Married At First Sight groom Bryce Ruthven and Melissa Rawson are still struggling to trust each other in the experiment.

‘Surely Bryce realises he’s hurting Melissa with his remarks and she’s upset and insecure,’ one fan wrote, angrily. 

Another said they were furious that Bryce was the person being apologised to, even accusing him of gaslighting his new bride. 

‘Why does Melissa keep apologising to Bryce. Wow this woman has a poor view of herself. She should tell this idiot to go and f himself and leave the show.’
