Nancy and Bartise try to be friends on Love Is Blind: After the Altar

Season 3 of the Netflix special premiered at 3 am ET/2 am CT and gave viewers an insight into what transpired between the cast members a year after they filmed the season. While some couples decided to work through their issues, for others, it was the last time viewers would see them on screen.

Former Love Is Blind season 3 couple Nancy and Bartise might not have ended up married, but they tried to reconnect as friends. The duo discussed what transpired on their wedding day. Nancy explained that her family has always trusted her with her decisions and so it was extremely emotional for them to see their daughter get married. But when it didn't happen, they were heartbroken.

Bartise, however, confessed to being shocked by her family's reaction but wished to leave all of it behind and become someone Nancy "could rely on." The latter also wanted them to be friends as she felt he was a good person to have around.

Later in the Love Is Blind: After the Altar special, Nancy, who hadn't told her family about meeting Bartis,e confessed the same to her mother and her brother. Her mother failed to understand why she wanted to be his friend and got extremely tense about it. Although Nancy tried to calm the situation, her mother addressed her concerns with the same. She said:

"When it comes to my babies, I tear s**t up. Do you know, um, the emoji poop? That's what he is for me. A piece of S - - T. I would never wanna be his friend. I'm sorry. I can never...Even if he were to turn around and say, "Oh we made up and we're gonna get married, and this and that," I don't know how I would take that."

Nancy's brother Steve mentioned that the Love Is Blind star was still holding on to memories, while her mother mentioned that she was too nice to care for Bartise and wanted to be his friend. Nancy was left emotional at the end of the conversation as she felt it wasn't right to cut her ex-fiancé off because she still cared for him.

By the end of the conversation, Nancy's mother asked her to put herself first, while Steve asked her to maintain her peace of mind.
