Married at First Sight

[NAB]

Ryan is homesick but he is only 1 hour away. There are starting to crack but think they can still pull though.

The other Ryan and Jess. Wow, she doesn't talk when she should, but she is right how does she know what he is thinking ...he is a stranger. Then we went back to the closet thing and they still haven't resolved that problem. They need to see these shows played back...

We didn't really see much of the other couple but they seem to be working it out for now.

I don't see why they keep saying Jessica needs to talk to more to Ryan and express herself more. I think she does just fine expressing herself.

Tall Ryan is kinda annoying to me. He's an hour from his momma and still complains about not being closer. Then he was complain that Jaclyn wants to have sex to much? Do newlyweds complain about such a thing LOL

I just got to watch the last episode.... OMG, Ryan (the one with Jessica) is a total douche...

I wanted to reach through the tv and strangle him!!! Effing douche!!!

Sean and Davina seem to be getting closer and working through some things so I'm happy to see that. Ryan and Jacklyn seem to be hitting a wall at the moment with regards to him missing his family, I hope this doesn't drive a wedge between them.

Sean and Davina just need to do it already. I mean seriously, it's been over 3 weeks. This episode showed them trying. If you think about it, many people that work in Manhattan do live outside the home for a few days a week. Not ideal for this 6 week reality show but people do make that happen.

I think they have to give Jaclyn and Ryan a story and this is what's playing out. She is "testing" him to see how much he'll take? Stop treating him like a project. He is struggling living an hour away. Well, he was living with his niece and basically helping raise her. I could see that. I think they'll work this out.

I cannot believe Ryan couldn't say one nice thing to Jess. I almost want her to call his mom and ask if he needs some meds or something. To me it seems like she called him out in front of the cameras for "taking" the $100 and he doesn't want to look badly. I think image is everything to him.

Watching Ryan and Jessica is so uncomfortable. He is such a hothead. She is trying to communicate but he just yells over her and storms out. I think he expected to have the same relationship as his grandparents did after only 3 weeks. Obviously his grandparents had issues during their 50+ years of marriage. He just wasn't privy to it. You can't possibly be married that long and not have bumps in the road. It just aggravated me when he threw her the Kleenex, and then high-fives her as he walks out.

I'm pretty sure Ryan is NEVER going to have a marriage like his grandparents had.

You can't treat people the way he's been treating Jessica and expect that.

Oh yeah! The high five was so bizarre lol! Like "buck up, bro".

 

[mom2rtk]

When he couldn't even come up with one good thing to say to her, I assumed they were done.

Does anyone else think that maybe, just maybe Davina can go to New Jersey on the weekends with Sean?
She needs to compromise a bit here too.
Personally looking at their tiny apt. I would be thrilled to go to his house in NJ for a few days a week. She must have days off.

Yes but I think she feels she shouldn't have to (and maybe she doesn't). She explicitly told the matchmakers that she was NOT flexible on location - that it had to be Manhattan. He told them that he WAS flexible, so they made the match. Now he is changing it's mind. Sure if you really love somebody you relocate for them, but they don't know each other that well yet, and so I think Davina feels like he pulled a bait & switch because she was honest about location being important.

 

[lorimay]

This is part of the problem with Davina, she doesn't want to bend an inch. I'm not saying she needs to move there, just spend a few days in NJ when she is off and he's working. Let him come home to her and maybe a nice dinner waiting.
Marriage is all about compromise.
I would much rather be in NJ with my husband then sitting alone in that tiny apt. feeling sorry for myself.

I am not sure any of our couples are going to choose to stay married this time. I was hoping that Ryan and Jaclyn were going to be like Jamie and Doug, but I don't think that is happening. I think Ryan is struggling, not only with missing his family, but also trying to get used to Jaclyn's big personality. I think she might be too much for him. I also think Sean is struggling. He wants to make it work, but there are definitely obstacles. I will be shocked if Jessica and Ryan stay married. He has a short fuse and completely unrealistic expectations since he is comparing his grandparents' 50 year marriage to his three-week relationship with a stranger. Ridiculous! When he couldn't say one nice thing about her, I think that is all we need to know about him.

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. I do not have high hopes.

 

[cleverclovers]

Anyone watching this?

It's a "reality show" featuring 3 couples who meet each other on their wedding day. Their spouses were chosen by four specialists (a sexologist, a spiritual adviser, a psychologist and a sociologist) for compatibility.

Does anyone think Jamie is going to back out of marrying Doug?

Do not watch the show. Whole premise sounds like a mockery of marriage.

 

[DawnM]

Just caught up.

Ryan (with Jess) is incredibly selfish and immature. He is not ready for any serious relationship. I can't imagine being married to someone like that.

 

[Jeafl]

Has anyone watched the past couple of weeks? I cannot even begin to guess if any of them stay together. They all have issues. The one thing that is becoming more apparent is that Davina is placing ALL the blame on Sean. She doesn't see her part in their problems. She wants him to make all the compromises.

When she said "wait, what have I done negative to make you feel bad?" I was done with her.
Even the Dr. made an eye bulge. She needs to see a shrink ASAP!

Davina reads high maintenance and self-centered to me. Could not believe how whiny she was when Sean came home sick and wasn't up for a romantic night. He worked all day, had a fever and was obviously sick, and he still tried to participate in the wine drinking/romantic questions thing she planned. Of course he wants to go to bed. Sheesh! What a drama queen. She clearly thinks it's all about her.

It really depends on your definition of marriage. There are many parts of the world where arranged marriages are the norm. There is a lot of research that goes into matching these couples so I wouldn't really call it a mockery. It's definitely not something I would do, but if it works for them then that's great.

I agree. I watch it, and it makes me uncomfortable when divorce seems to be such an easy option, but I think they may have more commitment to the idea of marriage than many people who go in with the idea that marriage is only for as long as they are "in love." I have four honorary family members who are in arranged marriages and are going strong after 30 years. (They are Cambodian.) I would never do it myself, and was nervous for them when they agreed to it despite living and assimilating here, but it seems to be working for all of them.
