'Married At First Sight' Season 18 star Ikechi Ojore has recently shown his real self and his wife, Emem Obot, needs to run away from him. Emem and Ikechi had been thriving early in their marriage and had a whirlwind romance during their honeymoon. However, things started to change since the day he visited Emem's house.

Emem has previously admitted that her past boyfriends often got intimidated by her success and it seemed like so was her husband. Ikechi's behavior has noticeably changed since he moved in with Emem into her apartment and showed his passive-aggressive side. Additionally, he yelled at Emem and verbally abused her.

However, Emem seemed to be delusional and totally in love with Ikechi. Instead of calling him out for his verbal abuse, she tried to understand Ikechi and what had been bothering him. She wants to work on her marriage but it would be her mistake because things could turn into a disaster if she continued to ignore Ikechi's red flags.
