Ryan and Beth discuss their issues in Married at First Sight Australia season 12 episode 26
In Married at First Sight Australia season 12 episode 26, Ryan used his letter to confront some of the things that Beth had said about his relationship with Jacqui. He asked her why she didn't talk to them when she had a problem instead of listening to other people's opinions about the couple.
His second question noted that it wasn't the couple's "duty" to "satisfy" Beth's confusion. Ryan asked what she wanted to clarify the most since she knew "very little" about him and Jacqui.
Beth told the Married at First Sight Australia star she didn't understand how their relationship could go from hot to cold quickly and said it didn't make sense to her.
"We don't give a sh*t anymore," Ryan told Beth.
The latter commented on Ryan's way of talking while in a confessional and said that his questions were starting to sink in. She responded that he was using the challenge as an opportunity to confront her and her behavior.
He further told her that she had spoken aggressively against him and his relationship with Jacqui. He asked if Beth conducted herself similarly in real life without having all the facts.
Beth told the cast member she had only heard and seen bad things about Ryan and Jacqui's relationship and said she was only going to have a positive impression of them.
