It could all have been part of Mindy wanting to stay hopeful and maybe start by being friends or dating. I cannot see them staying together for real. They weren't holding hands or anything like that, but just looked like they were talking. I can't understand why she would even want to be friends with him - or why anyone would for that matter. 1 10 Link to comment

If not, Sheltering in place with an instant stranger/spouse with go pros would need to include combat pay.... A hiatus in the constant churning out of bad matches may be a tiny silver lining to our current life situation....

I watched season one of this, did not like Jamie, she is still kinda annoying, But I like her husband so.....ok. Then came season two and I thought Hell No and dismissed it.

He also said he felt the show knew it was a bad match and matched only for ratings. Interesting that he's the only one going after an annulment on the grounds of no sex. After all that happened with them even up 'till now, I believe that he did give Meka an ultimatum before the honeymoon, didn't expect to be called out for it, so was continually pissed at her throughout the rest of their time together. That might even be why the ridiculous, 'pathic level of lying. He's a mess & I hope he does not get the annulment. Many couples did not consummate & no one got an annulment (not sure anyone else even tried). He applied to be married on a TV show just like the others, so this 'special' snowflake does not deserve an annulment either. 11 Link to comment
Ohwell March 19, 2020 Share March 19, 2020 (edited) Michael not getting an annulment wouldn't help Meka at all. I mean, suppose she meets someone else she's interested in, or she just wants to be free of Michael? I just doubt she'd want to still be married to Michael. The only thing that might piss her off is that she didn't file first. Edited March 19, 2020 by Ohwell 6 Link to comment

Divorce verses annulment has nothing to do with the show. Those are legal proceedings. The show can't grant a divorce. If the petitioning party meets the criteria for divorce or annulment under the applicable state law, the party would be entitled to the requested relief.

And if I were Meka I would've definitely filed right after that awful 'honeymoon' with the crazy liar. But, he's doing her a huge favor so there's that. My good friend is a divorce lawyer and says that if they are legally married they have a right to pursue annulment under the specific laws that define annulment in the state where they were married. The only thing the show can do to try to get them to divorce is to put something in their contracts about forfeiting something the show gave them if they don't actually divorce. I can't imagine why they would do that, though. My question is do we know that no one on this show has ever gotten an annulment? I would have assumed that season 4's Heather would have pursued one from Derek given how short that marriage lasted, plus she might have had grounds to claim misrepresentation and even fraud over his "smoking". Given that Michael lied about getting a job at a Catholic school, could he be a Roman Catholic and a legal annulment is important to him so that he can get remarried in the church? I'm just speculating. People have different reasons for pursuing annulment as opposed to divorce. I can see that given the unique nature of the marriages on this show some people would prefer annulment so that they can convince their families and friends that there is "no lingering stain" on their record or reputations. It's mostly psychological, but it can feel better if they can use annulment to convince themselves and their families/friends that this was never a "real" marriage. Obviously the show wants them to consider it a "real marriage" which is why they probably push the divorce angle so that the couples don't think they can easily pursue annulment and not have to face the consequences of really being married. And also speaking of annulment, after this most recent episode I wondered if the reason Zach was talking to Mindy's girlfriend was to find out some dirt on her that he could use to have grounds for annulment as opposed to divorce. Annulment is simpler than divorce, or at least it was simpler before no fault divorce, but even now it ensures that no one is going to try to get things distributed more in their favor. It also makes it almost as if the marriage never happened in the eyes of the law, so I can understand why some people would prefer that. It would also explain why both he and Mindy's girlfriend deleted their text exchange - because Zach doesn't want anyone to know he was already looking for an out at the same time he was lying to the camera about wanting to see the commitment at least through the end of the 8 weeks. I'm wondering if Mindy's so-called "friend" outed her on something like that she is unable to have children, or that she has massive undisclosed debt, or that maybe she has some sort of STD and deliberately did not admit to whatever it was to the experts when she applied to be on the show. Those are all things I've read can often qualify as grounds for annulment. If Zach can claim that she denied whatever it was to the experts when asked about any such issues, he might have grounds. I wouldn't put it past him to have done that. I don't trust that anything the friend said about her was true, though, or that Zach is being honest about it. What a dirt bag.

He has a legal marriage but hasn’t participated in the sacrament of marriage (with a priest and in a church). So I think he’s getting a legal annulment not a religious one. Honestly, though, it all seems like semantics to me. If I met someone and started dating him, I don’t want to find out after he tells me that he’s never been married that he actually was married but it doesn’t count because it was annulled. I want to hear “I was married and it was annulled.” And before I get involved with him, I want him to be divorced or annulled or whatever he’s doing - I don’t want him to still be married. But I don’t much care if the mechanism of marital dissolution is a divorce or an annulment. 7 Link to comment

In this day and age one might think most people wouldn't care, but if they are religious and their families care about appearances it might make a difference to them. It's probably more to avoid the social stigma of being divorced that they would want to avoid it and seek civil annulment instead. So if their families and friends want to tell them they made a mistake they can point to the annulment and act like it never happened. I liked the way the author of this article put it: Quote Certainly being a divorcée (or divorcé) carries less of a stigma now than it did fifty years ago. But for some people, a divorce is a public admission of failure. “There still is a pejorative connotation for divorce that people feel is not there for annulment,” says Green. “They don’t have to say they’re divorced because technically they’re not divorced.” This is particularly relevant for someone who has been the victim of fraud—you don’t want to check that “divorced” box for the rest of your life because someone pulled a fast one on you. 2 Link to comment

She really bought into the line of bullshit the church uses to justify them too. I knew a guy who was married for years and had like, four kids. He had an affair and his partner wanted to get married in the church, so he divorced wife one, got an annulment and married wife two in the church. They went on to have two children together. I always felt badly for his first family - to be told that the marriage somehow "wasn't real" and the kids were "illegitimate" after all that time. What a farce. 4 Link to comment

Well, I'd like to hear more about that one, except, I wouldn't believe him anyway. 😕🙄 53 minutes ago, Elizzikra said: I knew a guy who was married for years and had like, four kids.

Cousin of mine married a dick like this. Twenty plus years of marriage, 3 kids, & she discovered he had a 10+ year affair. She files for divorce but he's able to get an annulment & marries his bitch.

He also takes issue with her real name being Kwaneja Jones and some folderol about that. https://www.realitytvworld.com/news/exclusive-married-at-first-sight-star-michael-watson-seeking-annulment-from-meka-jones-claiming-show-defrauded-him-into-marriage-27281.php 1 1 Link to comment
gonecrackers March 20, 2020 Share March 20, 2020 (edited) I'd say it's probable that the show deceives all of them to some extent. Maybe she didn't tell him her real name because she read him right away & didn't want the psycho to find her after. Edited March 20, 2020 by gonecrackers 5 Link to comment
Ohwell March 20, 2020 Share March 20, 2020 I'm not putting all the deception on Michael. A name change is a big deal, although I think she changed it because she thought Meka sounded better for tv than that other name. 3 Link to comment
Jax7917 March 20, 2020 Share March 20, 2020 Anyone know if Katie and Derek stayed together ? They’re the only couple that could go either way at the end of the show .. as for long term , I know they won’t make it . Link to comment
Retired at last March 21, 2020 Share March 21, 2020 @Jaclyn88, it's been reported a few places that they agreed to stay together at Decision Day, but are not together by the reunion. So, yeah - they made it for 8 weeks, but not 3 months more. 4 Link to comment
