'What in the self-sabotage': 'Love Is Blind' fans slam Jackie for calling Marshall 'not man enough'

Jackie Bonds was slammed by viewers for calling Marshall Glaze 'not man enough'

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON: For one 'Love Is Blind' couple, the honeymoon period appears to be over. Jackie Bonds and Marshall Glaze got engaged in the pods, vacationed in Mexico and then moved back to Seattle for the first eight episodes. But while they had problems in their relationship in paradise, things only got worse after they left. Viewers have turned to social media to express their feelings about the couple's latest spat, which has drawn particular attention for its toxicity.

Netflix adores a good cliffhanger, and the most recent episode of 'Love Is Blind' Season 4 ended with one involving a 27-year-old dental assistant and her 27-year-old marketing manager fiancé. But, before we find out where they stand in the new episodes, which will air on April 5, let's look at what riled up the viewers against Jackie.

Jackie wants Marshall to 'get aggressive' in bedroom

Marshall briefly moved out of their shared house after a huge argument with Jackie, as shown in Episode 8, "Pick Me." "In this moment, this whole relationship with Jackie is very bleak," he says to the camera. "The other night, she says that I needed to boss up. The way that she made me feel in that moment when she said that I wasn't a man, that I wasn't doing grown-man stuff, that hurts."

When he returns a few days later, Jackie has packed her belongings. When she says she never said Marshall wasn't "man enough," they argue again. She claims she told him she wanted him to be "more aggressive." "We don't have sex, bro," she adds, turning away from him. Marshall attempts to continue speaking, but Jackie tells him he's causing her a migraine and walks away.

Things flare up when Marshall says Jackie is a "project" because she's never been in a genuine relationship. When she becomes enraged, he explains that he meant "limitless potential" in her. He also claims that being in a committed relationship and marriage entails having difficult talks even when neither party wants to, and that he loves her. The fight stops when Jackie sobs in his arms and apologizes.

'Women like her ruin the Marshalls of the world'

Shocked at Jackie's comments, a viewer tweeted, "Jackie telling Marshall to be aggressive and a man." Calling this a self-sabotaging attitude, another person wrote, "Jackie needs therapy. She not willing to let go of these toxic masculine men she used to dating. To the point she asking a grown black man to be aggressive with her. What in the self sabotage is you doin sis?" One angry fan also tweeted, "Jackie on Love Is Blind telling Marshall to be more aggressive and act like a man." Calling out both the parties, a fan wrote, "Ok Marshall shouldn’t have said the “I saw a project” thing but babyyyyy Jackie is a muthafucking headache. Marshall has literally been a gentleman and good man to her but she wants someone who’s going to be a dick and aggressive.. girl go on somewhere."

Fans back up Marshall as they write, "Jackie & Marshall is a definition of that you need to heal first in order to be in a healthy relationship. Right person for Jackie but wrong timing. Marshall def deserves the world. Such a sweetheart." Another person chimed in, "I really like Marshall and I think he deserves someone as secure as he is, Jackie has a lot of unresolved emotional issues and should not be getting married!" One viewer also noted, "Jackie doesn’t seem very self aware cause everytime they’ve shown scenes of her and Marshall she seems MISERABLE who is tryna turn on a miserable woman? He’s probably just reading the room BFFR." Fans also feel, "Jackie is on the wrong show. Women like her ruin the Marshalls of the world. What did you come on Love is Blind for?!"
