The honeymoon period ended early for one Love is Blind couple in episode 8 as Jackie and Marshall got into a heated argument.
Jackie asked Marshall to become more aggressive and initiate s*x, which the latter felt was an insult. He thought that Jackie was implying that he was not man enough, and moved out of the house temporarily.
When he returned to their shared apartment, Jackie also said that she was going to pack her stuff. Marshall tried to stop her and defended himself by saying that he was always trying to create a mood while she did nothing to seduce him. He also reminded his fiancé that she had never been in a committed relationship, so this is what it looked like.
Jackie was further shocked when Marshall called her a “project” and said that he saw “potential” in her. He thought that Jackie would “come around” at some point but later on defended himself by saying:
"I see you as someone who I can uplift and empower… this is what a marriage is."
Jackie felt that Marshall was treating her like a puppet but hugged him later on. Love is Blind fans were shocked by Marshall's statement and called him out for having "red flags."
Love is Blind fans feel Marshall is toxic
Jackie hugged Marshall at the time but the pair did not know how to move forward in their relationship. They also arrived separately at the party and discussed their issues with other cast members. Love is Blind fans felt that Marshall had a "savior complex."
Josh tried to flirt with Jackie in Love is Blind episode 8
At Chelsea’s birthday party, Jackie and Marshall arrived separately and revealed that they had a falling out. Josh, who almost fought for Jackie in the pods, was also invited to the party and immediately started to stir the pot between the couple. He seemed drunk and told Jackie that he loved her.
He also called Marshall “Mr. MBA Cryboy,” accusing him of flirting with all the girls in the pods. Josh asked Jackie why she used to talk to him in the pods. Jackie replied that they had a connection but never talked about their emotions.
Josh clarified that he cared about her and asked her to "pick" him if she was not going to marry Marshall. The episode ended on a cliffhanger, where Josh asked Jackie about her intentions to really marry Marshall.
Before their fight, the couple bonded well and Marshall's parents even gave them their blessing for the wedding. Jackie's parents, however, were not so sure about such a marriage.
Tune into the next three episodes of Love is Blind, which release on Netflix on Friday, April 7, to see if Jackie and Marshall are able to get over their big fight.
