While Stacia discusses her grievances with Nate, fans believe he is intimidated by a strong and established lady like her.

Stacia and Nate kicked things off on Decision Day. They were one of the most well-matched couples on this season of 'Married at First Sight,' and fans expected they would stay together on Decision Day. Nate and Stacia discuss their relationship's underlying problems with renowned specialists Dr Pepper Schwartz and Pastor Cal Roberson. "We’ve heard there’s been disruption in the last little bit of time," Dr Pepper begins, kicking off the group discussion.

Nate even refers to Stacia as his "twin flame." But it doesn't imply that their marriage was without challenges. Stacia is afraid that Nate is immature and that he does not trust her due to leftover pain from his connection with his mother. Nate believes he and Stacia have a wonderful relationship in many aspects, but he is less pleased when her "executive" side emerges.

"I feel like I’ve been on the fence kind of teeter totting between ‘should I stay or should I go,'" Stacia reveals to the experts as Nate stands by her. When Dr Pepper asks what she's been dealing with, Stacia answers, "I have a list," implying that Nate's problems are far more severe than previously thought. "The anger, rejection, communication, and comprehension, the disrespect, mommy issues… I do feel like your childhood trauma, as far as your upbringing with your mom, is starting to affect us now, and I feel like you’re starting to view me in a similar light," Stacia says, addressing Nate, who sits motionless next to her.

Nate takes the lead. He's examined the pros and downsides and determined that the benefits exceed the drawbacks. He wanted to stay married. Stacia says she was "not hopeful" about their relationship as of last night. Today, however, is different. She wishes to remain devoted to Nate. "I'm going to say yes," she replies, smiling.

Poking fun at how Stacia pulled out a list concerning Nate, a fan quipped: "Stacia’s list of everything that’s wrong with Nate." Another added: "The way Nate looked at Stacia when she said I have a list." One fan pointed out the biggest issue between the two: "I think Stacia and Nate’s biggest issue is the age and career gap… Nate’s excuses mask the fact that he’s simply not where he wants to be financially and he definitely ain’t ready for no kids!" Seeing the two hash out their issues, a fan added: "Therapy is definitely needed for Stacia and Nate if they stay married."

Even though the couple said yes for now, a fan wrote: "Hate to be negative but the only couple that’ll last is Stacia and Nate. And I feel like if Stacia was in her twenties, she’d be willing to leave him thinking there’s better out there." Calling their relationship an outcome of 'trauma bond': "Nate and Stacia practically trauma bonded over being biracial and they BOTH have abandonment issues. They don’t need to be married." Citing the contrast between the two, a viewer tweeted: "Nate has been the most logical and sensible of everyone on this season... Stacia is living in lala land...she wants a fairytale and that's not real life!" A fan was also glad to see Stacia call out Nate on his mommy issues: "I’m so glad stacia mentioned about Nate having “mommy issues”. Stacia is her own person. She isn’t your mom Nate. I understand he’s hurt but to put your childhood trauma on someone who wasn’t even in your life then is just crazy."

Season 15 of 'Married at First Sight' airs on Lifetime on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
