00:00:00So excited to show David around, my hometown.
00:00:03We're here.
00:00:05When the couples took off across the country,
00:00:08they tasted married life beyond the experiment.
00:00:12You've always told me, don't come here to Sydney for me.
00:00:15Well, I'm open to moving now.
00:00:17And for Stephen...
00:00:18Must admit, I kind of like holding a rod and getting kissed.
00:00:21He gave Rachel the reassurance she needed
00:00:24to begin their next chapter together.
00:00:26What I see is a life outside the experiment.
00:00:30It really reaffirms the feelings are real, the feelings are neutral.
00:00:36My feelings are, like, they're pretty gone.
00:00:39Emotions ran high for some.
00:00:41You should be able to say something nice and be genuine about it.
00:00:45And despite winning over her nearest and dearest...
00:00:48David is everything that you've asked for.
00:00:50I don't know, I feel like I'm getting overwhelmed with it.
00:00:52David still felt he wasn't able to be the calm to Alyssa's storm.
00:00:57She still sees negatives.
00:00:59There's nothing else I can do.
00:01:00What's that?
00:01:01Mine's a pink.
00:01:02Is it your exes or something?
00:01:04And on the Gold Coast...
00:01:05I see you being pressured.
00:01:06Like, you need to be able to voice your concerns.
00:01:08Are you scared about her reaction?
00:01:09Pretty much.
00:01:10Scott struggled to voice his issues with Gia.
00:01:13I feel like sometimes I'm walking on eggshells.
00:01:15You know what I mean?
00:01:15No, no, no, what I'm saying is, like...
00:01:17I didn't know you wanted to argue today.
00:01:20Tonight...
00:01:22Now, in just a short time,
00:01:24you have one of the biggest decisions
00:01:25that you're going to have to make.
00:01:27Whether or not you can take this relationship
00:01:30into the real world
00:01:32and make it a success.
00:01:34Welcome.
00:01:35It's the last commitment ceremony of the experiment.
00:01:39This is a very pivotal night.
00:01:42And after two months of marriage,
00:01:44uncomfortable truths will be exposed.
00:01:46I want a partner who can have
00:01:49a constructive conversation with me
00:01:50about an issue.
00:01:51I can't mind-reading.
00:01:53It's not mind-reading.
00:01:53Oh, my gosh, I can't.
00:01:54I cannot...
00:01:55David reveals what's really going on
00:01:58in his relationship with Alyssa.
00:02:00You did mention I was a weak man.
00:02:01She called you a weak man?
00:02:03Yeah.
00:02:03So that's a problem.
00:02:05No, no, no, do not blame me.
00:02:07After weeks of giving her heart to Danny...
00:02:10I'm not going to walk down to final vows
00:02:13with someone that's a maybe about me.
00:02:15Is this the night Bec finally calls it quits?
00:02:19I'm not doing it.
00:02:21I'm not.
00:02:22And then...
00:02:23What I'm seeing here is fake.
00:02:25I'm going to call you out.
00:02:27I've seen it the entire experiment.
00:02:29If you don't let us in,
00:02:31you're not going to last.
00:02:33It's Scott's moment of truth.
00:02:35I'm getting a bit nervous.
00:02:40What I'm going to talk about tonight is
00:02:42I don't want you to be upset.
00:02:44What I'm going to talk about is feelings
00:02:47where I...
00:02:50Take breath.
00:02:52Breathe.
00:03:10It's the morning of the final commitment ceremony.
00:03:15Yummy.
00:03:16Get some caffeine.
00:03:18Cheers.
00:03:18Yeah.
00:03:19And after eight weeks in the experiment,
00:03:22tonight marks the last time
00:03:23the couples will come face-to-face
00:03:25with the experts.
00:03:27How'd you sleep?
00:03:28Yeah, I slept really well.
00:03:29Really, really well.
00:03:30I love our little midnight make-out sessions.
00:03:34Some people have chats.
00:03:35We have make-out sessions.
00:03:36We have make-out sessions.
00:03:37Yeah.
00:03:37I love it.
00:03:38This week, during homestays,
00:03:40the couples were tested
00:03:42as they prepare for a life
00:03:43outside the experiment.
00:03:45It was good.
00:03:46I'm just enjoying the last couple of weeks.
00:03:48Stella and Phillip continue to evolve as a couple,
00:03:51having said,
00:03:52I love you.
00:03:55Rachel and Stephen have been slower
00:03:57to open their hearts.
00:03:59But day by day,
00:04:01their connection grows.
00:04:02It was really good to tell everyone
00:04:04about our homestays
00:04:05and even reflecting on it
00:04:07like after last night's dinner party.
00:04:10Do I dare say that we're
00:04:12one of the strongest
00:04:14in the group now?
00:04:15Dare to say it, babes,
00:04:17because I've been saying it.
00:04:19Yes.
00:04:20Oh.
00:04:22For Alyssa and David,
00:04:25homestays has exposed cracks
00:04:27in their relationship.
00:04:30I feel like David and I
00:04:32have been a strong couple
00:04:34throughout this experiment.
00:04:35I still believe we are
00:04:37because we have each other's backs.
00:04:38It's just hard.
00:04:39Be careful.
00:04:39It's just...
00:04:40You know, we have been honest
00:04:40with each other about a lot of things.
00:04:42But since homestays,
00:04:44it's taken a turn.
00:04:46We have had deep conversations,
00:04:48big conversations,
00:04:49and David's maybe held back
00:04:51from saying what he really felt
00:04:53in that moment
00:04:53or questioning what I meant
00:04:54in that moment.
00:04:55And now,
00:04:56towards the end of the experiment,
00:04:58it's all coming out.
00:04:59how are you feeling?
00:05:02Um, I'm feeling...
00:05:06I'm feeling...
00:05:06like...
00:05:06we've got a lot going on
00:05:08right now at the moment.
00:05:09Just, uh,
00:05:10we're not really understanding each other.
00:05:13Yeah.
00:05:13I feel like we have a lot to unpack
00:05:14and a lot to, you know,
00:05:16break down,
00:05:17and, yeah,
00:05:18there are some cracks,
00:05:19and, you know,
00:05:20the pressure of the experiment ending,
00:05:22it's definitely
00:05:23taken its toll
00:05:25on me.
00:05:27I felt in homestay
00:05:28that I'm like,
00:05:30okay,
00:05:30he's keen to move to Adelaide,
00:05:31wait,
00:05:32haven't met his family,
00:05:33wait,
00:05:33haven't met his friends,
00:05:34oh, wait,
00:05:34I don't even know
00:05:35he's got multiple jobs,
00:05:36like,
00:05:36I don't know if he's stable,
00:05:37I want to have family,
00:05:38like,
00:05:38this is me spiralling
00:05:39because I'm like,
00:05:40this is too good to be true.
00:05:42Obviously,
00:05:43homestays is quite late,
00:05:44but it's brought up
00:05:44a lot of other things
00:05:45that we should have dealt with
00:05:47a long time ago.
00:05:48Like,
00:05:48have the conversations
