navigate.

I think, you know,

to get it off your chest

Hi, everybody.

So what's going on?
Tell me about it.

- Well, I wanted to get home

we still had potentially a--
our night.

I know you were sleeping,

conversation, but--
- Oh, no.

[both chuckle]

- No, no, it's not--
it's not anything scary.

It's just I have been
in a place of, like,

thinking about Decision Day
and what the future may hold.

So I think it's probably
an appropriate time

to start sharing my feelings,
let you know where I'm at.

You know, everything with you
has been so great, you know,

from the momentum
we've had in the beginning

to the time that I've been able
to spend with you.

Living with you has
not only been easy,

it's been fun, it's been great.

Getting to just learn about

who you are, all of that
has been great.

I think what I'm starting to
realize that I'm wrestling with

is just where I'm
at emotionally in terms of

feeling ready to continue
to stay married

and what that means.

Um...

I mean, at least for me, one of
the challenges about the level

of intensity of us
sharing everything

was just underestimating
how draining that could be,

even with us
being on the same page.

Like, you have been great about
receiving everything about me,

my--my background,
my perspective,

how I see the present,
how I see the future.

And I've tried
to be the same for you.

But, like,
there have been times

where I was surprised at, like,

why am I so drained
thinking of the future?

- Yeah.

So do you think, truthfully,
safe space,

that you are actually ready
to be married?

- That's what
I'm trying to navigate.

[tense music]

And now that I've really
started to evaluate,

I'm really
questioning this marriage.

Yeah.
