"I'm not trying to possess or control you" - The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On stars Nick apologizes to Sandy
Nick and Sandy returned to their original dynamic in The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On season 3 episode 7 after experiencing their trial marriages with Venessa and J.R. respectively.
In the episode, after returning for the Change Over segment, Nick sat down with Sandy and expressed what she meant to him. He shared how he felt broken without her and that she belonged with him.
"You and I have the most deep spiritual connection of anybody I've ever met in my life. I can sit there, meditate with your eyes, be with you, and feel a different presence than anything I've ever felt or experienced. That's why I was like, 'This is my soulmate, the person I'm supposed to be with the rest of my life,'" he continued.
The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On star reflected on how their trial marriages helped him recognize how much he "lacked" in meeting her needs. He admitted feeling hurt as he watched Sandy interact with J.R. in the same way she once did with him.
Sandy in response added that Nick had unleashed all of his "demons" after feeling isolated during the experience. She explained how his internal struggles had significantly shaped his journey, making it especially challenging for her to navigate.
Nick, however, felt that he wasn't imagining things out of the blue. He further expressed that while her kissing J.R. wasn't wrong, it still hurt him. He didn't want her to be close to anyone but him.
The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On contestant clarified that he wasn't trying to possess or control her, instead he was simply worried because she was his person.
Sandy understood where Nick was coming from, however, she still felt that he was possessive and controlling.
"You know in your right mind, this is what we knowingly stepped into. What you wanted to do. And we both talked about it before, like, not really worried. Obviously, not actually knowing what it was gonna be like. I had no idea that it was gonna be this difficult. I know you didn't. You really, really hurt me," she continued.
Nick responded that he lost himself trying to her undivided attention and explained that he wasn't trying to love-bomb instead he rather loved her since the day he met her. The cast member shared that he envisioned a future with her and expressed that he never wanted to see her hurt because of him again.
"You are an amazing person. You are the kindest, deepest lover I've ever experienced. I love you and I care about you. I never wanted you to feel alone or that I wasn't actually here with you," Sandy responded.