00:05:49if you don't agree with something,
00:05:51or have the conversation
00:05:52or ask the questions
00:05:53when you don't understand
00:05:54something that I've said.
00:05:55Well,
00:05:55all I'm going to say is,
00:05:57I have...
00:05:57We should have gone there,
00:05:58but we haven't,
00:05:58and I haven't felt,
00:06:00like,
00:06:02challenged enough.
00:06:02I'm with you on that.
00:06:03You need to break through
00:06:03that softness
00:06:04and be strong with me
00:06:05because I want to be a team with you
00:06:06and talk things through
00:06:08and, um,
00:06:09you know,
00:06:10like...
00:06:11It's so frustrating
00:06:12to sit here
00:06:12trying to express
00:06:13my side of the story
00:06:15and I can hardly
00:06:16get a word in.
00:06:17I feel like there are holes.
00:06:18I think there was a...
00:06:19All I'll say is...
00:06:20There are cracks.
00:06:21There was a bit of,
00:06:22like,
00:06:24the last couple of days
00:06:25what I've been struggling with
00:06:26is I haven't been as,
00:06:28like,
00:06:28willing to have those...
00:06:30Hard conversations.
00:06:31Hard conversations with you
00:06:32about how I was feeling.
00:06:33But, babe,
00:06:34like,
00:06:34if you don't talk to me
00:06:35about your reservations,
00:06:37that's not healthy, babe.
00:06:39Yeah.
00:06:39Talk to me.
00:06:40We need to voice.
00:06:42And that's what I need
00:06:43in this relationship
00:06:44and that's...
00:06:45You're not fulfilling
00:06:45that need for me.
00:06:46And I believe that
00:06:48it's right
00:06:49to put it all out of the table.
00:06:51I don't ever want
00:06:51to have to hold back.
00:06:52I don't think it's that
00:06:53you hold back,
00:06:54but I think one thing
00:06:55about you is
00:06:55you hold on too much
00:06:57and then...
00:06:57Babe, I know, but...
00:06:58Babe, you say...
00:07:00Babe.
00:07:02You're spiralling
00:07:03within yourself.
00:07:04I know, I'm not.
00:07:05Are you done?
00:07:05I can't even get a word in.
00:07:08I feel like it's
00:07:09a slap in the face.
00:07:11Alyssa says she wants
00:07:13a hard, challenging conversation
00:07:14and she's wanted this
00:07:15for a long time,
00:07:15but it's not just like that
00:07:17with Alyssa.
00:07:18It's not.
00:07:19Respect is only
00:07:20on her terms
00:07:21and the relationship
00:07:22only goes her way
00:07:23or the highway.
00:07:24So that is a big deal break
00:07:26for me as well.
00:07:26It is the first time
00:07:27where I feel like
00:07:28both of us
00:07:30are very disconnected
00:07:32a lot more
00:07:33than we ever have
00:07:34going into
00:07:34a commitment ceremony.
00:07:36And tonight,
00:07:36I'm just going to be
00:07:37completely honest
00:07:38because I've hit my limit
00:07:40and I'm not going to
00:07:42like hold back.
00:07:43I'm just going to
00:07:43put it all on the table.
00:07:49As for Danny,
00:07:51his controversial views
00:07:53resulted in a tense
00:07:54argument with Bec
00:07:56at last night's
00:07:57dinner party.
00:07:59It makes you feel
00:08:00like a bit of a bitch
00:08:00moving in with a woman.
00:08:02What are you on about?
00:08:04He's talking about
00:08:05feeling emasculated
00:08:06if she was the one
00:08:08who owned the house.
00:08:10F*** me!
00:08:14And this morning,
00:08:15they are still struggling
00:08:17to resolve the issue.
00:08:18People can feel
00:08:19how they want to feel.
00:08:20You know what you mean?
00:08:21Whether other people
00:08:22agree with it or not,
00:08:24like, it's not up to them.
00:08:25This is how I feel.
00:08:26I feel like
00:08:27moving in with a woman
00:08:28just doesn't feel
00:08:30very manly of me.
00:08:31You know?
00:08:32Yeah.
00:08:33You don't understand.
00:08:34I do understand.
00:08:36I get what you're saying.
00:08:37But I suppose
00:08:40if we're talking about
00:08:41creating a life together
00:08:42after this experiment,
00:08:45then you're going to have
00:08:46to get over that.
00:08:49Am I right or am I right?
00:08:51The funny thing is with Bec,
00:08:53when she feels a kind of way,
00:08:55it's a completely valid feeling.
00:08:57That's how she feels.
00:08:58Well, when I say
00:08:59it makes me feel this way,
00:09:01oh, nah, but, nah,
00:09:02but that's not right.
00:09:03It's not actually to do
00:09:04with you being a woman.
00:09:05I wouldn't move in with anyone
00:09:07and just, like,
00:09:08freeload often.
00:09:09You pay the bills,
00:09:10I'll pay the mortgage,
00:09:10you'll be done.
00:09:11Easy.
00:09:12It's a neat tie.
00:09:14Other than that,
00:09:15we had a great night.
00:09:17Yes, sir, yeah.
00:09:18And whilst Bec and Danny
00:09:20continue to disagree,
00:09:22our other couples
00:09:23are preparing
00:09:24for the final commitment ceremony
00:09:26of the experiment.
00:09:29You look great.
00:09:30You too.
00:09:31Yeah.
00:09:32Yeah.
00:09:33Very pure, you know?
00:09:35Yeah.
00:09:36Yeah.
00:09:36Very appropriate.
00:09:37Very appropriate.
00:09:39As our couples face
00:09:41the experts
00:09:42for the last time,
00:09:44a defining choice awaits.
00:09:47Tonight,
00:09:48they must decide.
00:09:51Stay in the experiment
00:09:52through to final vows
00:09:54or walk away
00:09:56from their marriages
00:09:57for good.
00:10:01For Scott,
00:10:02the pressure is mounting.
00:10:04He feels it is now
00:10:06or never
00:10:06to reveal his true feelings
00:10:08to his bride, Gia.
00:10:10final commitment
00:10:12ceremony tonight.
00:10:13Crazy, isn't it?
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:16Can you believe
00:10:17that we've made it
00:10:17this far?
00:10:20Yeah,
00:10:21I definitely
00:10:21didn't imagine it.
00:10:25I do think
00:10:26we had a great week.
00:10:28I don't think
00:10:29we're going to have
00:10:29too much feedback tonight.
00:10:30I think
00:10:32it was great.
00:10:33Like, I can't fault
00:10:33homestays.
00:10:34It went really well.
00:10:35Positive,
00:10:36good vibes,
00:10:37you know?
00:10:37So,
00:10:38hopefully not getting
00:10:39grilled hard tonight.
00:10:41I feel like
00:10:42I've been hit a bit
00:10:43throughout this experiment
00:10:44from the experts.
00:10:47Yeah.
00:10:48Yeah.
00:10:52What else?
00:10:56I get nervous
00:10:57going to the
00:10:58commitment ceremony
00:11:00because I still
00:11:01can't be 100%
00:11:02myself
00:11:03and I feel like
00:11:04I just can't
00:11:05have a voice sometimes
00:11:06because she thinks
00:11:06we're going to have
00:11:07an argument
00:11:07and I want her
00:11:08to be able to understand
