Josh White, one of the participants of the Married at First Sight Australia 2023 is reportedly ready to call it quits this week.
Following mounting pressure from his TV wife Melissa Sheppard to take their physical relationship to the next level Josh White is reportedly calling off their relationship.
Will MAFS Josh take the plunge or will he choose to bow out? Only time will tell.In the latest episode, we can see the experts making the unprecedented decision to allow the 40–year–old groom to depart the show.
With the couple’s relationship proving to be too turbulent to allow the show to continue, this was the only way out as per the experts.
From the very first day, Josh White and his MAFS partner Melissa Sheppard had an undeniable spark. However, when it came to discussing their sex lives, their perspectives couldn’t have been more different.
Many viewers felt the mother-of-one’s emphasis on a “healthy sex life” and her bold remarks would be deemed as “predatory” and “sexual harassment” if the roles were reversed.
Married at First Sight Expert John Aitkin Allows Josh White to Quit Experiment
After a particularly tumultuous turn of events, Married at First Sight expert John Aitkin stepped in to grant Josh White permission to leave the experiment, despite the rules requiring both parties to stay if one person wrote ‘stay’.
With a heavy heart, John addressed Josh, asking him what he wanted to do. Josh’s response was simple – he wanted to go.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Aitkin acknowledged the situation and allowed Josh to leave, though not without a look of regret.
The pressure of Intimacy Week proved too much for the father–of–one, who had been struggling to satisfy his partner Melissa‘s insatiable appetite for passion. Unable to keep up with her demands, he ultimately succumbed to the challenge of connecting on a deeper level.
“He already felt like a sex object and extremely pressured and overwhelmed without having the experts force more intimacy on them.”
The intensity of Intimacy Week was the proverbial “straw that broke the camel’s back” for the couple. At the second Commitment Ceremony, Josh and Melissa’s relationship hit a breaking point.
After Josh called Melissa a monster and accused her of only wanting him as a sex object, Melissa shot back with a powerful response.
“If I only wanted sex, I’d just go on Tinder and stuff these days. You don’t need to go on a reality show and air your laundry to do that,” she said.
Josh was left in tears, unable to carry on, and the intense atmosphere of Intimacy Week was the final straw for the couple.
