Josh Pihlak and Cathy Evans’ relationship started off strong on Married At First Sight, but it wasn’t to be, with the couple tearfully splitting on Sunday night.
Now fans have taken to social media to reveal what they believe is the real reason their union went pear shaped.
‘Bonking the living daylights out of each other right from the start doesn’t make a relationship strong,’ one fan wrote.
‘Bonking the living daylights out of each other doesn’t make a relationship strong’: Married At First Sight fans have revealed the real reason Josh Pihlak and Cathy Evans split up on the show following Sunday night’s episode
While another added: ‘Josh and Cathy are why you shouldn’t rush into ”intimacy”. Get to know someone first’, one fan wrote.
Yet another tweeted: ‘Cathy and Josh shows physical attraction only gets you so far.’
Josh, 28, and Cathy, 26, had a disastrous commitment ceremony on Sunday night.
This followed Cathy clashing with Josh’s mother Mandy during home-stay week.
Fools rush in! A number of fans hit out at the couple, and their fast-moving intimacy
In the episode, Cathy argued that she ‘tried to engage’ with Josh during their stay in Newcastle, but he just felt she ‘didn’t want to be there’.
As they sat on the sofa, Cathy said to Josh: ‘You always address issues within our relationship, which I’m unaware of, in a public space. First time with your mum, then at the dinner party and then at the commitment ceremony last week.
‘It’s not fair and like you’re trying to embarrass me. I went into the last commitment ceremony feeling light and positive, then you said there were issues, that really hurt.’
Over! Cathy argued that she ‘tried to engage’ with Josh during their stay in Newcastle, but he just felt she ‘didn’t want to be there’
Cathy continued: ‘I was wondering why he does this to me? I then had the revelation that after all of this time it still feels like he doesn’t know me. It hurts that you think I didn’t try.’
In response, Josh said: ‘I still do care about Cathy a lot. I’m sorry for hurting you, it was never my intention. I came here to find love. I know I have many flaws, but I’ve been through so much with you.
‘Our wedding was one of the funnest days I’ve ever had – she made me feel so warm.’
Sad: Josh said: ‘I still do care about Cathy a lot. I’m sorry for hurting you, it was never my intention’ before the pair hugged
Cathy then opted to ‘leave’ the experiment, with Josh later offering a parting hug.
The couple had fireworks immediately after being paired on the show, admitting they had an intimate connection soon after their wedding.
Sitting on the bed at the end of their ceremony, Cathy said suggestively: ‘So, are you, um, going to want to have a cuddle or just go straight to sleep?’
The couple later admitted to their intense sexual chemistry.
Married At First Sight continues Monday at 7.30pm on Channel Nine
