'Married At First Sight' returned this week but not with great news. Zach Justice and Mindy Shiben fell apart and that was probably for the best. They have been struggling for a while now and it was about time they moved on. 

Even though Zach moved in with Mindy, promising Pastor Calvin Roberson to make things better, to recommit to the process and to his marriage with Mindy, that zeal didn't last long.

The night he came in with his belongings, they had dinner and were having fun talking about how their lives' routines are. Zach managed to suck all the fun out from the situation when he said he would like to sleep in the guest bedroom. Clearly, there was a gap. 

Zach hasn't really been a likable personality on the show, especially with his tendency to give twisted and long-drawn answers. However, he did need time to get fully involved.

Zach and Mindy had not been living together ever since they returned from their honeymoon in Panama, Mexico, which made it all the more difficult for the couple to be on the same page. 

And to make matters worse, Mindy found out that Zach had been talking to one of her friends, Lindsey, without her knowledge. This deeply upset her but Zach wasn't ready to accept that he had been in the wrong.

He said that he hadn't lied, but just kept things from her and didn't communicate. However, Mindy was neck-deep in Zach's excuses and so, she finally called it quits, said he needs to leave the apartment and that their marriage was over. 

Zach told Dr Viviana Coles, an expert on the show, that they were on the right path and he was genuinely invested in making their marriage work. However, it's also interesting to note that he didn't put up a fight when Mindy asked him to leave their house. 

Later, Mindy had a  divorce party at her apartment, where she smashed a donkey pinata into pieces. However, she also explained how she wasn't a violent person but it was her pent-up frustration that overtook her.

Meanwhile, fans are more than excited about the party than any other content. "Mindy’s divorce party is the content we deserve," a viewer wrote, while another shared: "Oh my goodness it's a #RHOA divorce party #MarriedAtFirstSight."

"I am loving Mindy is having a divorce party! Celebrate leaving Zach behind! #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight Celebrate leaving Lindsay behind," a viewer expressed. "Mindy hosting a divorce party on camera is my kinda petty #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight," another posted.
