- The experts matched
five couples

to be married at first sight.

- Oh.

- One marriage ended
before it began.

But for the first time,

the experts gave Michael
a second chance

at love with Chloe.

- This is perfect.

And there's enough room
for a sanctuary out here.

- Now that I've really
started to evaluate,

I want to ask of you

not to make your decision
until Decision Day.

to celebrate that.

have already chosen divorce,

Chloe and Michael

will make their own

it gives us a chance
to keep going

and making it something
even more awesome.

continue this marriage.

me out to be the villain,

well, let me try some more,

give me nothing.

I'm moving forward every day.

a moment to really

Lauren is always sending,
like, daily affirmations.

She's sending books.
- Yeah, and...

Not even, like, being
with us in the process

to piggyback the vibe,

you know, Lauren and I,

we've definitely

As far as, like, my dynamic

in my now-dissolved marriage,

I've kind of checked out

of waiting for follow-through
with things.

So I've kind of
just set boundaries

and checked out myself.

trying to wrap my head

around that message, but...

want--nine days, nine years.

I don't care.

I finally thought about it
and sent him a message

oh, he really hasn't text back

in over a week.

- You're just
clocking the days?

- I mean, I feel like
you offer things

that you don't
follow through on.

- I wanted to give you
a thorough response,

but I'm still trying to
put that message together

because it seems like
a lot of just psychoanalyzing

and, honestly, a little bit
of projection.

- I was not psychoanalyzing.

I was being very compassionate
in that text message.

I was being very understanding
in that text message.

I offered room for us to still
chat about this

if necessary.

Like, I offered all of that
in that text message.

- Yeah, you have all
your bases covered.

- So what's the problem?

- The problem is that
there's an expectation to it.

- No, there is no expectation.

I didn't even expect you
to respond

until you literally said,
I want to respond.

I didn't even ask for that.
You gave it, Orion.

♪

I'm trying to give you
what you asked me for.

[chuckles] I didn't ask.
- Which is what?

asking for a friendship.

conversation about anything.

And so...

- Okay, I feel very attacked
for some reason.

I don't understand
why I'm feeling attacked

for trying to give you
what you wanted.

anything of what I wanted.

haven't had the chance to talk

about, like, your communication
styles and, like, what you need

or, like, how you like
to express yourselves.

for a while.

- I know you're not talking

I've been checked out
for a while.

- You have been.
You started dating--

- You checked out, Orion.
- I have a question.

Like, it seems
like neither of you

really want to, like, be
in each other's lives.

- And that's what
my message said.

It wasn't an attack.
It wasn't a psychoanalyst.

It was, like, I literally said,

we would have to talk

is if we actually want to be
a part of each other's lives,

And...

yeah, it sucks, and it kind of
makes me question everything.

I'm like, did I ever really
have feelings for him?

Like, I don't really know.

It seemed like it was
just too calculated.

- Calculated?
What was calculated?

- It's like, you cannot get
married, spill your heart out,

know you're gonna have to be

once you're there

to, like, put up guardrails

that there is...

I didn't cut anything short.

It's just not what I wanted,

I feel personally attacked

I did my best

I really did.

I know I didn't always do
the right thing and--

marriage, priority one.

Priorities
for you individually--

your reputations,
you wanting to give up,

you taking the easy way out,

like, you wanting to make
yourself feel better

by making us feel [bleep].
- Well, I mean...

if I'm going to speak--

I mean, what it came
down to was a boundary.

I mean--

- I'm finding some emotional
discomfort right now

by you saying,
I was done on day two.

But on day three, you tell me
you're catching feelings.

On day four,
you're crying in my arms.

On day five, you're taking a--

- That was
a pretty stressful honeymoon.

- Can I finish?

On day five, you're telling me,

thank you
for your patience with me.

On day six, you're saying
I don't have your back.

So how can you say you tried
when you're lying to me

the whole honeymoon, Orion?

Because if you checked out
day two, then check out.