00:11:08that we need to speak
00:11:09anecdotally
00:11:10knowing that
00:11:10if I have a concern
00:11:11or she has a concern
00:11:12we can talk
00:11:13and it's not going
00:11:13to lead to a disaster.
00:11:15You've got to be able
00:11:15to communicate.
00:11:16So you ready for tonight?
00:11:19I don't like
00:11:20commitment ceremonies,
00:11:21you know that.
00:11:22Yeah.
00:11:22I feel like
00:11:23we're at the point
00:11:24where, you know,
00:11:25we're almost
00:11:26falling in love.
00:11:27Yeah.
00:11:28Then I feel like
00:11:29if she feels more
00:11:30than me
00:11:30and she doesn't
00:11:31get anything back
00:11:32from me
00:11:32she'll start spiralling
00:11:33and start saying
00:11:34harshful things to me.
00:11:36Very harshful things.
00:11:39And so then
00:11:40I feel like
00:11:41I can't talk
00:11:42and I go quiet
00:11:44and I go flat.
00:11:47But that retracts
00:11:48me every time
00:11:48and that's what
00:11:49pushes me away
00:11:50from falling in love
00:11:50and I don't think
00:11:51she understands that.
00:11:52So you've just
00:11:53got to look at
00:11:53the positives,
00:11:54you know?
00:11:57Personally,
00:11:58I'd love to speak up
00:11:59and share everything
00:12:00because it's good
00:12:01to get feedback.
00:12:03But there's another
00:12:03side of me
00:12:04where I feel like
00:12:04I want to protect
00:12:06my wife.
00:12:06I don't want to feel
00:12:07unstable, upset
00:12:08or, you know,
00:12:09get nervous
00:12:09or have a breakdown.
00:12:11So, you know,
00:12:11I think how's she
00:12:12going to react
00:12:13if I say these things?
00:12:14Alright.
00:12:15See you in there.
00:12:18Bye.
00:12:19Sometimes I'm like,
00:12:19well, I'm just
00:12:20not going to talk
00:12:21about it.
00:12:22I'm just in the air.
00:12:23I don't know
00:12:24what to do.
00:12:25Bye.
00:12:26Bye.
00:12:27Bye.
00:12:46Hello.
00:12:47Hi.
00:12:48How are you guys?
00:12:49Very well.
00:12:50Welcome.
00:12:51Hello, guys.
00:12:52Hi.
00:12:53Hello.
00:12:54How are you?
00:12:54Welcome.
00:12:55Hi.
00:12:58Hi.
00:13:17Hello, ladies.
00:13:18Hello.
00:13:19And Chris.
00:13:20Hi.
00:13:30Welcome everybody
00:13:31to the very final
00:13:33commitment ceremony
00:13:35of this experiment.
00:13:37Now, this is a very,
00:13:38very pivotal night
00:13:40because it is the very
00:13:42last time that you get
00:13:43to sit in front of the
00:13:44experts and to hear
00:13:46the feedback that we
00:13:48have for you.
00:13:50Now, in just a short
00:13:51time, you have one of
00:13:52the biggest decisions
00:13:53that you're going to
00:13:54have to make.
00:13:55Whether or not you can
00:13:56take this relationship
00:13:57in the experiment
00:13:59into the real world
00:14:00and make it a success.
00:14:02And as we know as experts,
00:14:04if you are not
00:14:06completely vulnerable
00:14:07with your partner
00:14:08at this stage
00:14:10of the experiment,
00:14:11then your relationship
00:14:12will crumble
00:14:14on the outside.
00:14:15It will not last.
00:14:19Now, with that being said,
00:14:21let's get our first couple up.
00:14:28Alyssa and David.
00:14:39Hello.
00:14:40Hello.
00:14:43So, how are things?
00:14:46Um, you know what?
00:14:48Last time we were on the
00:14:49couch, things were moving
00:14:52in the right direction.
00:14:53They still are.
00:14:54But we do have some
00:14:55hiccups that we're trying
00:14:57to work through at the
00:14:58moment.
00:14:58Okay.
00:14:59Um, obviously,
00:15:01I'll start by saying,
00:15:02you know,
00:15:03Alyssa is an amazing girl.
00:15:05But personally,
00:15:06I feel like
00:15:08I have, you know,
00:15:10carried a lot of the
00:15:10emotional weight
00:15:11in the relationship.
00:15:13This is just how I feel.
00:15:15What do you mean
00:15:16when you say carry
00:15:17most of the emotional weight?
00:15:19I feel like there
00:15:20has been times where
00:15:21I personally put
00:15:23my emotions aside
00:15:25just to make sure
00:15:26that there was
00:15:27just peace.
00:15:30And this is a thing
00:15:31where, like,
00:15:32I have tried to bring
00:15:33something up
00:15:33at the start of the
00:15:34relationship to Alyssa
00:15:35and I felt like she
00:15:36was not receptive to it.
00:15:39So what that ended up
00:15:40doing for me
00:15:40was making me
00:15:41be more cautious
00:15:43of bringing stuff up to her.
00:15:44Mm-hmm.
00:15:48It was more the reaction of,
00:15:50is it going to become
00:15:51an argument
00:15:51that was going to go
00:15:53out of hand?
00:15:55So what happened
00:15:56with all of that
00:15:57emotion
00:15:58as you describe it?
00:15:59if you weren't
00:16:00expressing that
00:16:00to Alyssa,
00:16:01what were you doing
00:16:02with it?
00:16:06Well,
00:16:08anything little
00:16:09that I didn't really
00:16:10care about
00:16:10didn't really affect me
00:16:11so I'd brush over it.
00:16:12But what happened
00:16:13in Homestays was
00:16:15I feel like it
00:16:16triggered me.
00:16:17Okay.
00:16:17I was saying Adelaide
00:16:18is a livable place
00:16:19but I felt like
00:16:20Alyssa was being
00:16:21a bit negative
00:16:24about the move.
00:16:25I feel like she was
00:16:26pointing out all
00:16:27of the reasons
00:16:28why it won't work
00:16:28which are all valid.
00:16:29We all know
00:16:30that there is things
00:16:31to work out
00:16:31in the real world.
00:16:33But it felt like
00:16:34for me
00:16:34she was too
00:16:35in her head about it
00:16:36that it's affecting
00:16:37me right now.
00:16:42Do you know why?
00:16:44Because I'm feeling
00:16:44very frustrated
00:16:45at this part
00:16:46of the experiment.
00:16:47This is our
00:16:48last couch session
00:16:49and I'm feeling
00:16:50like there has been
00:16:51some hold back
00:16:52and some of our
00:16:53couch sessions
00:16:54could have been
00:16:54things that we
00:16:55could be working
00:16:55through if we had
00:16:56more open conversations.
00:16:58I feel like
00:16:59he doesn't want
00:16:59to have like
00:17:00conflict
00:17:01but I feel like
00:17:02there is healthy
00:17:03conflict resolution
00:17:04otherwise my
00:17:04relationship in my eyes
00:17:05this is too good
00:17:06to be true.
00:17:08Can I just
00:17:09stay?
00:17:10I want a partner
00:17:11who can have
00:17:13a constructive
00:17:14conversation with me
00:17:15about an issue
00:17:17but a partner
00:17:17that shuts you
00:17:18down and tells you
00:17:19what they're saying
00:17:20is Bible
00:17:22it is an issue.
00:17:23actually spoken
00:17:23down on you
00:17:24in a bad way
00:17:25like I don't
