Last night on Married At First Sight, viewers got another look at Nasser’s rapidly declining personality.
The Sydney local, who is matched with Gabrielle on the show, at first seemed to be doing all the right things: he was constantly telling his new wife how beautiful she is, always making sure she felt okay, and even took her to acting classes when he found out she used to perform.
But in the past few weeks, Nasser has changed significantly, prompting Gabrielle to write ‘leave’ at the last Commitment Ceremony. Rather than shake her husband into action (literally), Gabrielle seemed to push Nasser further away.
The night before last, he very seriously used the excuse that Gabrielle’s house was “possessed”, choosing instead to go and stay somewhere else.
Last night, things escalated further when Gabrielle asked her husband to spend more time with her and make more of an effort. “I’m not gonna stay here and deal with this s**t!” he replied, before leaving the apartment.
Now, in an interview with The Fix, Gabrielle has revealed that Nasser only seemed to show interest in her when the cameras were rolling.
“Unfortunately, his inflexibility and stubbornness and just no interest in being a part of the experiment other than fun activities meant that he really wasn’t there when the cameras weren’t there,” she said.
“Kerrie (Gabrielle’s twin sister) was, I think, quite panicked that I possibly completely wasted my time,” she continued.
“And she also knows me as someone who is used to getting a healthy level of attention from men, so to see this man really hasn’t even looked me in the eye or noticed me at all was something that left my sister feeling quite emotional because she really holds me at quite high esteem.”
