Married At First Sight UK’s Emma Barnes and husband Caspar Todd quit the show during Monday night’s episode, calling time on their short-lived marriage.
Emma, 31, was in floods of tears during the commitment ceremony as she told the experts she wanted to leave the experiment.
Caspar, 34, who also chose to leave the show, agreed with Emma that they both weren’t the right match for each other and kept clashing.
In the past few weeks, Emma told Caspar she didn’t know if she liked him enough to stay in their marriage.
It caused Caspar to feel a lot of resentment towards Emma and started to get nasty back.
Casper said: ‘I was explaining emotional vulnerability to Emma and she snapped at me and said I don’t know whether I like you enough.
‘For me it was just like what are we working for? I felt I didn’t deserve that comment.
‘In the nicest possible way, I wanted to leave last week. I’ve put a lot of effort into this. I thought “you know what, if that’s what she thinks of me, why am I here?”‘
Emma said: ‘We go round in circles and I don’t want to blurt out everything we’ve done to p*** each other off this week.’
At they pair spoke to experts Paul Brunson, Mel Schilling and Charlene Douglas, the sad, but amicable break up pulled on fans heartstrings.
Casper said: ‘I’m not as positive as Emma, I don’t have that natural “things are going to be okay”.
‘We feel sad because we came here for love. Emma is fantastic in a lot of ways.
‘But I need someone who is emotionally vulnerable as I am, someone to need me more than Emma would ever need me. She’s a very strong, independent women.’
Melanie Schilling asked: ‘Emma can you give Casper what he needs?’
Emma said: ‘Oh I’m going to cry. I need to be more emotionally vulnerable and I can be in the right situations, I can, but I need to be loved in order to love.’
Casper said: ‘I think Emma is a lovely person but for me, I don’t feel a romantic spark. I wrote, “leave”.
‘I’ve done a lot of reflection in the last 24 hours, I’ve thrown everything into our relationship. So I feel like it’s the right time, definitely. I wrote “leave”, Emma said.
She added: ‘I do think every man and women needs to be treated like a king or queen in a relationship.’
‘We didn’t come in here and think oh it’s not going to work but I think we just struggled to make that middle ground’, Casper added.
At the start of their marriage, the gardener admitted he didn’t feel a ‘sexual spark’ with Emma after she wore a bikini for the first time on their honeymoon in Jamaica, saying he prefers a ‘petite woman’ over a curvaceous size 14 figure.
Speaking with Emma’s best friends he said: ‘I’ve never fancied curvier women.’
‘Oh no, no, no, no,’ Emma’s pal exclaimed in response.
‘That was poor delivery. You can’t say that,’ his wife said before tears began rolling down her face.
‘That is not a very nice thing to say,’ her friend added before saying to Emma, ‘Right now, I don’t think he’s the man for you.’
Caspar previously accused the E4 show of ‘f***ing with his life’ by pairing him with bride Emma.
During their honeymoon, he told Emma, ‘I haven’t felt that spark I was hoping to feel… I have rarely gone for the curvier person,’ before replying ‘no’ when she asked: ‘Do you think I’m sexy?’
Caspar also confessed to being turned off by Emma after comparing the sales manager to his twin sister, Daisy, saying the two have similar personalties and mannerisms.
But now he has blamed E4 producers for setting him up to fail, insisting he and Emma are ‘different on so many levels.’
Speaking to the show’s relationship experts during the first commitment ceremony, Caspar expressed his frustration over being matched with Emma.
He said: ‘Emma told me that I was her type on the wedding day but I wasn’t feeling it. I haven’t found her sexy and I have seen some of the same mannerisms with my sister as well.
‘I tried to do it in the nicest way possible and I failed at that. If I lied, would that have been better?’
Capsar continued: ‘I don’t understand how the process got me to Emma. We are so different on so many levels. I don’t understand and I don’t get it and it’s really frustrating because this is my life you are f***ing with.’
He was quizzed by Charlene Douglas, Mel Schilling and Paul Brunson over his cruel behaviour and the dating gurus questioned whether Casper was truly concerned with hurting Emma’s feelings.
Charlene asked: ‘But can you see how hurtful it might be say to your partner that I’m not into curvy girls, can you hear how that could land?’ as Casper admitted: ‘Yes, obviously, yeah.’
After being insulted by his brutal honesty, Emma told Caspar on their honeymoon that he needed to look at himself and his reasons behind entering the dating experiment before criticising her appearance.