00:17:25know there's
00:17:26things you've
00:17:26said you
00:17:27I don't want
00:17:28to I don't
00:17:29want to like
00:17:29well an example
00:17:30could be helpful
00:17:31for Alyssa here.
00:17:33Well she has
00:17:34you did mention
00:17:35I was a weak man
00:17:36at one point.
00:17:37She called you
00:17:38a weak man?
00:17:39Yeah.
00:17:42So that's a problem.
00:17:58Well she has
00:17:59you did mention
00:18:01I was a weak man
00:18:01at one point.
00:18:03She called you
00:18:04a weak man?
00:18:06Yeah.
00:18:08So that's a problem.
00:18:15What was the
00:18:16context around that?
00:18:18It was in one
00:18:19of our talks
00:18:20about like
00:18:20she's got assets
00:18:21she's ahead in life
00:18:23and she wants a guy
00:18:24that can match that
00:18:25in life.
00:18:26So financially weak?
00:18:27Yeah.
00:18:28How did it feel
00:18:28when she said that?
00:18:29Well I just thought
00:18:30where's this coming from?
00:18:32And the thing about me
00:18:33is like I pick
00:18:34what I want to
00:18:34like get upset about
00:18:36and I didn't.
00:18:37Maybe I should have
00:18:39combated that
00:18:39at the time.
00:18:44Alyssa what was
00:18:45going on for you?
00:18:46What did you want
00:18:46to achieve
00:18:47from saying that
00:18:48to him?
00:18:49I was getting
00:18:50frustrated because
00:18:51I'm wanting more
00:18:52from David.
00:18:53I'm wanting to see
00:18:54more from him
00:18:55and I feel like
00:18:56I want to be strong
00:18:57together as a couple.
00:18:59I think where
00:18:59I'm struggling is
00:19:00it's she wants me
00:19:01to be strong
00:19:02on her timeline
00:19:03and that's where
00:19:04it feels like
00:19:05it is your way
00:19:07or you're not happy.
00:19:10David do you feel
00:19:11like you're enough
00:19:12for Alyssa?
00:19:13I feel like
00:19:13I'm 100% enough.
00:19:17Do you think
00:19:18she thinks
00:19:19you're enough?
00:19:19I think she does
00:19:21but the questions
00:19:21that I'm getting
00:19:22are like
00:19:23they are confusing me.
00:19:24So what are these
00:19:25questions that are
00:19:26confusing you?
00:19:28Well the first thing
00:19:29is she's wondering
00:19:30like you know
00:19:31energy like
00:19:32in five years
00:19:33or whatever
00:19:33is that going to be
00:19:34enough to sustain her
00:19:35and she has said to me
00:19:36if I'm not getting
00:19:38the fix I need
00:19:39I'll go look elsewhere.
00:19:41No I didn't say that.
00:19:43She said I'm hungry
00:19:44you need to feed me
00:19:45you need to feed me
00:19:45I've taught you more
00:19:46in this relationship
00:19:47than you've taught me.
00:19:48I'm wanting to
00:19:49like open end
00:19:50to conversations
00:19:50and stuff
00:19:51I'm wanting to
00:19:52go deep
00:19:52like I'm putting
00:19:53all my cards
00:19:53on the table
00:19:54I'm very direct
00:19:55like I'll talk
00:19:56about stuff
00:19:57I need some sort
00:19:58of fuel
00:19:59like that
00:19:59it's just
00:19:59it's what I like
00:20:01but I don't know
00:20:02if our relationship
00:20:04is going to
00:20:04last in the real world
00:20:06if this is the gap
00:20:10I don't know
00:20:11if we're going to be
00:20:11a good match
00:20:12long term
00:20:12if this is the energy
00:20:13because I need to see
00:20:15David in his element
00:20:16I need to see David
00:20:17with his family
00:20:18I need to see David
00:20:18with his friends
00:20:19I need to see what he does
00:20:20like I want to have
00:20:21a family in the next few years
00:20:29and like if
00:20:29if we want to talk
00:20:30about me seeing things
00:20:31work in the real world
00:20:32what I need to see
00:20:33as well is
00:20:34if someone says
00:20:35they want to have
00:20:35open ended conversations
00:20:36that has to be it
00:20:37what's happened
00:20:38in this relationship
00:20:39if I've done a lot
00:20:40of listening
00:20:40Alyssa has done
00:20:41a lot of talking
00:20:44that's the fact
00:20:44you need to speak up
00:20:45no no no
00:20:46but like it's
00:20:47I don't
00:20:47one thing about me
00:20:48is I think
00:20:50we're both adults
00:20:50and I want to see
00:20:52that in her
00:20:52that she has the ability
00:20:53to listen
00:20:54I can't mind read
00:20:55it's not mind reading
00:20:55it's not mind reading
00:20:56oh my gosh
00:20:56I can't
00:20:57I cannot
00:20:57I know
00:20:58I can't mind read babe
00:20:59you're frustrating me
00:21:00because I can't read your mind
00:21:02when something
00:21:02when she
00:21:03when I start saying something
00:21:04that she's not getting
00:21:05I'm frustrated
00:21:06I don't want to deal
00:21:07with this anymore
00:21:07no I'm not dealing with it
00:21:08I'm just saying
00:21:09you're now talking in circles
00:21:10so I'm going to
00:21:11I'm going to pull you up there
00:21:13I mean this has been
00:21:14very enlightening
00:21:16I think
00:21:17for us to get a glimpse
00:21:18inside
00:21:19what's really
00:21:20going on
00:21:20in the relationship
00:21:22so an observation
00:21:23from
00:21:24from us here
00:21:25is that
00:21:26you've both
00:21:28made missteps
00:21:29I think
00:21:30in terms of your communication
00:21:31and what you've brought
00:21:32to the couch here
00:21:34because
00:21:35Alyssa
00:21:35you were aware
00:21:36that he was withholding
00:21:37you knew he was not
00:21:38being up front with you
00:21:40so you could have
00:21:41brought that up
00:21:41and so David
00:21:42for you
00:21:43you were choosing
00:21:44not to speak up
00:21:47you haven't arrived
00:21:48at an outcome
00:21:49no
00:21:50but you've helped us
00:21:51see
00:21:52what's going on inside
00:21:53so thank you for that
00:21:54to this point
00:21:56so now let's look forward
00:21:58because as you know
00:21:59this is the last
00:22:00commitment ceremony
00:22:01this is
00:22:02almost the end
00:22:03of the experiment
00:22:04for you two
00:22:05where to from here
00:22:14well I'm sitting here
00:22:16because I want that help
00:22:18I guess what we need
00:22:19to do is look
00:22:20beneath
00:22:21the arguments here
00:22:22because
00:22:23there's a reason
00:22:25that you have
00:22:26been
00:22:26avoiding
00:22:27bringing these issues up
00:22:29here's an opportunity
00:22:30to now say
00:22:31okay
00:22:32we're going to come
00:22:33at this as equals
00:22:34not one putting
00:22:34the other down
00:22:35not one avoiding
00:22:36and running away
00:22:37we are coming here
00:22:38together
00:22:39to have this
00:22:40open
00:22:40honest
00:22:41mature conversation
00:22:42about what you both want

