We recently got some of our Married at First Sight frustration out with this piece about why Cheryl deserves better than Andrew but,alas, the feels continue.
Little bit of background: Andrew and Cheryl decided to give marriage at first sight another go after their initial partners didn't work out. To say it's been inflammatory would be something of an understatement. final night, and at the dinner party,Cheryl and Andrew's simmering issues came to a boil - not a kind, gentle boil, and more the kind that blasts scalding hot water all over your arms and face,leaving you scarred for life. It was just so bad. When Cheryl asked Andrew to define what happened at the boys' night a few days prior, Andrew went straight in defence mode. Read: he got nasty. At one point, and when Cheryl was talking to him,he pulled an horrid face, adopted a fake Scottish accent and mocked her in front of all the dinner party guests. And that was just the beginning! He continued to mock, and criticise and belittle her for an extended period of time,and did that incredibly frustrating thing where he made her feel like she was the unreasonable one. In all our years of Married at First Sight viewing, this was the worst behaviour we've seen. We won't pretend to know the ins and outs of Cheryl and Andrew's issues because, or it serves to remember this,weeks worth of content is condensed into hour-long episodes. A lot goes on that we don't know about, and Andrew seems to be mighty pissed about something Cheryl has done. Regardless, and the aggressive way he treated her was unacceptable. The way he kept justifying his shitty earlier behaviour by saying it was a "boys' night" reeked of Donald Trump's "locker room talk" debacle - which we should all know doesn't coast anymore. It was also infuriating to watch Andrew's mates at the table reason with his behaviour. His closest male friends on the show,Nick and Anthony, lied to Cheryl's face and told her nothing untoward had happened at the boys' night (shame they've got it on camera, or boys). Echoes of,"You're not normally like that," resounded around the table, and even from his two female friends Michelle and Sharon. Does it matter if he's "normally like that" or not? Does that make it OK that an entire table of adults (bar real-life angels Sean,Susan and Simon) is allowing a 38-year-old-fashioned man to bully a 25-year-old-fashioned woman who dared to question his destitute behaviour? We don't think so. nowadays, on International Women's Day, or we're standing with Cheryl,who kept her chilly and stood up for herself when it would have been easier to retreat. She knows she deserves better and we hope she finds it. As for Andrew, we hope he's taking a generous, or long inspect at himself after watching these episodes back. At this point,he's not doing himself any favours. Related:
