'MAFS' Season 15: Fans call out Stacia on her 'insecurity' as she begs to be loved by Nate

Fans feel 'Stacia's insecurity is showing' as she continues to question Nate about his love for her

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA: During the August 31 episode of Lifetime's 'Married At First Sight,' fans witnessed Nate and Stacia discuss falling in love despite understanding they're in two very different places. Fans on social media are afraid that Stacia is getting too far in her early marriage since she continues to seek validation from Nate.

Stacia and Nate from Season 15 of 'Married at First Sight' have all the makings of a strong pair. Will his hesitation to be entirely honest about his feelings for his wife, though, ruin their relationship before it ever gets started? The honeymoon period has ended, and Stacia and Nate (along with the other 'Married at First Sight' couples) have entered the next - and most likely most difficult - part of their marriage. The newlyweds moved into the apartment they'll be sharing for the next few months, and there were some snags. Stacia asks Nate, where he stands in their relationship in the most recent episode of the Lifetime reality series, and his answer was something she was not looking forward to.

'MAFS' Season 15: Fans label Stacia as 'intense' for 'pushing' Nate to talk about his absent mother

Stacia and Nate are pushed to explore where they are on the love spectrum and what it will take for them to fall head over heels for each other. The two are spending a romantic poolside night and getting real about the L-word after already considering a post-nuptial arrangement and perhaps going to counseling to give them the resources they need to be successful. Nate and Stacia were seen discussing the spectrum of love on Wednesday's episode. Nate acknowledges that he's somewhere in the center, and Stacia is understandably upset.

“I’m kind of inching towards the middle,” Nate acknowledges. “You know, 5 out of 10, give or take—4 out of 10.”

Stacia is taken aback when she learns Nate only has a "40 out of 100," but Nate claims he's simply being practical. Lowballing his feelings for her is more feasible for him since there is more upside potential, but Stacia, who is at an 8 out of 10, wonders what she can do to get him to a 100%. Nate requests more time. He believes that the more they are around one other, the more at ease they will both be. While Nate tries to reconcile with his wife, who is further along on the love spectrum, Stacia reminds him of Pastor Cal's admonition.

He returns to what Pastor Cal said: "love is more of a commitment and not a feeling." Nate, on the other hand, claims he is not a robot that can be programmed to declare "I'm in love with you," while Stacia is devastated by the "4 out of 10" admission.

Seeing Stacia continually pressing Nate to take a stand, a fan felt: "Stacia's insecurity is showing. Stacia thinks Nate's feelings have changed all of the sudden because he doesn't see things from her perspective. I was rooting her. #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight." Pointing out how Nate had a difficult past, another fan wrote: "Stacia, this man was abandoned by his mother. Give him a minute. #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS." Based on Nate who admits of not being in love with someone with whom he was for more period of time, a fan quipped: "If he was with someone for two years and didn’t say I love you, what do you expect after two weeks???? Stacia is super annoying #mafs #MarriedAtFirstSight." Criticizing Stacia for seeking validation, one viewer tweeted: "Stacia is an example of a beautiful high earning successful but insecure woman!! Why are you begging to be loved/validated by Nate & his parched ass braids sis?! It’s giving lack of self-esteem because she’s unraveling!! #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS."

While asking if Stacia goes to therapy, a fan wrote: "Are we sure Stacia goes to therapy ? Lol bc the way she is asking 101 questions is overwhelming for ANY person. #mafs #MarriedAtFirstSight." Some not-so-big Nate fans are stunned to see themselves him for an instance as they write: "You know Stacia’s doing too much when I’m in here agreeing with Nate #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS." Calling Nate more "emotionally stable" in the marriage, a fan wrote: "Let me find out Nate is more emotionally stable than Stacia... He is not catching the bs she's throwing." However, one fan felt Stacia's fear is legitimate: "Stacia just not good at communicating her feelings. She’s legit scared to be like all the relationships Nate has had in his adult life. #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS."
