SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA: 'The Ultimatum: "Marry or Move On' proved that no relationship can work without constant effort. The lack of communication has deprived Ryann McCracken of the opportunity to get to know her partner, James Morris.

On the other hand, James was hesitant to speak out about his past life, which put a strain on their relationship. 

James and Ryann are high school sweethearts and attended Williamsburg Academy together.

However, James was hesitant to show his true side and was a vulnerable self due to their different upbringings.

Ryann grew up in a stable household, while James' early years were complicated because his mother had to care for him after his father died unexpectedly when he was two years old.

James' past trauma combined with some other aspects of his personal experiences made him quite hesitant in dealing with his partner Ryann, although she is generally not a judgmental or rude person. However, James expressed, "I find it hard to believe in one true love."

James explained, "Statistically, I just don’t think that’s possible. There's 8 billion people in this world."

He further noted that he was a recent college graduate and wanted to "make sure we're in a better financial space" before moving on to the next step of getting engaged and eventually starting a family.

Despite all his differences, James recognized the importance of communication in a relationship in 'The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On,' and he opened up about his personal life and traumas in front of his partner Ryann.

James and Ryann seemed to work on their relationship problems and continued their relationship for about seven years.

Although neither James nor Ryann have revealed anything about their relationship, there are still love photos of them on social media.

James Morris cheated on Ryann McCracken

James Morris and Ryann McCracken's relationship has been plagued by communication as well as trust issues for the past few years. James chose to finish his education in another state admittedly cheating on his partner.

In the latest season of the Netflix show, James was coupled up with Jeriah 'Riah' Nyree during his trial marriage. However, Riah craved physical intimacy and questioned why he didn't even hug or kiss her.

James and Riah's conversation turned into a heated feud with the former admitting that he had cheated on his longtime girlfriend Ryann in the past.

James further noted that he didn't want to repeat his past mistake while getting intimate in his trial marriage.

James Morris to reconcile with Ryann McCracken after trial marriage

James Morris had to undergo through trial marriage just to realize that her longtime partner Ryann McCracken was the one.

When James heard Ryann's trial marriage partner Treyvon 'Trey' Brunson compliment Ryann on her beauty, kindness, passion, and simplicity, he realized her worth.

Although James wasn't the greatest partner to Riah during the experiment, he understood precisely where he went wrong and vowed to work things out.

James also aroused jealousy, but after a while his heart was bound to his long-term love. He opened up to Ryann and told her about his past trauma, which turned out to be the biggest hurdle in their relationship and was due to his weakness.

After he reconciled with Ryann, James admitted, "You are the love of my life, Ryann."

James further added, "I love you more than anything in this world. You may have issued me the ultimatum, but I've never not known I wanted to marry you. I guess I was always scared."
