For the couples of 'Married at First Sight', the honeymoon is long over, and now they have to confront the reality of their marriages. Between conversations about finances, explosive fights and lack of attraction, it's been a whirlwind of a week for the couples. Jose and Rachel's house warming party had Jose's parents and Rachel's friends in attendance. When asked about their honeymoon, the couple was all smiles and laughter until the conversation shifted to finances. 

On the show this week, the couples had to host a housewarming party for friends and family at their respective apartments. For them, it was important to look past the differences and make things work. But that is easier said than done.

'MAFS' star Jose went on about having a combined amount and focusing on savings and was quick to dismiss Rachel's passion for travel. Fans were tired of the same conversation and pointed out that he needed to find the right balance. "Jose know he be itchin for Rachel's paycheck. Since everything so great on your side already, why not just let her handle the family's travel & recreational stuff#MAFS" tweeted a user. "#MarriedAtFirstSight #mafs What's the point of Jose's $250,000 salary or whatever and 815 credit score if he never enjoys life????? He never goes anywhere. He could die tomorrow and be like damn, I didn't do anything but collect money. What is the point?!" added a fan. 



 



 

Johnny and Bao, who have been dealing with a rather rough patch, seeing that Johnny has been vocal about not being attracted to his wife and needing space. They still hosted their house warming party and spoke to each other's friends. While Bao claimed that she was in the marriage 100% and Johnny was in 90%, Johnny claimed he was only 65% invested in this relationship. Fans left that if this continued, the relationship was doomed to fail. 

"Johnny is going to push Bao away until she emotionally checks out and THEN he'll realize he's actually ready to be married and wants her again.#MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS" tweeted a fan. "Bao absolutely has reason to be guarded with Johnny. Every second he's talking about not being sure about them. He said she's not his type. Stop asking her to give 100 when you wanna give 10! #MAFS" added a fan.



 



 


Michaela and Zack nearly canceled their house warming ceremony over their massive argument. However, Michaela decided to have the party. Zack was not entirely in it, seeing that he was worried about this side of Michaela that he saw. While her friends tried to reassure him, fans felt as though Michaela was not honest about herself. 

"Michela is a whole lie. She's explosive and controlling which makes for a toxic environment. Don't bring your crazy into someone's life and then act like it's the other person. #mafs #MarriedAtFirstSight" tweeted a fan. "I **KNOW** Michaela didn't say she bites her tongue! If what we've seen so far is her biting her tongue, then I'm afraid for Zack when she decides to speak up. Tuh! #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFSHouston #MAFS" added another. 



 



 

For Ryan and Brett, fans couldn't help but point out that Brett was far more into their relationship than Ryan, and it came across during their party as well. "Like I said before, I believe Brett likes Ryan more than he likes her. But I can't put my fingers o him because his eyes looks like he wants cry, ALL THE TIME! #MAFS #mafsHouston #MarriedAtFirstSight" tweeted a fan. "Brett desperately wants to see the good in Ryan. Sweetheart, you can't turn shit into sugar. The man isn't that into you BUT he does wanna clap them cheeks. #mafs #MarriedAtFirstSight" added another. 



 



 

Myrla and Gil's conversation around finances and lack of intimacy came up even at their house warming party. Fans, who were initial Team Gil now switched sides, seeing that Myrla could take care of herself so far and shouldn't have to compromise. "Gil doesn't seem to respect Myrla as a person. All he can see and all he can talk about is what he wants. And his idea of compromise is her doing what he wants. That's not it! #MAFS" tweeted a fan. "Gil has pushed us all to Team Myrla with his constant badgering about her coins. Clearly sis can handle hers #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight" added a fan.
