LINDSEY: Come here, my child.
Oh, my little purr baby.
Since we've been back from the one-month anniversary,
it's been one thing after another.
But you know, I feel like we do best
when we're just having fun and laughing
and enjoying each other.
So I arranged for our wedding photographer
to come by after dinner.
And I got these corny shark costumes.
And we're gonna do a little shark family shoot.
Oh, my God.
Daisy, come here, baby.
MARK: Ha!
Look at JC.
I really care for Mark.
And I really want to be there for him, for better or worse.
And I'm getting a little bit of the worse.
But I just want a fun and relaxing night.
So this process is not an easy process.
Yeah, I know.
I'm here too.
It's not easy.
Can I finish?
LINDSEY: Yeah.
MARK: Cool.
You know, it took me four weeks to get to a point
where I was like, I do really care for this girl.
But I still don't know what direction to go,
because we have such a roller coaster relationship.
So it's a lot of, will these things ever smooth out,
or will they not ever smooth out?
Not once are you looking at this of where can I do better
and where did I go wrong?
I get like, well, if that's what you think,
that's what you think.
Fine, I'll do what you want if that's what you want.
And right now, I'm at the point of no return.
And I'm not sure I can even give anything else in.
I did tell you very many times, this is the boundary.
I feel like you've crossed it.
This bothers me.
You know that when you say I cross boundaries,
you don't say in that type of tone.
You raise your voice, and you get extreme--
Mark, you raise your voice.
MARK: Can you listen?
I raise my voice after you shout about your boundaries.
Sure.
It's all me, right?
No accountability, got it.
Two-way street.
LINDSEY: No, Mark. I take accountability.
MARK: All me. All me.
OK, you do.
Any time we had a conversation--
Stop. Stop.
You don't have to like grip me like that.
LINDSEY: OK, good.
I'm done.
LINDSEY (VOICEOVER): Mark is so quick
to shut off and disconnect.
And I'm trying to grab his hand, look in his eyes,
and connect to them.
And when he recoils, I'm just hurt.
A brick wall is a brick wall.
And I'm not sure I want to hurdle this brick wall.

COURTNEY: Hi.
MARK: How are you?
COURTNEY: How are you?
MARK: Nice to see you. Come on in.
I'm so excited.
Yeah.
Got the cats kind of spread out in different places.
I got a couple over here.
COURTNEY: Awesome.
MARK: I got one-- one over here.
It's gonna be just me.
The wife took off for a little bit.
So it'll just be me and the kids.
MARK (VOICEOVER): It's not something
that I wanted to do without her, but it is what it is.
I would recommend, since you already
had that one on your lap, if we're
putting this all together--
LINDSEY: Hey.
Hi.
You look very nice.
Thank you.
LINDSEY: I'm not feeling it.
You can just do it with just him.
I'm gonna go.
OK.
I'm so mad at Mark.
OK.
I want to do this.
But I don't want to just put an effort in.
I just want to hear if he wants me to be here or not.
MARK: Whatcha doing?
I'm gonna go to my house a little bit and pack up.
I'm really frustrated with you.
I'm very upset with you.
I feel like you actually don't give a [BLEEP]..
And when I try to talk to you, you like recoil,
and you get defensive.
And I'm just-- can't do it no more.
I can't take the lack of boundaries,
the lack of accountability.
It ain't worth it to me.
The price is too high.
MARK (VOICEOVER): The way that we speak and receive messages,
it has to change, because we're doing the same thing over
and over again.
She'll get mad about something that's probably valid.
But her way of telling it to me and being expressive
doesn't make me go change real quick,
because it's coming from such a negative tone, I feel.
If that's how you feel, it's how you feel.
You keep pushing me away.
I'm not trying to push you.
LINDSEY: You keep doing these things where I'm like,
you're not invested.
You're not ready.
You're not pouring in.
You can pour into everybody else, but not this.
I don't try to push you in any direction.
Mark, you don't try to do nothing hard.
OK, then I don't do anything, Lins.
OK.
I don't do anything.
Great.
Feel better?
Whenever I try to say something, it's
always like she feels I'm just trying to defend myself
and I can't hear her point.
And I'm like, I hear your point.
But there are two points in this argument.
There's what I did, and there's the way you talk about it.
And those are the things that we go
back and forth with every week.
We have someone here to do a photo shoot.
Do you want to do the photo shoot?
Do I want to pretend like I like you?
No.
MARK: Then don't.
Then don't.
