INTERVIEWER: Tell me your assessment
of everything that's going on in your marriage right now.
HUSBAND: The big picture headline
is that Alyssa, I think from the wedding night-- she thinks,
I think, from the few days after has no interest
in being married to me.
She said that we're not compatible.
She's used the phrase robbed, gypped.
And it started the night of the wedding.
INTERVIEWER: Hey, what about you, Alyssa?
When did you first feel disappointed?
ALYSSA: Mm-hmm.
You know, when I first saw him, I was like,
OK, I don't think that that's like my physical type.
[SNIFFLES]
I could have walked away then, but I didn't because, you know,
I was like, OK, let's see why we were matched.
And let's see what's going on.
And then I think I started to get a little bit,
like, nervous when I started, like,
hearing his friends tell me things
and, like, things from his family.
And I think that was, like, when I first
started to be like, oh, my god.
Like, what did I get myself into, kind of?
INTERVIEWER: Did you guys talk in depth about these things?
No, because, like, too many things kept happening.
I just felt like I kept getting, like, pushed down in the ocean
by, like, a cinder block or something
and I, like, could not get out.
MAN: That's why we couldn't get out.
ALYSSA: I mean, I know that, like, I
came into today wanting to try and work on things
and see what we can do.
I felt like, and I hoped, that we
could have gotten to a place.
And, like, I saw glimmers of it.
Like, when we were paddleboarding, like I said,
I felt like we had a good time.
And we were playing tennis.
I felt like we had this good thing going, and we could chat.
And then--
INTERVIEWER: Alyssa, but I got to--
hold on, Hon.
I got to help you here because even on the wedding night,
you didn't want to go to the suite.
No.
ALYSSA: Well, sharing the bed thing has just, like,
never been something I've been comfortable with no matter who
the person is.
But you do know that you were getting married.
No, I know.
INTERVIEWER: You get married.
You go on your honeymoon, and you move in together.
You don't go on a honeymoon and then say, OK, fine.
I'm going to stay here four weeks--
four weeks.
You stay there four weeks because we
have to get acclimated.
That's not marriage.
I mean, a quote from his perspective.
You're already showing a pattern of not
wanting to be around him.
ALYSSA: I just-- like, I have been trying to look for things
and, like, try to look for positives.
And--
What have you found?
I really haven't.
Well, because he found something early on.
His-- his testimony was that, hey, I see why we were matched,
because you said initially what about her?
The word that I used over and over
and over again was impressive.
INTERVIEWER: Yeah.
HUSBAND: I always thought on paper that we were--
INTERVIEWER: Yeah, well, we-- - Compatible.
INTERVIEWER: We did too.
I imagine-- I imagine you did.
[LAUGHS]
[TENSE MUSIC]
For me-- this is my decision now.
INTERVIEWER: Sorry.
Are you saying you want a divorce?
I want a divorce.
OK.
How do you feel about that?
Sorry.
[SNIFFLES]
INTERVIEWER: Yeah, it's OK.
It's OK.
ALYSSA: I just feel like I worked so hard to get here.
[SNIFFLES] I'm like, I never thought this
would be the outcome for me.
When you say this, what are we talking about?
ALYSSA: I just-- like, I guess the situation that I'm in right
now, like, [SNIFFLES] the arguing
and the miscommunication and then,
like, the disrespect and, like, feeling alone.
If I didn't want to be here, I wouldn't be here.
I had chances to leave and go home, and I didn't.
And I have told you that.
And I have--
I mean, everybody knows that.
HUSBAND: I think there are a lot of reasons to still be here.
But I don't think marriage is the one that you're here for.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
ALYSSA: I have a problem with, like, when you speak like that,
it seems like you are insinuating that I'm
not here for the right reasons.
Like, I didn't come here to be on TV.
I came here for the right reasons and to be married.
So when you say that I'm not here for the right reasons,
it triggers me because it's not fair and not accurate.
INTERVIEWER: And I understand when there's deep hurt,
when there's pain, when there's disappointment,
sometimes those things are difficult to get over.
The road ends here.
OK?
And I'm so sorry because this is not what we wanted.
It's so not what we wanted.