00:22:45because otherwise
00:22:46the last
00:22:47couple of months
00:22:48has been a waste of time
00:22:50you've got that opportunity
00:22:52now
00:22:52it's not too late
00:22:55can you do that
00:22:57yeah
00:23:06I do believe
00:23:10that the things
00:23:11we have gone through
00:23:12are significant
00:23:13and I believe
00:23:14that there are
00:23:15genuine feelings here
00:23:16I do feel
00:23:17strong feelings
00:23:18towards Alyssa

00:26:15a big success for me

00:26:24for me
00:26:25Rachel is fantastic

00:26:28and
00:26:29she went out on the boat
00:26:30and she enjoyed herself
00:26:31a smile ear to ear
00:26:33and we had lots of banter
00:26:34laughing
00:26:35it was a really super sweet time
00:26:37but it's not that she's in the fishing
00:26:40it's the independence

00:27:31this is a very significant moment for you
00:27:33yeah
00:27:34um
00:27:35I think I shared with you John
00:27:36before I came in here
00:27:38the last time
00:27:40someone told me that they loved me
00:27:41the very next day
00:27:43they told me
00:27:44they don't remember saying it
00:27:47um
00:27:48that was after seven years
00:27:50of a
00:27:51a toxic situation
00:27:53shit
00:27:53and so
00:27:54um
00:27:56it's
00:27:57it's a hard thing
00:27:58my barriers go up
00:28:01and so
00:28:03having
00:28:03this journey
00:28:04with Stephen
00:28:05and knowing
00:28:06you know
00:28:07how he feels about vulnerability
00:28:09and when he says something
00:28:10he means it
00:28:11so
00:28:12for him to be sitting here
00:28:14and saying that to me
00:28:15it
00:28:16yeah
00:28:17bam
00:28:17right in the feels
00:28:18in a really beautiful way
00:28:19because I'm like
00:28:20yeah
00:28:22I believe him
00:28:25and
00:28:25I
00:28:26don't think that I thought
00:28:27that I would believe
00:28:29a man again
00:28:30in that way
00:28:31thank you
00:28:32you're welcome
00:28:35and you know what
00:28:36he said that
00:28:37holding your hand
00:28:38sitting next to you
00:28:39yeah
00:28:39and
00:28:40showing you
00:28:41his family
00:28:42yeah
00:28:43all the things
00:28:44that signal
00:28:45yep
00:28:46he's not going anywhere
00:28:47yeah
00:28:49it's different
00:28:50it is very different
00:28:52is it scary
00:28:53it's
00:28:54petrifying
00:28:58what are you scared of
00:28:59the most
00:29:02I'm scared that Stephen
00:29:03will go back to his life
00:29:04in Sydney
00:29:06and it's just going to be
00:29:08easier for him to let me go
00:29:11because he is time poor
00:29:12and he has his business
00:29:14and so
00:29:15it might be a burden
00:29:18to try and maintain
00:29:19our relationship with me
00:29:22so he might just let me go
00:29:25so
00:29:26yeah
00:29:28that's
00:29:29that's my fear
00:29:31I feel like I'm hurt
00:29:33well how does that land for you
00:29:35Stephen
00:29:35when you hear her say that
00:29:37um
00:29:37yeah it makes me feel helpless
00:29:39at times
00:29:40and I just don't know what to say
00:29:42because I
00:29:42when I see Rachel in these
00:29:44states
00:29:45the first thing I want to do
00:29:46is try and comfort her
00:29:47and try to fix the situation
00:29:49or reassure
00:29:50at least
00:29:50at least take the edge off
00:29:52a bit
00:29:54so if you don't have to fix it
00:29:55and you just sit with it
00:29:56and validate it
00:29:57can you do that
00:29:58I can do that
00:29:59I can't say I'm
00:30:01happy with that
00:30:02but I mean
00:30:02it's
00:30:03it is what it is
00:30:04makes you feel a bit uncomfortable
00:30:05it does
00:30:06yeah
00:30:06good
00:30:06it does
00:30:07good
00:30:07it does
00:30:08um
00:30:08and the only thing I can say to her
00:30:10is is that the only thing
00:30:11that I feel like that's going to fix this
00:30:12is actually
00:30:13go out there in the real world
00:30:14and put it into practice
00:30:15and
00:30:16yeah
00:30:17prove it wrong pretty much
00:30:19why haven't you changed
00:30:20you know
00:30:22all the both of you
00:30:23sitting in front of us today
00:30:25this was all
00:30:25all done at homestays
00:30:27it was amazing what homestays did for us
00:30:29we love it
00:30:30we love it
00:30:31all right
00:30:32let's go to the decision
00:30:33let's start with you first
00:30:35Steven
00:30:36there was a big question mark with me
00:30:38before homestays
00:30:39I'm like
00:30:40this could make or break us
00:30:41but
00:30:42it's just only brought
00:30:43me closer to Rachel
00:30:46so I'm going to
00:30:47yeah stay
00:30:48beautiful
00:30:49brilliant
00:30:51and what about you Rachel
00:30:52what do you got
00:30:53stay or leave
00:30:54I know this is going to shock everyone
00:30:57but I wrote stay
00:30:58and that's us on a boat fishing
00:31:03beautiful
00:31:05we have loved watching you
00:31:07through this experiment
00:31:08you've had some difficult moments
00:31:10along the way
00:31:11but you've grown
00:31:13you know
00:31:14and the way in which you're together now
00:31:16really
00:31:17it's on display
00:31:19everyone sees it
00:31:20you're a unified couple
00:31:22it's fantastic
00:31:23what I would say to you

00:31:29you need to be
00:31:31enjoying
00:31:33this final week
00:31:34rather than
00:31:36thinking too far ahead
00:31:37because that's something that
00:31:39I think in the past
00:31:40you've been a bit guilty of doing
00:31:43and on that
00:31:44you can go back to your group
00:32:00you make me cry
00:32:02you're welcome
00:32:03yeah
00:32:16let's get our next couple
00:32:18up on the couch
00:32:21Bec and Danny

