'MAFS' Season 15: Fans slam Stacia for dismissing Nate's feelings as she tries to control him

'Stacia’s standards are way too high. She expects someone to fit perfectly into her idea of marriage like a fairytale,' said a fan

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA: Season 15 of 'Married at First Sight' is one episode away from the crucial Decision Day, but first the couples must resolve some concerns in 'This Isn't Best Friends at First Sight'. Nate and Stacia sat down for a meal in the recent Lifetime episode, but her incessant nagging about what she wants to hear from him has enraged both her husband and the viewers.

In this episode, the couples took some time apart to talk with loved ones about their plans for Decision Day, seeking counsel and words of wisdom before taking the plunge. When Stacia and Nate gather with their loved ones, the major topic is Nate moving into Stacia's house. While Nate believes she is in a different emotional place, Stacia is concerned that he is taking things too seriously, particularly when it comes to thinking about having children. Nate is concerned that the huge relocation would feel like he is living in Stacia's house rather than a shared experience. Their loved ones try their best to assuage the duo's fears, but it's uncertain whether it will be enough to keep them together.

The couples get together for a group adventure, racing go-karts around San Diego before sitting down for a seaside meal that appears to be somewhat chilly as everyone warms up. Stacia states that she doesn't believe Nate believes her judgment or perspective, citing how he argued with her about having fun while simultaneously having children until his father informed him differently.

Later, the couples embark on solo dates for one more time before splitting up in the hours leading up to Decision Day. Nate and Stacia's dinner date becomes less cordial as they sit down. He starts the night by questioning whether Stacia is all in and if she has any flaws she has yet to reveal. She tells Nate that she has been honest about her imperfections thus far, and is concerned that he would not love her because he has never experienced it in previous relationships. Nate is angry and expresses his desire for Stacia to be patient with him, but the discussion devolves into an argument, and he walks away from the table in disgust.

The couples reflect on their dates and experiences on the night before their farewell till Decision Day. Stacia and Nate are nervous as they ponder the good aspects of their encounter. She claims she has no regrets, and Nate admits that he enjoys the friendship element of their relationship, but it's evident that they don't agree on how to handle disagreements.

'MAFS' fans slammed Stacia after she failed to acknowledge Nate's feelings: "Nate just expressed himself so beautifully to Stacia and she didn't even acknowledge that. She expects him to be head over heels in love with her already." Another fan added Stacia's standards are too high for Nate to meet: "Stacia’s standards are way too high. She expects someone to fit perfectly into her idea of marriage like a fairytale. Nate met you last month & has never said I love you to a girl so give him time. He’s showing his commitment in other ways." One fan added how Stacia has been dismissing Nate's feelings: "I feel like Nate has been really vulnerable + transparent, and actively working to show his commitment, but Stacia is so stuck on wanting to hear “I love you” that she’s dismissing all the ways he’s showing love through his actions." One fan quipped: "Stacia use to complain about Nate not opening up and expressing how he feels, and as soon as he opens up to her she gets mad because he’s not telling her what she wants to hear."

A viewer tweeted how Stacia wants to control every aspect of her marriage as they write: "The real reason Stacia says that Nate lacks emotional experience is because he hasn’t said that he loves her, within the timeline that SHE wanted him to. She just wants to control every aspect of the marriage." One fan wrote how Stacia has been mistaken thinking she gets to control things in her marriage: "Nate standing his ground is EVERYTHING. Stacia thought because she had money she would run things. She is sadly mistaken." Speaking of Stacia, a viewer also wrote: "Stacia is a classic example of someone with an anxious attachment style." One viewer also wrote how there's no pleasing Stacia given she is not happy with anything Nate does for her: "This is some gamey BS. Stacia wants to hear what she wants to hear. If she’s not hearing the word 'love' Nate isn’t being sincere. To quote Goldmember, 'then there is no pleasing you'."
