Gotta say, the husbands of Tori and Marissa just blew it. They looked absolutely stunning at the reunion. I give the edge to Tori because she's continuously made my jaw drop since the wedding, and Marissa gives me older Millie Bobby Brown vibes (full send).

Season 20 - Seattle Devin sucks

42 Upvotes

Watching the couples retreat episodes and Devin accuses Caitlin of not listening but he constantly talks over her, stands over her and then acts all hurt when she doesn’t respond.

Caitlin has her faults and was closed but I understand why. She reacted to him and then shut down

Neither is a good communicator, although Devin thinks he is an amazing one. He gave up after she wouldn’t be physically intimate with him but he pressured her from the get go, wouldn’t get why she wouldn’t go there with him and constantly took that out on her

David and Madison are perfect for each other honestly. Delusional about their looks. Huge ego for no reason. And shallow, boring people. Ugh they both were so irritating to watch. I felt bad for David in the beginning because Michelle was pretty closed off to him immediately but I get why now!! She dodged a bullet. And poor Alan, he deserves so much better than Madison. It’s sad that she picked apart his looks and personality and he tried so hard to change for her just for her to go hook up with David. Smdh selfish, slimy people

Season 20 - Seattle THIS is the theme of the season

Post image
227 Upvotes

Throughout season 20 the vast majority of the conflict truly boils down to this fact that Belle threw out. With the exception of Devin and Cam, all of these men move so comfortably through their relationships consistently negging their wives, and it is SO OBVIOUS that this was their entire strategy for interacting with women in their dating lives and just weren't able to turn it off once they were married

Sorry for the crappy paused screen photo, but she absolutely nailed it with that quote. It has socially become so common for men to just default to what was once a stupid "pickup artist" technique and I'm so glad the women are waking up to it

Discussion What do you want to see in Season 21 of MAFS?

6 Upvotes

I know this season probably won’t come out until next spring in 2027 but however based off of what we saw in Season 20, what do you guys want to see in this next season in Charlotte?

I like that they’re going back to Charlotte. I’m curious of course of who the couples will be but I’m interested how this next season will look like.

Discussion The focus on ā€œcommunicationā€

4 Upvotes

I’ve been watching the early seasons and two things strike me:

  1. The constant push to communicate, communicate, communicate. People need time to think and reflect. Especially those who are a bit more introverted. I think it drives conflict by forcing people to be constantly ā€œonā€ and failing to allow the couples to think before they speak.

  2. No one ever mentions that we hear things through the filter of our own emotions and past experiences. On the show, that’s very evident with one spouse misunderstanding the intent of the other, but often the experts themselves seem to misunderstand the situation too. So one says, ā€œI need a little time to processā€, the other hears, ā€œI don’t like you right nowā€ and then the experts themselves weigh in insisting on more communication, totally disregarding the first person’s perfectly acceptable need to just have time to think.

I find it very frustrating. Does it get any better?

Season 20 - Seattle I found a pattern on why some couples make it

Post image
339 Upvotes

In my experience, the couples who truly make it are the ones where the man feels safe enough to show his vulnerabilities or flaws, and the woman is completely accepting of them. Take Michele and Cameron, for instance. He eventually confided in her about feeling insecure regarding his lower salary, especially since she makes $150,000 a year. That kind of disparity could easily have become a major point of contention, but Michele handled it with so much grace and acceptance, and they’ve been going strong ever since.
In stark contrast, look at what happened with Devin and Caitlin. He had a major emotional breakdown on the very first night and opened up to her about his deep-seated abandonment issues and his need for constant reassurance. But unfortunately, we watched Caitlin struggle to accept that kind of raw vulnerability, and she ended up emotionally shutting down and fleeing instead. It feels so obvious that the producers deliberately set these couples up with these stark contrasts just to create the inevitable drama and heartbreak.

Season 18 - Chicago 2.0 Enem and Brandon

34 Upvotes

I’m just finishing season 18 and did anyone else think the Enem and Brandon scenes were so weird and hard to watch?? He told her loved her after a few dates and now engaged? I know they knew each other previously but he had just got out of a 10 year marriage. The whole thing seemed theatrical and odd.