00:32:26hello
00:32:27how are you
00:32:28good home
00:32:29very well
00:32:30good good
00:32:32homestays
00:32:32let's start with you
00:32:33Bec
00:32:34what were they like
00:32:35they were great
00:32:37I was in my own
00:32:38estate
00:32:39I was in my own home
00:32:40with my dog
00:32:42we saw my family
00:32:43at my auntie's beach house
00:32:45and that was great
00:32:48dad and Daniel
00:32:49get along really well
00:32:49which is great
00:32:51so good start
00:32:52great start
00:32:56what else happened
00:32:57at the home stay
00:32:59we met
00:33:00Bec's friends
00:33:01that went pretty good
00:33:02didn't it
00:33:02like just like the tough
00:33:03questions
00:33:04and then
00:33:05that night
00:33:06we went back
00:33:07to Bec's
00:33:08and we were sitting
00:33:09around like having a
00:33:11having a fire
00:33:13and then
00:33:13I cracked a joke
00:33:16like about her cousin
00:33:17fancying me
00:33:20and it landed poorly
00:33:25what did he say
00:33:25what did he say with the joke
00:33:26can you just tell us
00:33:28we were having a bit
00:33:29of an emotional moment
00:33:30with one another
00:33:31talking about our feelings
00:33:32and how it's been
00:33:33on homestays
00:33:34and Daniel said
00:33:35if all else fails
00:33:36at least Daniel fancies me
00:33:38type thing
00:33:42and I lost it
00:33:46and why
00:33:48because
00:33:49it makes me feel like
00:33:51when we're having
00:33:52this conversation
00:33:53that means so much
00:33:54to me
00:33:55that it diminishes it
00:33:56and it makes it a joke
00:34:00I get it
00:34:00I shouldn't have said it
00:34:02but I feel like
00:34:02our fight styles
00:34:03don't really match
00:34:04too well
00:34:07what scared me was
00:34:08we couldn't rectify it
00:34:09too quickly
00:34:11and where I'm sort of
00:34:12holding back
00:34:13a little bit
00:34:14is
00:34:15I don't
00:34:16I wouldn't want to move
00:34:17and then we have
00:34:18an argument like that
00:34:19and I feel really
00:34:20isolated and alone
00:34:21I don't want to do that
00:34:22so
00:34:23arguing is something
00:34:24that scares you
00:34:25when it comes to big
00:34:26why
00:34:28I think for both of us
00:34:29it just doesn't work
00:34:34wow
00:34:34okay
00:34:35what am I saying wrong
00:34:37just to
00:34:38use the words
00:34:39for both of us
00:34:40it doesn't work
00:34:44I'm not saying
00:34:45we don't work
00:34:46I'm saying
00:34:46our fight style
00:34:47doesn't work
00:34:48oh yeah
00:34:48no okay
00:34:50so this is what
00:34:52happens sometimes
00:34:52I try and say something
00:34:53and Bec takes it
00:34:55in completely
00:34:55the wrong way
00:34:58Bec what's going on
00:34:59inside of you right now
00:35:01um I suppose
00:35:02I'm fearful
00:35:03because I've
00:35:04let every wall down
00:35:06so what happens to you
00:35:07when he says that
00:35:09just
00:35:10kills my soul
00:35:11a little bit
00:35:12to be honest with you
00:35:17because I'm like
00:35:17well
00:35:19why haven't you
00:35:20said this to me
00:35:22because
00:35:22because I've been
00:35:23fearful to say it
00:35:24because I don't
00:35:25want to upset you
00:35:28no no no
00:35:29do not blame me
00:35:30I'm not blaming you
00:35:31don't say
00:35:32you're fearful
00:35:33to tell me
00:35:33because you're
00:35:34going to upset me
00:35:35I'm here
00:35:36in love with you
00:35:38we're at the end
00:35:39of this experiment
00:35:42you're making it seem
00:35:43like I've been
00:35:44holding on to this
00:35:45for six months
00:35:45honestly
00:35:46I noticed it
00:35:47in Adelaide
00:35:47when I felt isolated
00:35:48up until then
00:35:49I haven't noticed it
00:35:54Bec I look at your face
00:35:56you seem very concerned
00:36:03I think he's got more
00:36:04reservations than he lets
00:36:05on
00:36:05oh really
00:36:06I do yeah
00:36:07I do
00:36:09I do
00:36:09I do
00:36:16Danny Danny
00:36:16look at me
00:36:18there really is no time
00:36:20for you to make light
00:36:20of the situation
00:36:22because when you add
00:36:24things up Danny
00:36:25it's not making her
00:36:27feel secure
00:36:27you know you haven't
00:36:28said your feelings
00:36:29back to her
00:36:30you've gone to the
00:36:31family and they've
00:36:33validated you
00:36:34and then you're not
00:36:35bringing up issues
00:36:36because you're afraid
00:36:37of the fight style
00:36:38it starts to add up
00:36:41and it makes her
00:36:42feel what
00:36:44Bec
00:36:48like he's just
00:36:49not that into me
00:36:55so that's a problem
00:36:57because this far
00:36:58into the experiment
00:36:59you don't want your
00:37:00partner to be thinking
00:37:03he's just not that
00:37:04into me
00:37:07yeah but I am
00:37:09I've told you that
00:37:11I am
00:37:11you know I am
00:37:14so why is she not
00:37:15believing it
00:37:17I don't know
00:37:19I can't speak for Bec
00:37:22I'm asking
00:37:24for you
00:37:25to sit there
00:37:27and say to me
00:37:28Bec this is how
00:37:29I feel about you
00:37:30just once
00:37:34you know how
00:37:34I fear the Bec
00:37:35you know I care
00:37:36about you so much
00:37:37I do know you care
00:37:38about me but
00:37:39where is the passion
00:37:42I see tiny glimpses
00:37:44of it
00:37:45but
00:37:46I feel like
00:37:47you are holding back
00:37:49you said to me
00:37:50once at the beginning
00:37:51of this experiment
00:37:52and I'll never forget it
00:37:53and it's probably
00:37:54ruined me
00:37:57Daniel's like
00:37:57well
00:37:58when you are
00:37:59obsessed with each other
00:38:00you're all over each other
00:38:01and I don't have that
00:38:03I just don't get it
00:38:04from him at all
00:38:06he doesn't want to
00:38:06hold my hand
00:38:07walking down the street
00:38:07that's not your style
00:38:08no worries
00:38:09whenever we have a kiss
00:38:10I'm the one going to kiss you
00:38:12you never ever ever
00:38:13go to kiss me
00:38:14you don't compliment me
00:38:15hardly ever
00:38:18so for me
00:38:19so for me it's like
00:38:20well
00:38:20I'm this fool
00:38:21that's allowed my heart
00:38:22to get to this point
00:38:23and he's not there
00:38:25and he's not going to feel
00:38:25that way
00:38:29I don't think
00:38:30that's a fair
00:38:31assumption
00:38:38the thing that's important
00:38:39here Danny
00:38:40is that she's just
00:38:41told you
00:38:42in a very
00:38:43clear cut way
00:38:44why
00:38:45she doesn't
00:38:46feel
00:38:47like you're interested
00:38:52your reaction is
00:38:53well that's not fair
00:38:54no but like
00:38:56yes
00:38:56that's exactly
00:38:57what we just heard
00:39:01even like
00:39:02all of the husbands
00:39:03walk past us
00:39:04sitting at the
00:39:04commitment ceremony
00:39:05and they all
00:39:05acknowledge their wives
00:39:06and you never do
00:39:07you ignore me
00:39:11and I don't know
00:39:13how I've gotten
00:39:13to this point
00:39:14of these feelings
00:39:15with that
00:39:19I'm so worried
00:39:24I'm actually so worried
00:39:30I just don't feel
00:39:31like you have
00:39:32any desire
00:39:33and I just
00:39:34yeah I'm just nervous

