David and Lauren discuss family concerns in Love Is Blind season 8 episode 8

As they settled into their shared apartment, David and Lauren explored their differences in living habits. Lauren noted the minimal decor in David’s home, commenting on the "very blank walls."

Their conversation shifted to family concerns, particularly how their relatives viewed their participation in Love Is Blind. David mentioned that his sister was skeptical before he joined the experiment, having read exaggerated articles online. However, he believed she would accept Lauren once they met, saying,

"I think for the most part, honestly, she just needs to meet you."

Lauren then brought up her father’s stance on couples living together before marriage. She shared,

"My dad really doesn't like the fact that my brothers, like, lived with their significant others before they got married."

While he had not yet spoken to her about her own situation, she was uncertain how much he knew about the living situation. David, surprised, asked, "Does he know that we're living together?" He then expressed concern, stating,

What do you mean? He’s gonna come visit and find out? ‘Cause that’d be kind of scary. He added, "Well, I mean, we should make sure he knows that before he gets here."

Lauren reassured him she would clarify everything with her father.
