As initially disclosed, the couple went from exchanging "I love yous" on their honeymoon to major squabbles, including a post-Decision Day confrontation in which Alexis said she wanted a divorce. They gave up too fast, according to Pastor Cal, who counseled them during their 8-week marriage. "I’m saying you didn’t give yourselves time enough to see if the thing could work," Pastor Cal said. "Because every trial that comes—if there’s a big bump, if there’s an issue, there’s a challenge [you say], okay we’re not compatible. In every marriage, people go through times when they say 'Oh my God, who are you?!'" he added.

Kevin Frazier then asked Justin why he didn't fight back when Alexis abruptly ended their marriage, and the marketing specialist confessed. Justin gave away his 7-year-old dog Mya before Decision Day after she attacked Alexis' dog Newton and said it was to demonstrate his devotion to his wife. Apparently, this was a watershed event for Justin. “Because I wasn’t fully honest with her when I gave my dog away,” Justin revealed. "I didn’t wanna do it. So when I did it, you know I didn’t want to lose her, but I knew I wasn’t going to be fully happy either," Justin said during the 'MAFS' reunion.

Then Dr Pepper weighed in, "So it almost sounds to me as you’re saying this that it wasn’t about her losing trust in you.” "In some ways, it was you losing trust with her because you had to give up your dog, and that may have damaged your commitment to what else you would do for the marriage," the expert added.

In addition to recounting the dog incident, the professionals offered their professional perspectives on the fundamental issue at hand. During the reunion, Dr Pepper expressed her belief that Alexis desired an Alpha male, while Pastor Cal discussed their "emotional vomiting." "Well if I was going to be dead honest I would say that she wanted him to be more of an Alpha male and that she backed away from him when he was not," Dr Pepper explained, before noting that the two were also too reactive to each other.

"This process is so accelerated, and you got to know each other so quickly and so deeply [and] that was good and bad," Pastor Cal said, adding, "The bad was that you got to know each other’s issues and because you’re so emotional, and you’re so intense that you just almost emotionally vomited on each other and that’s too much to take when you don’t have a foundation." He then came to the conclusion that they both "just quit." Justin also admitted that he told Alexis not to make him the butt of her jokes, which she utterly failed to do.

Fans took to social media to blast Alexis for not only not acknowledging Justin's emotions but also making a joke out of him at every chance she got. One viewer said, "Its the fact that Justin asked Alexis not to roast him on national TV, and she still roasted that man every single chance she got."

Some fans also slammed the experts for not addressing the real problem during their sitdowns, "Hate that the experts are telling Justin and Alexis that they quit INSTEAD of telling Alexis that insulting her husband and sharing his PRIVATE business is a NO NO. Do not force that man to get back together with that TOXIC woman."

Another fan added, "Alexis gaslights and humiliated Justin all season long. Justin finally confronts her and stands up for himself and her response is, “You attacked my character.” No. He called a spade a spade. There’s a difference."

When Alexis revealed that Justin prevented her from cracking jokes, fans came to his defense as one wrote, "There’s nothing wrong with Justin asking Alexis to not make jokes at his expense especially in front of people. B***h that’s just respect. So you admit, you’re a s**tty person Alexis?"

Given the reputation of the couple this past season, a fan tweeted, "Honestly I don't believe anything Justin says but I don't believe Alexis either."

After the experts and the host said that they were hoping the couple would last, a fan wrote, "Did Kevin watch the same season like the rest of us? At no point and time Justin & Alexis were gonna make it. Quit trying to make them happen… LET IT GO…"

Further slamming Alexis for standing up for everyone but her husband, a fan tweeted, "It’s tough to be the backbone for Justin… your husband ALEXIS! But you’re the backbone and the voice of the streets for: Krysten, Morgan, Stacia, & hell even Luna the dog."

Another fan tweeted, "So Alexis wants Justin to apologize for “attacking her character” while she dragged him every chance she was on camera & now at the reunion… Justin should’ve told her to kick rocks.."