00:41:38me to be
00:41:41I've had
00:41:42my guard
00:41:42up essentially
00:41:43that's
00:41:43that's what
00:41:44yeah
00:41:52when she
00:41:53lays this
00:41:54out on
00:41:54the table
00:41:55no compliments
00:41:57very few
00:41:59lack of
00:42:00intimacy
00:42:00not making
00:42:02her a priority
00:42:02not saying

00:42:07what do you
00:42:08think that
00:42:08does to her
00:42:12yeah
00:42:12it would
00:42:13destroy her
00:42:15what do you
00:42:16think it does
00:42:16to the
00:42:16relationship
00:42:18destroys the
00:42:18relationship
00:42:19as well
00:42:21why
00:42:23because you
00:42:24can't have
00:42:24you can't build
00:42:25a relationship
00:42:25on like sand
00:42:27foundations
00:42:28do you know
00:42:28what you mean
00:42:29so help us
00:42:30understand why
00:42:31you're not
00:42:32doing these
00:42:33things
00:42:33to bring
00:42:34her close
00:42:39just
00:42:41obviously
00:42:41we've talked
00:42:42about the
00:42:42five star
00:42:43that's the
00:42:43bit where
00:42:43I've been
00:42:44holding back
00:42:47but I guess
00:42:48after my last
00:42:49relationship
00:42:49I haven't felt
00:42:50this strongly
00:42:51towards a woman
00:42:52or been this
00:42:53close with a
00:42:53woman in years
00:42:56but of course
00:42:57I still have a
00:42:58bit of a
00:42:58guard up
00:42:59because last
00:43:00time when it
00:43:01didn't work out
00:43:02it destroyed my
00:43:03life
00:43:05how nice
00:43:06would it be
00:43:06to have heard
00:43:06that
00:43:07you just did
00:43:08I know
00:43:09but why do I
00:43:10have to go to
00:43:10this length
00:43:11to hear that
00:43:12because I'm not
00:43:12no good at
00:43:12this shit
00:43:14well I've been
00:43:15begging you for
00:43:16this level of
00:43:17openness
00:43:18for nearly
00:43:19three months
00:43:20and so hearing
00:43:21that
00:43:22makes me feel
00:43:23like
00:43:25there's hope
00:43:26you know
00:43:32why does that
00:43:32make you feel
00:43:33hopeful
00:43:33because if he
00:43:34hasn't felt
00:43:35like this in
00:43:35years
00:43:36then
00:43:37that means
00:43:38that
00:43:40it's
00:43:41real
00:43:43and
00:43:43you might be
00:43:44into me
00:43:45but you need
00:43:46to open
00:43:47yourself to me
00:43:48yeah I guess
00:43:49like this has
00:43:49been a problem
00:43:50in the past
00:43:51that I am
00:43:52just a shit

00:58:50hello
00:58:50how are we
00:58:51good hi Gia
00:58:52hello
00:58:56so how are you guys
00:58:58all right
00:58:59um
00:59:01get a bit nervous
00:59:14so you know
00:59:18I care so much
00:59:19about Gia
00:59:21what I'm going to
00:59:21talk about tonight
00:59:22is I don't want
00:59:23you to be upset
00:59:24okay
00:59:25what I'm going to
00:59:26talk about is
00:59:27feelings
00:59:27where
00:59:30I
00:59:30take a breath
00:59:31for a minute
00:59:33three
00:59:42so I think
00:59:43for me to leave
00:59:44escorting the dream
00:59:45would be
00:59:46probably to go
00:59:46into modelling
00:59:49so you keep
00:59:49saying that you
00:59:50want to be a
00:59:50model but what
00:59:51are you actually
00:59:52doing
00:59:53to make that
00:59:54happen
00:59:55I don't really
00:59:56know
00:59:56I think I need
00:59:58to make a
00:59:58portfolio
00:59:59I think that's
01:00:00the first step
01:00:00in being a
01:00:00model
01:00:00make a portfolio
01:00:02and then you
01:00:02just fire it
01:00:03at people
01:00:04and hope
01:00:04that they
01:00:05like you
01:00:05trying to
01:00:06advance onto
01:00:07this world
01:00:07of modelling
01:00:07right
01:00:08made up
01:00:09so no
01:00:09progress
01:00:09right
01:00:10what am I
01:00:11doing wrong
01:00:11do you think
01:00:12it's tattoos
01:00:13probably
01:00:18I think
01:00:24whatever's a
01:00:25play
01:00:25you have to
01:00:25stop
01:00:28it's a
01:00:28fucking
01:00:29nightmare
01:00:29I think
01:00:30it's just
01:00:30the way
01:00:30we're
01:00:30marketing
01:00:30it
01:00:31I think
01:00:31we lean
01:00:32into it
01:00:32heavily
01:00:33with the
01:00:33look of
01:00:34the suit
01:00:34where it
01:00:34covers up
01:00:35the tattoos
01:00:35but still
01:00:36shows a
01:00:37tiny bit
01:00:37so there's
01:00:38a bit
01:00:38of mystery
01:00:38there
01:00:38not even
01:00:39having an
01:00:39exceptions
01:00:40email
01:00:40like thanks
01:00:41for your
01:00:41application
01:00:42like nothing
01:00:42I don't know
01:00:43if it's tattoos
01:00:44probably
01:00:45don't think
01:00:46that you're
01:00:47screwed
01:00:47we can't hide
01:00:48they can't hide
01:00:49the tattoos
01:00:49we're not gonna
01:00:49hide it
01:00:50we're just gonna
01:00:51show it in a way
01:00:52that it's versatile
01:00:52I think that's the
01:00:53main thing
01:00:54we lean really heavily
01:00:55into the tattoos
01:00:57but in a casual
01:00:58way to show
01:00:59hey
01:00:59I know I've got
01:01:00lots of tattoos
01:01:01but I can also
01:01:02look really good
01:01:03in casual wear
01:01:04if I thought you had
01:01:05no hope
01:01:05I wouldn't be
01:01:05wasting my time
01:01:06coming here
01:01:06to take photos
01:01:08wasting your time
01:01:09the world needs
01:01:10to sort of
01:01:10change the way
01:01:11that people
01:01:12look at tattoos
01:01:13there's this huge
01:01:13prejudice against
01:01:14people who tattoo
01:01:14hopefully today
01:01:15what we can do
01:01:16is we can sort of
01:01:16show that yes
01:01:17this guy's heavily
01:01:17tattooed
01:01:18but he's actually
01:01:19a normal human
01:01:20being and not
01:01:20a criminal
01:01:23here he is
01:01:25hey
01:01:25took him time
01:01:35what I'm gonna
01:01:36talk about

