Married At First Sight - Season 1 - General Discussion - **Spoilers**

ironcat wrote:It doesn't really bother me that the cast of this show all appear to have been looking for media exposure.  It's very common to have multiple reasons for pursuing certain courses of action these days, and they obviously all took this seriously enough to disrupt their lives for a couple of months.  (And realistically, anyone who chooses to live out part of their lives in public by appearing on reality TV isn't interested in anonymity to begin with.)  Even though Monet and Vaughn appear to be failing, I don't get the impression that they are "phoning it in", more that they just aren't all that self aware, are both very stubborn and set in their ways, and they seem to view relationships as some sort of competition.  I suspect that if either revealed some details of past failed romances, we would see very similar patterns in them to what we are seeing now.

I really feel that having sex within hours of meeting each other was a critical mistake, that has resulted in both having an unrealistic expectation for immediate emotional intimacy/understanding combined with a mutual lack of respect.  Not a good way to start a relationship.

Ironcat and 2 observe agreed.  But, that is what the general population does these days, wish it was so but.......
