The way he was acting toward her in the previews for next week is not a good look for him. It's fine to be scared or concerned about her behavior and what it says about her but he doesn't have to react that way. To criticize him for that and wonder how much scary he is hiding in there is not blaming the victim. I have felt from early on that there's something not all that nice about Miguel and maybe we're going to start seeing it.
Thank you, I totally agree. He calls her negative but I have yet to see anything positive come out of his mouth. She is a ray of sunshine compared to his attitude. And yes, that makes him a hypocrite. He's the pot calling the kettle black. He should look in a mirror. WTF was that all about with a "loveless marriage"? Is he borrowing trouble that doesn't exist or is he priming her for not being in love with her? Whatever it is, it was a stupid thing to say and I fail to see the point in it. Meanwhile he calls her "negative". If what he said wasn't negative I don't know what is. And BTW, that's another thing I find a little "scary" about him.
Good points.
It just seems like she constantly talks about having this other side to her that's crazy. If i had someone constantly telling me oh you haven't seen me at 10...I would be pretty concerned. It seems like she's either power tripping on it, proud of it, or it's so insane she's trying to ease him into it so he's not surprised.
Miguel might be an awful person but I find Lindy to be very passive aggressive and disingenuous. And I think she's got some major issues.

I think Lindy is her own worst enemy. She reminds me of a friend I have that used to always say things to people that didn't know him too well that made him look like a total wacko when I knew he wasn't. Lindy has gone on and on about how he hasn't seen her at #10 angry and then backpedaled in front of the experts that she only got that bad twice in her life. She is a self-saboteur. And that in and of itself is a little scary.
But judging from the previews and how I've felt in general about him, I think Miguel is a little scary too. Lindy wants to come off as this loose cannon that might go off at any minute which is just the thing that scares him the most. So now his true self is coming out more too as he anticipates the worst from her and moves away slowly. And I'm not loving that either. The two of them are afraid of each other and sabotaging the relationship by creating a self fulfilling prophecy about themselves. It's hard to watch.
How on earth is this Miguel being scared about her being unstable something to knock him for?
If Miguel kept telling Lindy about going to 10 angry and that he's never seen this, would we be blaming the potential victim of a loose cannon?
He's got every right to be concerned about how bad she could possibly get especially when he's seen the instability, but not yet the this one goes to 10 instability.

She only lied about finishing her degree on her application for the show, and IIRC she supposedly only had a few credits left to complete it. She didn't lie about being a nurse, but Binh revealed to Justin that he thought her lie about her degree meant that she wasn't really a nurse. In the scheme of things I think spreading the misinformation about her professional standing, even if just to Justin is a little worse than engaging in a little white lie on the show application that would not have impacted much or matter in terms of her eligibility for the show and wouldn't have been known about by anyone but her and Binh if Binh didn't reveal it to Justin after he was told it in confidence and Alexis didn't reveal it to the show after finding out from Justin. The show didn't have to make any of this public which is the leg she would have to stand on about this. They are just as bad or worse than Binh, Justin and especially Alexis in doing so. Although I can't really blame Binh for trusting Justin or Justin for trusting Alexis with the story as husbands and wives should be able to tell each other things in confidence and not have them blabbed to anyone else. So really it's the show that bears the most responsibility for any potential damage to her professional image.
Clearly whatever the discussion was initially led Binh to think she was indeed lying. He was confused on what, but the initial lie was all on Morgan.
But let's go back several episodes: She floated the theory that Binh lied about having COVID to get out of the wedding. Before she ever met him.
You don't make a leap like that unless you're paranoid. Likely paranoid because she knows she's capable of lying during this process because she herself lied on the application.
To me, that's very telling about who she actually is.
She lied, she knew it was wrong , she confessed to Binh. And yet despite that, she took zero responsibility for her own lie while chastising Binh.
I doubt Binh ever would've made the leap that she wasn't a "real" (as in degreed nurse) if it wasn't for her telling the deep dark secret which of course is being touted as just a technicality.
She's got no leg to stand on.

Binh is a class act, though I think he is still taking on way too much of the blame for the end of the relationship. I don't think that anyone can meet Morgan's vague standards for trust. She's going to have a lonely life if she doesn't figure her shit out.
That's because Morgan has probably been on the hot seat for years about her own mistruths -- she lies so she can't trust anyone else. I'm sure she calls all her lies "technicalities."

As cute as she is (personally I find her irritating so she isn't even cute to me anymore), Lindy strikes me as inauthentic and mentally ill. There is a lot of stuff under the surface.

I have managed to ignore that part of her conversation. Probably because I’m so floored by her constant use of the ‘F’ word. I’m not sure that she can get more than a couple sentences out without it. My opinion is that she thinks it makes her more independent of her upbringing, but it just adds to her immaturity to me.
We’ve seen Miguel cooking for them several times now. In addition, he seemed to be doing more of the Migindy care. Have we seen her do anything in terms of any household chore?
I've moved on from my intense irritation of her because Morgan and Alexis. But I think Lindy's whole cutesy little girl act just that -- an act. She's probably had men think she was the cutest thing ever with her baby girl act, but in reality she's quite passive aggressive. Miguel seems smitten now but I'd bet they don't make it after saying "yes" on D day.

Yes. Morgan admitted to lying to production several episodes ago, while they were on their honeymoon. She said that she told production that she had graduated when in fact she had one more class to complete. (If I’m not mistaken, I believe they were on the beach when she said all of this). Plus, she asked Binh not to tell anyone yet he did, which was a big part of why she was so upset.
But Binh added to her anger about the situation because not only did he tell Justin her secret about not having her diploma yet but he also misunderstood and thought that by not having her bachelors degree, that she wasn’t actually a legit nurse. So in short, yes…Morgan did admit to lying AND Binh did admit to misunderstanding and admitted to talking to Justin about all of it.
Morgan needs to take a hard look at herself.
- No one has to keep a secret in which you lied. This one might not been a whopper of one, it might have been a technicality. But she clearly knew it was wrong which is why she confessed it as some deep dark secret to Binh.
- She's clearly capable of lying about other things.
- She's very paranoid about lying to the point where before she even knew Binh's name, she already had it in her head he was lying about having COVID. That's not a normal reaction and to me very telling -- she's quite clearly capable of pulling a stunt like that, probably has, so she knows other people are as well.
Binh was wrong, clearly misunderstood that she could be a nurse w/o a bachelors. I can understand her being upset that he was telling people that she wasn't really a nurse. But would he have made that leap without her deep dark secret/lie? Nope.
In my experience, the people that go on and on about being someone "lying to their face" are always the ones that do that routinely to other people.
I can understand if Binh's knee jerk reaction impugned her character (well, when it comes to her actually being a nurse) would be a sore spot. That the therapist didn't even try to understand how and why this happened and just accepted Binh's Stepford Wives type of responses of everything is his fault without prodding further disturbs me, particularly when he opened up about his own father's way of shouting at him creating triggers for him. Unless it's just editing, it bothered me that there seemed to be zero questioning of Morgan for why Binh walked away thinking SHE was the major liar.

I disagree. Sometimes sex is just fun, even with someone you love. I don't think Mitch is in love with Krysten and I think he jokes during sex because he is nervous. But I think a couple in love doesn't always have to have sex that is a big, emotional "making love" experience. It also can be silly and fun and giggly sometimes.
YES. Every now and then BF and I are super silly and make dumb jokes during sex. It makes it that much better!

Binh is a cheapskate but for a good reason; he wants to be financially independent early in life and be able to spend time with his future wife and children. Good for him; I don't really have those powers of delayed gratification but I often wish that I did. And he doesn't seem to demand that his future wife totally share his thriftiness.
I just don't like Morgan. I was fairly indifferent to her but started getting bad vibes when she automatically was suspicious that Binh faked COVID because he was getting cold feet about marrying a stranger. I think she has overblown her reaction to pretty much everything unless there is a whole lot that we haven't seen.
The fact that she even thought that to be a possibility told me that she's capable of pulling stunts to get out of things too.

On one hand I think the show is getting even with Morgan for lying about being finished with her BSN (just guessing, but something tells me there's a rule about being a student that would have disqualified her from being a cast member). But on the other, Nate did bring up her hostility, so maybe she is just a vindictive person.
Haven't there been other cast members that were going to school?
I would bet lying about her BSN is just one of many she's told all throughout her life. She can't trust anyone because she can't be trusted. No one is this paranoid unless they have a reason to be paranoid.

