Married At First Sight season 17’s final Decision Day is coming for Chloe Brown and Michael Shiakallis, but will her unreasonable demands push him away from their nearly-successful marriage? Michael’s MAFS journey has been historic for the series, and his wedding to Chloe was a first in franchise history. Chloe was originally one of Michael’s potential matches, and when his first bride got cold feet and left him at the altar, the experts felt they could re-match him to allow him to have the true MAFS experience. Micheal was matched with Chloe, who was happy to be part of MAFS.
While the experts felt nervous that Chloe may be resentful that she was technically Michael’s second bride of the season, she understood that things had been out of his control and ultimately was happy to be in the experience with him. The couple’s marriage has been relatively problem-free, which is surprising on Married At First Sight. Typically, issues arise in the marriages quickly, but Michael and Chloe have managed to find common ground on most of the points of tension they’ve faced thus far. Unfortunately, Chloe has been pushing unreasonable demands that could leave their relationship over after Decision Day.
Chloe’s Relationship With Michael Has Been Positive
Typically, marriages on MAFS struggle as the couples adjust to their new normal and get to know one another better. While some couples can work off their inst inctual, base-level attraction to one another, the majority of marriages find it tough to get to a place where they can be intimate and casual in that intimacy. Chloe and Michael have been a rare match that have stayed together successfully in their relationship throughout their time on Married At First Sight season 17. The couple have worked through most of their differences and gotten to know each other on a deep level.

Chloe Is Asking For Things To Move Quickly After Decision Day
While Michael and Chloe have had a shorter amount of time to get to know one another, she has been asking for things to move quickly after Decision Day if they choose to stay together. Michael and Chloe have five pets between them, which has been something that has bonded the couple, but also creates some tension for them as they are struggling to find somewhere that they can afford to live together with all of their pets after Decision Day. Michael has suggested they live separately until they find something that meets their needs, but Chloe finds this hurtful.
Chloe’s Demands Are Making Michael Question Their Marriage
While Michael and Chloe have prioritized having an honest, open line of communication, the couple has struggled to see eye-to-eye regarding their future living situation. Michael suggested living apart, which Chloe didn’t feel was an option for them. In understanding that they’re differing on the conflict between them, Michael thought more about his marriage to Chloe and began to feel some doubts surrounding whether they should continue their relationship after Decision Day. He shared that he feels emotionally drained at times, and is wondering if it’s simply the Married At First Sight experience, or if their relationship is to blame.
