The Kitchen Table

Married at First fansï¿½.

It is difficult watching Vaughn and Monet. They seem to have absolutely no connection. (Other than the bedroom)
When Vaughn mentioned a menage a trois, Monet should have called it quits right then. He just gets creepier.

Jason and Courtney are such a cute couple. They really seen to have a connection.

Jamie and Doug seem to be the most logical. They are using their time to get to know one another. However, if Jamie can't fit into the Hehner clan, it could mean trouble.

What do you think? Interesting too that for the couples this started in March, so either they are divorced already or still married for almost four months.

Interesting! I cannot predict the outcome.

Seems as though Vaughn is saying and doing things to destroy any hope of success. Maybe he feels it is important to put his desires and thoughts out from the get go, so no surprises later on. Either way, I don't see this marriage working at all.

Jason and Courtney seem to be really trying. It is nice to hear her say that because Jason is such a selfless person that she wants to make sure she takes care of him. He is such a great guy! I think their busy schedules will be an issue.

Jamie and Doug continue to impress me. I like that they are taking this slow. I know being a part of family is something that Jamie is looking for, but I can see how difficult it will be trying to establish that as she really has never had a strong connection to her own. I understand why Doug's mom feels the way she does, but I think she needs to lighten up a bit and give it time.

I watched and find it kind of interesting. I felt awful for guy whose bride did not like him at first. He is such a patient and sweet guy. Fun to watch their relationship evolving and her feelings changing. The EMT and make-up artist couple are cute together, but I think their schedules will be a challenge. The third couple I don't see lasting.

I don't think Jamie was overreacting. She admittedly has trust issues that are very deep rooted and we saw that pain. Doug's lie not only disrespected her, but also his mother. A very immature response on his part. I don't think it was the first time he's lied in a relationship. I like both Doug and Jamie and I truly hope they make it work. I think it will take more work on Doug's part because Jamie is so emotionally fragile. I don't see Jamie giving Doug a third chance if he messes up. I think out of all 6 participants, Courtney is the most mature and logical. I think she and Jason have the best chance at success if he lets his guard down. Jason mentioned that nothing in his life ever turns out for the better. I wonder if he is just protecting his mom (and maybe himself) in case it doesn't work out with Courtney. After all as this is airing they are only 1 month into the marriage. I hope that Jason lets his guard down and allows Courtney to meet his mom, I think Courtney could be a great source of support to both. Vaughn and Monet are a train wreck. Very hard to watch their segments.

Did you marry your first love?

Yes, in a way I did...I met him when I was 12, in a hospital bed with a broken femur with my leg in traction (way back in 1950)...He was in the adjoining room with burns to his arms but he was able to walk and the nurses would tell him to visit that little girl next door....Even after he was discharged, he'd still come to visit and then I was sent home in a full body cast and flat on my back for another 6 months and there he was still visiting...He had graduated from HS, went into the Army and we wrote, daily, back and forth and shortly after he came home, we were married...I had graduated, was only 17 and he was 22...AND here we are, married almost 63 years, 5 kids, 13 grand kids and 3 great grands...Sadly, he was diagnosed with dementia 3 years ago and it's not been an easy time...There are days when he has no idea who I am but then when he calls me "Hon", I know he's still with me....So many keep telling me, I need to place him in a home but he took care of me all those years and now it's my turn...As long as I'm breathing and able, I'm determined to keep him in the house we've lived in for all these years......

Hi, Charity. If your heart is cold for your husband, I disagree that your marriage is intact. You may still be married, but it's not what marriage is supposed to be. Of course, swinging isn't supposed to be a part of marriage, either, if you believe in the traditional marriage vows (forsaking all others), but I realize that you don't. For me, and I realize not for you, living with someone for whom I have a cold heart just isn't a good, fulfilling life. You and he are getting your sexual kicks otherwise, but if you're getting your emotional needs met outside of the marriage, why don't you just divorce? What in the world is the benefit to anyone of staying married? NOT trying to demean or start an argument. It's just that your way of living and values are apparently so opposite of mine that I'm intrigued. I get my sexual kicks and my emotional and companion needs met by my husband and realize that I am very, very fortunate.

I don't even like to see/hear Vaughn anymore. When he said that to Monet that did it for me! If I were her I think I would have walked. He must be that kinda guy.

I just love the show, I think it coming to a real fast end, maybe next week. I hate to see it over.

I think both couples might just make it, but you never know Monet and Vaughn may still stay together after all.

Wonder if they will do another one with different couples?

Vaughn seems creepy to me, too. On the other hand, maybe he just wanted a reaction. Who knows. It is a reality show after all.