I literally gasped when Dave gave Tash the ultimatum that he was going to reveal their secret which of course wasn't much of a secret. And then when the word "slut" came out I had chills. This guy seems unhinged.
That said, I feel like Tash used him for sex. I don't believe for one minute that she wanted to keep their relationship a secret because OMG I cheated on my BF. I think Dave is her dirty little secret -- she has an attraction to him sexually but doesn't want others to know. Maybe it's the excitement of the secret. Maybe she doesn't think he's hot enough to be public with? I don't know but she definitely sent a shit ton of mixed messages as it seems he thought they were in a relationship.
Wasn't she basically wanting them to room together initially? Thought she basically directed him to the cabin to room with her. But then she already seemed tuned out on Dave and he was picking up on it and confused. Then after he got weird with man bun boy, and she seemed turned off again, she ends up demanding sex from him again? Then is back to ignoring him.
Not that he would've behaved any differently, but if she should've been clear about what she wanted and didn't want. And I would bet if this was a female crew member that was dealing with a guy dicking them around, we'd probably cheer him being called a fuck boy in a text.
I bet Tash, for all of her beauty, is deeply insecure and needs someone, anyone to validate her attractiveness all.the.time.

OMG watching Morgan right now stoned is both frightening and hilarious at the same time.
I think she's the worst person yet.

Anyone as paranoid as Morgan and as dramatic as Morgan about being talked about has a lot of skeletons in the past. She started off by being shady with the deep dark secret of not finishing her bachelors degree but lying about it on the application. Now she's protesting loudly about him lying to her face. She's full of shit, this one. I don't know what else she's hiding but I'm going to guess she's the one who has issues with the truth.

Mitch is a poser, all about ostentatious virtue signaling. I live in a crunchy granola enclave and I know at least a dozen of these people. Whether it's veganism, climate change, women's rights, whatever the cause is, they're all about performative activism. Does Mitch think those surfboards grow on trees? And what about that trip to Mexico on a jetfuel-burning plane that he was only too happy to take?
The cold, hard truth is that living up to every climate-virtue goal is next to impossible and function in our society.
I think the experts looked at Krysten doing yoga on a beach and Mitch surfing and decided they were a match. I agree with Mitch about the house-flipping; I live in a rapidly (crapidly, more like it) growing city where many long-time residents are being forced out by flippers and developers whose improvements are pricing them out of their neighborhoods. I would have trouble benefitting from that. The problem is that he was quick to shut her down. However, they clearly look at money differently and probably to a fatal degree.
Stacia and Nick are both very wounded people. Stacia's nagging for love is probably from a fear or sense that this will end as previous relationships have (because she can't look past her own wants) and Nick wants to take his time because he senses that the minute he utters the "L" word, she will need constant reassurance of that.
I don't hate Lindy the way some of you folks do. She's high-strong and insecure, but there's something gaslightish about how Miguel runs hot and cold. And when he goes cold, there's something in his eyes that's downright chilling.
I didn't like Binh at first, but he's growing on me. His Korean dinner was sweet, and the way he opened up to Morgan showed a desire to get past his issues. I have no idea why she's in this at all.
Maybe that's because she's high strung and insecure and it gets incredibly irritating to be around 24/7.
She's cute to look at, seems sweet (although I think she's actually extremely passive aggressive and child-like in a not good way), so I'm sure he's conflicted. But the bottom line is she's high strung and insecure and that is HARD to be around.
(Totally co-sign the Mitch comments)

Mitch is absolutely the worst and yet I'd still rather be around him than Lindy whose every word annoys the fuck out of me particularly the way she says things.

I don't recall Lindy asking that Miguel pay for her insurance. She asked him to add her to his insurance. That would mean an increase of ... say, $35 per check? I'm sure she can afford that over a $35,000 medical invoice.
Lol... Both assumptions and excuses start with, "Sorry, but I thought..."
$35? Unless he works for the government, it would likely be far more than that.
And given that she doesn't carry her own insurance, didn't care to, wasn't pressed about it until being legally married, I'm pretty confident she wasn't looking to pay the difference.

In theory, I disagree. If Lindy can meet her financial obligations and support herself working just part time, good for her! No one on his/her deathbed ever died wishing they'd spent more time at work.
Where this argument falls apart for me is that Lindy apparently isn't meeting her financial obligations. It doesn't bother me that she has student loans; a lot of people do. I don't think we know if she is paying them off at all but if she is completely defaulting on payments, that would bother me. But her not having health insurance when she is in a high enough paid job to have it, and sees daily how important it is - that's pretty financially irresponsible to me. She should have had it on her own before she married and if it made financial sense for she and Miguel to be on the same policy (through either of their employers) after they married, that's also fine but she shouldn't expect him to pay for her coverage.
Totally agree!

Sarah is so fucking annoying to me. Doesn't she realize that there are modern female Arabs before her? She's not any sort of trailblazer in keeping traditions and yet trying to break away from some.

That was my overarching response to the whole thing - that there should have been two separate discussions instead of it being a negotiation like "if you take my name, I'll add you to my health insurance."
There is almost certainly more premium but it's probably less than she would pay for an individual policy of her own. She should pay that difference. I also thought that if she had any sort of medical issue, the financial consequences would be huge. It doesn't have to even be serious or life threatening; just a trip to the ER for appendicitis or a broken bone could be very expensive. She should know better.
Having both changed my name and had myself added to my husband's health insurance, I can say reliably that it was faster and easier to get added to the insurance than it was to change my name. It's a pain in the ass to change your name, though there are services that help you do it. You have to change it in about a million places and they all have different rules and forms about how to do it. Some places you have to go in person. It's a huge headache.
Right, but as the poster above me noted, she doesn't have an objection to changing her name, just not yet.
So if it's too soon for her to change her name, but ultimately she would I suppose when she feels like their marriage is legit, why the fuck is she guilt tripping him over wanting to wait to see if the marriage is indeed legit before adding her to his insurance?
She's not an uninsured child. She's an adult that has a doctorate in her field, which is in HEALTH CARE, but would rather work part time and travel than pay for her own insurance.

Ah true.
It's ironic that she's using the "but we're married" card for insurance, but it's too soon for her to change her last name to his.

I think she chooses not to. Or she thinks it's "too expensive" though she has a degree and the ability to earn a good salary, plus travel and take time off.
And that's exactly why her pouting about it, then laying on the heavy guilt trip about her getting hit by some bus or whatever other bullshit she was spewing is ridiculous. As I said before, she clearly must be able to afford it if she can afford to work when she wants, travel when she wants but she just wants to spend her money on fun things.

I would bet that he doesn't really care all that much about the name change but knows that this is something she feels strongly about. He also knows he doesn't feel strongly about adding a stranger he just married to his insurance plan and she's going to continue to hound him. So he can hang the name change over her head as a reason why he's not adding to her to his insurance yet. I mean, she went apeshit over his comment about the 8 weeks.

Continued to be uninsured, which is not, in my opinion, a wise idea.
If I were Miguel, I'd be particularly concerned that she actually works in health care and still doesn't have insurance. If you have money to not work full time, money to travel, then you're intentionally not carrying insurance. It's not because you can't afford it. You just consider it SOMEONE ELSE'S PRIORITY TO PAY FOR IT.

S15.E13: The Ugly Truth
in Married At First Sight
· Edited by Boo Boo
Amen!
First off, why couldn't she be honest on the application? She clearly knew it was wrong which is why she confessed it to Binh.
Binh may have erroneously thought you can't be an RN without a bachelor's, but he basically was confronted with: the stranger I married just told me she lied on the application. What else did she lie about?
A normal person would chalk it up to a misunderstanding that was catapulted by the confession and also assumed some blame. Well, I did lie on the application, even if it was a technicality, and he made an incorrect assumption based on my telling him I liked on the application. Most people would've given him a little grace knowing that he's paired with a stranger and the lie reveal would probably have most people wondering: who did I marry?
She takes ZERO blame. And then she has the gall to talk constantly about her inability to trust him. Why didn't the show ever hold her the slightest bit accountable? Instead, Binh sounds like a battered spouse.
I've said it before but given before she ever met Binh, she was already accusing him of lying about having COVID, she can't trust anyone because she knows she's not trustworthy.
