NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: Mackinley Gilbert and Domynique Kloss of 'Married at First Sight' may divorce before Decision Day due to poor communication skills and mounting concerns. In a preview clip for the forthcoming episode, the pair reveals the shocking news to the rest of the group.

'MAFS' Season 16 duo, Mack and Dom were paired with the best intentions by the experts, but their squabbling has already prompted sympathy and anger among viewers. Dom is nearly ten years younger than Mack at the age of 25. The couple's shared dedication to their professions should have allowed their maturity levels to meet at the center, but their divergent life paths created conflict in their marriage. Dom and Mack from 'MAFS' Season 16 struggled to speak with one another, leaving issues unresolved and conflicts to fester. They appeared to be a decent fit on paper, but their rapport was nonexistent in reality.

Dom and Mack announce their separation

The newlywed couples look to be gathered at a housewarming celebration in the network's preview for the upcoming episode. After a dramatic honeymoon, they are about to make some big decisions, such as moving in together. However, one couple's concern is very different.

Mack asks everyone at the meeting how their sex lives are going, and everyone except Airris Williams gives him varied answers. He notes that he is still not there because this is the first time he is not sexually drawn to a woman, in this instance, his wife, Jasmine Secrest. When Dom and Mack are asked the same question, they deliver the ultimate bombshell.

Dom and Mack share that they want a divorce. Dom goes on to say that she "doesn't like negativity and negative energy" in her life.

Nicole thinks Dom and Mack will regret their decision

Dom and Mack's decision is not supported by other couples. Nicole Lilienthal tells Dom that she will be sorry for her decision. Kirsten begs Dom not to give up on Mack so quickly. Clint Webb observes that tossing in the towel is the easiest way out, but it is not the best option. Nicole adds that the couple would regret not even trying to be together. She wonders if taking some time apart and starting over might be beneficial.

To see what Dom and Mack ultimately decide, tune into Lifetime on Wednesday, March 1 at 8 pm ET and catch the brand-new episode of 'Married at First Sight' Season 16.