01:01:37I don't want
01:01:37you to be
01:01:38upset
01:01:40what I'm gonna
01:01:40talk about
01:01:41is feelings
01:01:42where
01:01:44I
01:01:44take a breath
01:01:45for a minute
01:01:47breathe
01:01:54it's a weakness
01:01:54of mine
01:01:57when I care
01:01:57about someone
01:01:58so much
01:01:58I feel like

01:02:02concern
01:02:03it's a weakness
01:02:04of mine

01:02:07I haven't been
01:02:09able to address
01:02:09a concern
01:02:10without Gia

01:02:18for whatever
01:02:18reason
01:02:20you find
01:02:21yourself
01:02:21simply
01:02:22cowering
01:02:22away from

01:03:56you talk
01:03:57about
01:03:57things
01:03:58in a way
01:03:59where
01:03:59you don't
01:04:00give us
01:04:00any
01:04:01of the
01:04:01information
01:04:02you skirt
01:04:03around the
01:04:03issues
01:04:04I get it
01:04:05you're trying
01:04:06to fly
01:04:07under the
01:04:07radar
01:04:08but what
01:04:08we're saying
01:04:08tonight
01:04:09is that
01:04:09ends
01:04:10yeah
01:04:10okay
01:04:12you sat
01:04:13down here
01:04:13you're
01:04:14petrified
01:04:14of Gia
01:04:15and you're
01:04:16not answering
01:04:17the questions
01:04:22so I'm

01:04:23Scott
01:04:24what kind
01:04:25of things
01:04:26could Gia
01:04:27say that
01:04:27would make
01:04:28you feel
01:04:29fearful
01:04:29of speaking
01:04:30up
01:04:31so this
01:04:32is probably
01:04:32the most
01:04:33magic concern
01:04:35it could
01:04:35happen
01:04:35probably on
01:04:36average
01:04:36once a
01:04:36week
01:04:37I feel
01:04:38like there's
01:04:38a bit
01:04:38of pressure
01:04:38of me
01:04:39to say

01:04:40say it
01:04:42Gia will
01:04:42tend to
01:04:43spoil

01:06:21so
01:06:21for
01:06:22me
01:06:22um
01:06:24I
01:06:24felt
01:06:25this
01:06:25way
01:06:25for
01:06:26Scott
01:06:26for the
01:06:26last
01:06:27few
01:06:27weeks
01:06:28and
01:06:28there's
01:06:29been
01:06:29so many
01:06:30moments
01:06:30where
01:06:31like
01:06:31I've
01:06:32wanted
01:06:32to say
01:06:32it
01:06:33and I'm
01:06:33like
01:06:33you
01:06:33can't be
01:06:33the girl
01:06:34who says
01:06:34it first
01:06:35usually
01:06:35it's been
01:06:36the guy
01:06:36who said it
01:06:37first
01:06:37so this is
01:06:37weird for me
01:06:38and I wanted him to know
01:06:40why I've been
01:06:40spiraling
01:06:41it's because of this
01:06:42like I've been wanting to say it
01:06:44and I know he's not there
01:06:44and it's frustrating for me
01:06:45because I feel rejected
01:06:46to be honest
01:06:48the leading up to where you're having these big feelings
01:06:51and that's what's making you feel like oh my god he's gonna reject me
01:06:54why go hurt him
01:06:57because I felt hurt
01:06:59and I was like let me hurt him
01:07:02that's the truth
01:07:07that's a pretty big revelation
01:07:10and also a hurdle for Scott to have to handle
01:07:14and walk around eggshells trying to not have you have this reaction
01:07:20I just think this is very new for me
01:07:22I haven't ever been in this situation before
01:07:24but in this situation of saying that you're hurt
01:07:27and therefore you're choosing to hurt back
01:07:29is that the way that you normally are?
01:07:37I'm gonna insist and underline this
01:07:39because I really want you to take in Gia
01:07:43that we can absolutely see how strong your relationship with Scott is
01:07:47but it is a pattern that you're bringing to the table
01:07:50that you need to break
01:07:51because it will be the thing that makes him run the other way
01:08:08the leading up to where you're having these big feelings
01:08:11and that's what's making you feel like oh my god he's gonna reject me
01:08:15why go hurt him
01:08:17because I felt hurt
01:08:20and I was like let me hurt him
01:08:23that's the truth
01:08:26I'm gonna insist and underline this
01:08:29because I really want you to take in Gia
01:08:32it is a pattern that you're bringing to the table
01:08:35that you need to break
01:08:36because it will be the thing that makes him run the other way
01:08:46do you feel secure in your relationship with Scott?
01:08:52um
01:08:56like yes and no
01:08:59why no?
01:09:03I don't know because
01:09:04like sometimes I can't bring something up
01:09:06because I'm argumentative
01:09:08or so I don't feel like I'm secure with him
01:09:11and I can be myself
01:09:12so that and
01:09:13like he doesn't feel as strong as I feel
01:09:16like well he could just leave
01:09:19am I gonna move for like?
01:09:21am I gonna take my daughter out of her school in Melbourne
01:09:23and move to the Gold Coast if he just likes me?
01:09:27just don't feel as secure as maybe I could
01:09:30in the relationship
01:09:33so there's still room there for you to grow
01:09:35in terms of security in the relationship
01:09:39how does it make you feel to hear
01:09:42Gia say that she doesn't feel secure in the relationship?
01:09:47I'm confused because Gia tells me that she feels secure
01:09:51I try and tickle the boxes to make her know
01:09:55and reassure her that I'm all in on this
01:09:57and like when we have tough times
01:09:59like I just keep telling you
01:10:00I'm here for you
01:10:01I want you to be the shoulder to cry on
01:10:02and like you know
01:10:03whenever there is bad things
01:10:05maybe sometimes I say
01:10:06oh like I don't want to hear it
01:10:08or something like that
01:10:08but you know
01:10:09well that's why I don't feel secure
01:10:13because I'm like
01:10:14well I can't bring that up
01:10:16so like how do I
01:10:17how can I be vulnerable and feel safe
01:10:19because it's swept under the rug
01:10:21you know
01:10:22you shut down my feelings a lot of the time
01:10:24I'm going to pretend myself
01:10:25I've never shut down your feelings Gia
01:10:27never
01:10:27okay well
01:10:28that's my perception
01:10:29and I feel like sometimes
01:10:30we'll talk about something
01:10:32and you just don't listen
01:10:33and so then I just stop talking about it
01:10:36because he says I'm arguing
01:10:37and I'm like
01:10:38okay well I just like
01:10:38I'll just forget my feelings
01:10:40let's just leave it
01:10:41because then my brain is like
01:10:43oh my god
01:10:44you're arguing again
01:10:45he's not going to fall in love with you
01:10:46and it's like
01:10:48it's like I can't win
01:10:49to be honest
01:10:50that's how I feel
01:10:56well at last
01:10:58we've got the real
01:10:59Scott and Gia sitting in front of us
01:11:01and isn't it interesting
01:11:04that week after week

01:11:16and everything isn't great
01:11:17between the two of you
01:11:20Scott nearly couldn't breathe tonight
01:11:22because he was so scared
01:11:24about bringing an issue up with you Gia

01:11:30so it comes down to the two of you
01:11:33are you prepared to do the work
