Love is Blind: Mexico star Gerardo thinks Fernanda has abandonment issues

Fernanda got upset when Gerardo fell asleep without saying goodnight. They had previously agreed to devote time to strengthening their physical connection. So, when she saw Gerardo's lack of interest, she said:

"I didn't feel good about how he went to bed. Not even a "good night." He just went to sleep. What's up with that? It didn't sit right with me at all."

The following morning, the Love is Blind: Mexico cast member confronted Gerardo about his demeanor. She expressed she was displeased because he just "turned over and passed out" while she tried to get close to him. It seemed like a disrespectful thing to do according to her.

In his defense, Gerardo said she focused a lot on the negatives.

"I don't know if this is normal for you to react this way. I don't know if you're seeing what you want to see. I have a totally different view," said Gerardo.

Fernanda confessed physical intimacy played a crucial role in a relationship, but Gerardo refused to accept it. While speaking to the cameras, Gerardo revealed that his falling asleep was misunderstood by Fernanda, who thought he denied pursuing a physical connection with her.

The Love is Blind: Mexico cast member criticized him for being inconsiderate towards her. She pointed out that he did not bother to ask what she wanted to eat at the barbecue party. She confessed she felt upset when he did not include her in his daily activities.

"My perspective is that Fernanda has a lot of trauma in the area of abandonment. I don't know where it comes from. She felt abandoned in this instance, right? So that exacerbated everything," said Gerardo.

The Love is Blind: Mexico star defended himself by stating that he always considered her preferences before his own. He claimed he did not watch TV despite enjoying it solely because Fernanda was not a fan.

His comments angered her and she left with her dog to go on a walk.

"I'm not feeling supported and I don't feel loved. So this is me leaving," said Fernanda.

Later in the episode, Gerardo apologized to her for making her feel unwanted. The couple embraced and reconciled.