- All right.
- Check out. Leave.

♪

- This is what it is.

I was trying really hard to
stay in it and not leave.

you been honest--

- Hey, let me finish.
Let me finish.

to finish with you, Orion.

That's the problem--we didn't
get to finish the marriage.

I don't get to finish
[bleep] with you.

- I think we should--

- No, I'm really tired of
y'all always interject--

I didn't interject
on you and Becca's stuff.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- I never interject.

So I'm going to talk my [bleep]
right now because it's valid,

because I'm not going to sit
here and listen to you--

- I'm not saying it's invalid.
- Oh, my gosh.

Can I [bleep] finish?

You put me on an
emotional roller coaster.

I got off.

You dragged me back
in very publicly

at the couples' retreat.

And you can make your face,
but everyone was there.

I asked for nothing.

I literally said,
I'm here just to vibe out.

You kept bringing me
back into this [bleep].

So, finally,
I was, like, well, [bleep],

maybe since Orion does want
to be friends, maybe I'll try.

And then, of course,
I try, and you give nothing.

And you're trying to make
me out to be the villain...

- Nothing?

All I do is try.

All I do is give
you compassion.

All I do is take
accountability.

I think, for me, it was like...

there is a different intention

with marriage and,
quite frankly, for me,

a different expectation.
- Mm-hmm.

- You know, I want to be
in a place

with, like, a confidence and
desire to continue a marriage.

- Yeah.

- And I think that's
what's challenging for me.

- I think that sometimes

we can sort of
overanalyze and--

- It is one
of my biggest faults.

- [groans]
Yeah.

It's the paralysis of
analysis.

You know?
- Yeah.

- That's a good way to put it.

- It's like you think
yourself out of a thing...

- Yeah.

- You know,
instead of stepping back

and looking at the value,

looking at the beauty
and saying, you know what?

This is good.
Just empirically, this is good.

- Yeah.

- I mean, my gut, my
guiding compass in all this

is how it made me feel.

And how do I feel
coming into the day?

How do I feel about thinking
about the future?

What does that make me feel?

It becomes difficult

to be able
to fully explain that,

but I would want to at least
make the concerted effort

to say that I am using that
as my compass.

- May I challenge you
just a little bit on that?

- Please do.
I'm always here for it.

- Okay. I think it's really
important for us

to listen to our feelings.

How are you feeling
when you're with Chloe?

- Mm-hmm.

I mean, when I'm with Chloe,

I mean, I think
it's very easy to see,

like, we really enjoy
each other's company.

I enjoy my time with Chloe.
Chloe does make me happy.

Chloe makes me feel, you know,
very secure.

A lot of the things that
I personally wanted to work on,

like, she exemplifies
them, so--

- Can I pause you for a moment
and have you check in

with yourself and recognize
when you just started talking

about Chloe,
you started to glow?

- You did.

- You started to smile
in a different way.

You let that guard down.
You stopped being in your head.

You stopped intellectualizing,
and you talked from your heart.

Like, I'm just looking
at the two of you right now

and how you're holding on
to one another, right?

And I'm wondering if you
are even aware of that,

even in this moment,

of the connection
that the two of you have?

Like, it's the nonverbals
there, right?

Like, that's the authenticity
that I'm talking about, right?

Because both of you are so
smart, like we've been saying,

you can intellectualize
by the words that you're using.

But I would encourage you
to look at the nonverbals,

because that, to me, speaks
volumes above the verbal.

- It does.

♪

- I mean, I...

I'm aware when it's brought,
like, to our attention.

- [clears throat] Yeah.
- But I think sometimes

it's kind of just, like,
I guess, subconscious...

- Mm-hmm.
- To a certain degree.

It's like, the deference
of, like, when she speaks.

Like, I kind of--
just by default, you know,

my attention will go to her.
- Right.

- But it's not like something
I'm thinking of.

But, like, when
you bring it up,

it's like, oh, yeah,
no, I recognize it now.

Yeah.
- Yeah.
