'Married at First Sight': Karen feels 'unsafe' around Miles, fans say she is not yet ready for marriage
Miles fixed Karen's car and invited his chef friend to cook her a special gourmet dinner. But that was the end of their happy story. They went out for grocery shopping in the hope that Karen would cook something that Miles enjoys. But, it didn't turn out to be as enjoyable as they both thought it would.
Miles is all about communicating and Karen too, except that she avoids discussing physical intimacy and sex. In order to understand her stance better, Miles began asking questions. He was curious to know what she thought about them getting physically close. She tried changing the subject but Miles was determined to get an answer out of her. After much coaxing and prodding, she said they were not there yet and added that it's untrue that she feels uncomfortable talking about sex.
Miles was joking around and in the heat of the moment, ran to a calendar, and marked a day on it, on which they'd be having sex. Karen was visibly surprised and put off at the same time. She said he will be giving himself a hand job instead. In the latest episode, we see Karen recording herself on her phone sharing her feelings about what went down between her and Miles. She said she felt "unsafe" while Miles expressed in his video that his anxiety levels have shot up.
Meanwhile, fans on the show's Facebook page have pointed out that Karen is not ready for marriage and should have found a man the traditional way. "It makes me cringe actually just because she is so NOT ready for marriage and she’s making him pay for her fear. Not cool! She should have found a man the traditional way, this really sucks to send a young man go through this," a user commented, while another posted: "She has a lot of baggage that she still hasn't unpacked yet and she knows it so why even think to put yourself in a situation like this show. She seems to be a nice girl but she needs therapist right now not a husband."
"I get nervous every time a scene with Karen and Miles airs. She was not ready for this process, she is still not over her past trauma. No one is saying that she needs to immediately jump in bed with him but have a conversation about it," a viewer expressed. "That’s exactly what I was thinking, you can tell he was joking about the schedule.. she was looking for an out and now she found it..talking about she felt unsafe. smh," another pointed out.
