'MAFS' Season 15: Fans call Mitch 'a walking contradiction' as he fails to support Krysten's career goals

As Krysten opens about her career goals to Mitch, he continues to shun it all with his own views

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA: Even though Mitch and his new wife Krysten have had a difficult start on 'Married at First Sight,' they are still working hard to make things work. However, in the most recent episode, Mitch's views on Krysten's career and goals may set them back a little, giving fans the impression that Krysten is putting up with a lot.

Even though Krysten and Mitch may not agree on everything in 'Married at First Sight,' Krysten is trying to comprehend Mitch's desire to improve the environment. Mitch has stated on the show several times that earning a lot of money isn't essential to him. Krysten isn't in her new marriage for the money, but she values financial security. On the show, Mitch is referred to be an environmentalist, but his point of view may be too extreme for Krysten to make her own decisions. Fans believe Krysten is putting up with a lot more than she should as she continues to tread lightly with Mitch.

In a recent episode, Krysten expresses her desire to start a family and a new business. Mitch is an environmental fanatic, so she even cites "sustainability" to sweeten the deal. But Mitch has his own views about her job aspirations, and he's not quite sold on the baby talk just yet. The latter is reasonable, but Krysten's insecurity regarding her job prospects may work against them as a relationship, come Decision Day.

In the 'MAFS' episode, Krysten states she wants to establish a house-flipping business someday. She says she wants to flip properties with a "sustainable edge," which is likely to encourage Mitch to join the prospective future firm. But Mitch refuses to bite. Rather, he tells Krysten about what flipping houses mean to him. "Environmentalism kind of intersects with social justice a lot," Mitch explains. "And it seems like rising housing prices in San Diego and everywhere else are really pushing so many people out, and it's really only the rich who can afford houses."

Mitch is outspoken on 'MAFS' about his own work, which involves efforts to keep San Diego's water and beaches clean. He is also an activist who frequently promotes a cleaner way of life, such as the use of paper straws and recycling. It's a commendable job choice, but it appears to conflict with how his new wife lives. Krysten recognizes Mitch's desire to avoid "not gentrify every single neighborhood." However, neither of them has an answer. And, just as soon as things seemed to be going well for the pair, Krysten and Mitch are back in trouble. Fans aren't claiming the 'MAFS' experts failed these two, but they do have a lot to work out before they can both agree on D-Day.

Krysten adds in the episode that she intends to establish her own business when she and Mitch have one or two children. Krysten already has her real estate license, but she currently works for the software development business Salesforce. But for the time being, Krysten's greatest concern is probably making her marriage work with an individual who is still a stranger to her.

Calling Mitch 'a walking contradiction,' a fan wrote: "Mitch is all opinionated about Krysten’s dreams but he doesn’t mind benefitting from the money she brings to the table. He is a walking contradiction #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS." Sympathizing with Krysten for putting up with Mitch, another fan wrote: "Mitch is exhausting!! Ruined a perfectly good night with that foolishness!! I like the way Krysten handled him tho. She read him very politely. #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight." Fans feel Krysten got the worst husband of the lot, as one of them writes: "Krysten literally got the worst husband out of the bunch and if she wasn’t so desperate for love she could see that. He’s so fckn irritating. Go home Roger #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight -Cece." Another fan tweeted: "I feel incredibly bad for Krysten. She’s just trying to enjoy life and got the bottom of the barrel #MAFS."

Calling out Mitch for acting goofy when Krysten tries to have a serious talk, a fan tweeted: "If Krysten ever dared to act silly while Mitch was discussing his life goals, he would completely flip out. Krysten, on the other hand, let's Mitch get away with passively disrespecting her. #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSightSanDiego #MAFSSanDiego." Labeling Mitch as 'gaslighter', another fan wrote: "Every time Krysten and Mitch are having a good time, Mitch goes and jacks it up!! Super gaslighter! Bruh, she wanna flip houses. She don’t wanna sell crack out of em! #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight." Hoping to see Mitch be helpful towards his wife, a fan tweets: "I feel like it would be cool if Mitch could help Krysten develop a plan to flip houses that are placed on the market and sold equitably. #MAFS." However, some fans agree to Mitch's views as well, as they write: "Krysten sounds silly. If you think it's important for families to have a home, why are you trying to contribute to the housing crisis? You price these families out when you go around flipping houses. Mitch is right, it is inauthentic. #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS."
