DENVER, COLORADO: 'Married at First Sight' Season 17 star Becca Haley and Austin R's romance fizzled out just before Decision Day. The duo had been facing intimacy issues and misunderstandings soon after their honeymoon.

In the preview of the upcoming episode, Becca tearfully shared with her friend, "Austin left the apartment." She continued, "I'm hurt and upset because I really did want to make this work."

She further broke down in tears and claimed she couldn't continue to live a fake life with Austin anymore. Becca added, "I can't just live a life that isn't real. Like, I can't keep pretending."

In the previous episode, Becca invited Dr Pepper and Pastor Cal to her place, as she was having a hard time because her communication with Austin had deteriorated.

Becca claimed that she and Austin never felt heard in the relationship and the Lifetime show star was having a more difficult time than she had let on to anyone.
