Love is Blind: Mexico star Fernanda claims Gerardo "deceived" her

During their date, Gerardo questioned Fernanda about their last argument. She explained that the "small things" people often overlooked mattered to her. Making her coffee and saying goodnight before bed were intimate gestures that made her feel loved.

"And these very small things start to add up and are important," said Fernanda.

Gerardo sang an original song to make it up to her. The Love is Blind: Mexico cast member admitted she "felt so in love" hearing her beau sing.

When the couple discussed their living arrangement, Gerardo revealed he did not want his "house full of dog hair," insisting Argos stayed outside and eventually transitioned inside the house. When he asked Fernanda if she wanted to move to his hometown, Monterrey, she replied, "I don't know."

"I have to really think about how I feel, and see what's best for Fernanda," said Fernanda.

Gerardo complained to his friends at the bachelor party about Fernanda's "controlling" behavior. He also mentioned that she struggled with time management. Although she was "organized" and handled the expenses wisely, there were "some non-negotiables."

He added that Fernanda thought he was "lazy" when actually, he hiked once every week and led a healthy lifestyle.

Meanwhile, Fernanda spoke to one of her friends and said:

"For the barbeque, they asked him what kind of meat he wanted, but he didn't ask what I wanted."

She complained that "that dude" had no interest in getting to know her. She felt "deceived" by his change of heart. The Love is Blind: Mexico cast member said she was "tricked" when he said he did not love her.

After returning from the party, Gerardo insisted on sleeping in the living room, which angered Fernanda. Feeling cornered, she ultimately had an emotional outburst.

"You're a f**king j*rk. That's what you are," said Fernanda.

Fernanda believed Gerardo did not love her at all. She urged him to end their "sh*tty relationship" since they were not in love. She accused him of being a coward who failed to confront his feelings. Fernanda's abusive language shocked Gerardo.

She then covered the cameras with a blanket and started to break things in the apartment. Meanwhile, her Love is Blind: Mexico partner stared in disbelief. She accused him of acting like a victim when it was him who was at fault.

"You've been full of sh*t since day one. I can't stand to even look at you," said Fernanda.

After their bitter fight, Gerardo left the apartment. Later in the episode, he met Fernanda and discussed how the "wholesome love" they felt for each other "became incompatible."

They agreed they were never going to last. Fernanda and Gerardo thanked each other for the learning experience and walked away.
