This is one disappointment.
And if it's a disappointment that mirrors other things
you need, then we need to talk about what are the things.
Not-- not the damn cornfield.
I need to feel included.
It's been seven weeks.
But it's, like, it's not about time anymore.
It's about two people trying to figure it out together.
It really isn't about the cornfields.
And if I was to say it sooner, it would
have been me pressuring him.
So it gets to a point where I don't know what to say anymore.
What am I supposed to live through this relationship
not saying how I feel? - Well--
Oh, that must have been a tough seven weeks.
[music playing]
Can I ask you a question?
Yes.
Why is it that I don't get a pass because I have
one moment where I'm upset?
I didn't-- it wasn't about a pass.
You then took this whole, isolated incident
and then turned it into our whole relationship.
Jephte, because I told you how I felt about it.
How this-- - You said--
--was the cherry on the top and to how I feel.
He still doesn't get it?
Seriously, Jephte?
My god.
How many times do I have to tell them that I want us
to get through life as a team.
And if he can't do that, this is not going to work for me.
I don't know what the hell she wants from me.
It's seven weeks in. - Well, wait.
Don't you do that. - Ha!
- Let her go. - Shawniece--
No, let her go.
Shawniece, be a grown up.
Shawniece, come on.
I'm done.
You can't be.
This is going to go bad.
And this is what I've been talking
about, about being pushed.
I'm your wife.
I've been your wife for seven weeks!

[door closes]
In marriage, you need conflict because you need to talk
about things you don't like.
Let's talk about it out here.
That's the way you grow.
But conflict isn't good, however,
if there's not compromise, discussion, and the maturity
to deal with the things they don't like in language that is
not hurtful to their partner.
Come on.
This is not unsolvable.
Right?
Seriously.
Why do I always have to ask for the things that I need?
Like, I want to feel wanted by you.
Your actions don't show that you want me around.
Like, you want me here.
You're getting tired of being patient.
It's not that I'm getting tired.
It's every time it's I'm not saying anything because I
don't want to pressure you.
So what does that do?
My first instinct is not--
say nothing, because I don't want--
I don't want you to hate me.
I don't want that.
I don't want that outcome.
So I don't say nothing.
And then it does seem like it's building up,
because now I'm telling you, hey, these
are the things that have happened to why
I'm really feeling like this.
But I don't communicate to you at that time,
because what does it-- it turns until you
feeling like I'm rushing you.
And I'm not rushing you.
I don't want to rush you.
But when I need things, and I'm telling you that I need things,
it shouldn't be that I'm being needy.
It's not fair to me.
[music playing]
You're-- you're absolutely right.
It's not fair to you.
I feel like now that I've seen it in this aspect,
I'm starting to realize that throughout my whole life,
from where I'm really just not a great communicator.
And that's not fair to her.
So I will take blame for how she is, how she's reacting to it,
and I should have done it in a better way.
Just because I care about Shawniece so much,
so I'm trying to really be open.
There's no perfect couple, but people who just have to make it
work or decide to make it work.
And more than anything, I want this marriage to work.
I do apologize for the way I behaved in the car
and what I was saying.
It wasn't-- it wasn't at my best self.
And I'm going to do right by the experience and by--
by the whole "Married at First Sight"
thing and-- and give it a shot.
[music playing]
Now would be actually a decent time to put your arm around her
and just give her a hug of reassurance.
Is that OK?
May I get a hug?
Yeah.
At that?
We going to take it in?
[music playing]
I signed up to be "Married at First Sight"
knowing that I was taking a risk.
And I do care about Jephte.
And I feel like he's evolving as a man.
He's opening up his mind.
So I commend him.
And I'm super excited that he is trying.
But is it going to be enough for us to stay together?
