"Only listen to yourself” — Love is Blind star Alex calls out Tim’s communication style

The Love Is Blind Season 7 reunion brought unresolved tensions back into focus as cast members revisited their experiences from the pods. Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, the reunion saw couples and former flames reflect on their journey and address lingering conflicts.

One of the most intense exchanges came when Alex confronted her ex, Tim, over his communication style in Love is Blind reunion. According to Alex, she felt sidelined, with conversations and decisions often centered around Tim’s preferences rather than her own.

"You literally are so long-winded and only listen to yourself," she said.

For Alex, a pivotal moment in her frustration with Tim’s communication style came when she was stressed over her father’s health. Recounting a particular night when she only wanted to shower and sleep, Alex explained that Tim took issue with her need for space, despite expecting it for himself when he needed time alone.

Alex's confrontations in Love is Blind reunion

During the Love is Blind reunion, Alex spoke openly about her challenges in communicating with Tim, noting how his lengthy responses often left her feeling unheard. She reflected on a time when overwhelmed with worry about her father’s health, she wanted a night to herself.

“It’s always on your terms. Never mine,” she said, describing her frustration with his tendency to dominate conversations.

However, according to Alex, Tim’s reaction was unsupportive and dismissive. She explained that while Tim freely took space when needed, he did not grant her the same. This lack of reciprocity became a significant barrier to their connection, preventing them from addressing important issues effectively.

Tim, visibly taken aback by her criticism, defended his approach, explaining that he believed he was expressing his love by trying to make himself clear.

"I hate the fact that our worst moment is the moment everybody wants to hear about the most," he said.

He felt that his detailed way of speaking came from a desire to show Alex his thoughts fully. However, this style clashed with Alex’s need for a more balanced exchange, leading to frequent tension between them.

Tim's perspective in the Love is Blind reunion

For Tim, Alex’s comments at the Love is Blind reunion were unexpected and left him feeling attacked. He admitted he was surprised by her directness, saying,

“Why are you trying to come for me when all I’m doing is showing you love?”

Tim felt that he had been genuine in his efforts to communicate openly, though he acknowledged that his style might have come across as one-sided. Despite his attempts to explain, he struggled to address Alex’s concerns without feeling like he was under fire.

"I've never been in an argument like that with somebody," he said.

Their differing perspectives on communication ultimately highlighted the reasons behind their breakup. Alex and Tim’s conversation took a confrontational turn when Alex mentioned an off-camera fight they had in Mexico, further illustrating their unresolved issues.

While Tim believed he was showing his love, Alex felt he was too self-centered in his conversations, leading them to have differences in opinions about the relationship.
