'Married At First Sight' Season 18 stars Michelle Tomblin and David Trimble's marriage has hit a roadblock with the couple having multiple issues. Michelle has seemingly no hope with her marriage and even she doesn't want to give it a try. She wants out of her marriage but the production seemingly wants her to continue.

Michelle has broken down multiple times and was on the verge of calling it quits but the producers often chime in on her marriage drama and convince her to give it a try. Additionally, the Lifetime show experts also seemed to be involved as they matched the duo despite having major differences. Michelle has admitted to having a 'type' in men and David is totally opposite of her expectation.

However, she has recently been slammed for having unrealistic expectations. In the preview of the upcoming episode, she met David's friends and admitted, "I think he has like values down bur I'm having a hard time grasping physical, the living situation, our lifestyle." However, Michelle definitely has high expectations which could derail her relationship.
