"Can you imagine how that makes me feel?"— Married at First Sight Australia star Ryan confronts Jacqui about messaging Jeff behind his back

In Married at First Sight Australia season 12 episode 15, after spending the night apart after Beth and Teejay's wedding, Ryan approached Jacqui to discuss her messages to Jeff. Before the conversation, however, he spoke to the cameras about their situation and said that the couple had not spoken since the incident.

Ryan criticized Jacqui's actions for messaging Jeff and wanting to meet him behind his back and said it was not done. Ryan added that he wanted to meet her and get "straight" answers, the truth, and "some apologies."

The two sat down to talk about the issue at hand and Ryan told the Married at First Sight Australia star that he wanted to "address the elephant" in the room.

"About you messaging Jeff behind my back, can you imagine how that makes me feel?" he asked.

Ryan recalled finding out about the messages at dinner and criticized her lack of honesty and trust. He asked why she sent the male cast member a message and Jacqui said Ryan was treating her "so badly." She added that she was "entitled" to reach out to him "out of desperation" because she wanted someone to speak to.

Ryan asked if she didn't think she was betraying him and Jacqui asked why he had an issue with her speaking to other people. The Married at First Sight Australia season 12 male cast member pointed out she messaged another "groom."

"You're allowed to have chats to people of the opposite s*x and for him to tell me otherwise, jeez. I like he's crossed the line," Jacqui said in a confessional.

She asked Ryan what he wanted from her and said she already explained herself. He responded that he wanted "consistency" and someone he could trust. Jacqui said if he wanted consistency, he needed to stop being disrespectful towards her.

Fans online reacted to the couple's issues online and felt both were to be blamed.
