Married at First Sight British fans criticized “cold” Laura Vaughan in Monday night’s episode after she “brutally” dumped her husband, Arthur Poremba.
During their second wedding ceremony, viewers saw the 34-year-old finance executive read an “unnecessarily cruel” speech to the 37-year-old tennis coach before leaving the wedding.
In the previous scenes, three of the couples, Laura and Arthur, Jordan and Erica, and Peggy and Georges, returned to their separate homes where they had five days to reflect on their decision.
After reflecting on their future together, they were reunited at a second ceremony where they read their vows and decided whether to stay together or leave the experiment.
Before their renewal, Arthur said, “I still think that sometimes we find ourselves in such a lucky situation.”
Ouch: Married At First Sight UK fans slammed Laura Vaughan as “cold” on Monday night’s episode after she “brutally” dumped her husband Arthur Poremba
Goodbye: During their second wedding ceremony, viewers saw the 34-year-old finance executive read an “unnecessarily cruel” speech to the 37-year-old tennis coach before leaving the wedding.
He added: “Laura is very important to me and I want to fight for her.”
Back at home, Laura spoke to one of her friends, who had already made her disapproval of Arthur clear in a previous heated argument.
She asked herself, “What if I leave now, but we’re on the verge of something good?” How do you know when to end a marriage?
At home, Arthur shared his fears: “We have something good going on and I think we can do it, but Laura’s friends might change their minds.”
And it seems that the tennis coach was right to doubt his bride, as Laura said during the ceremony: “The more I grow as a person, the more I become a part of you.”
She cheekily added: “I’ve always been a problem solver, but I realized this relationship can’t be fixed. “You’re perfect for someone, but it won’t be me.”
Speaking on camera afterwards, Laura admitted: “Arthur’s vows made it quite difficult for me, but I’m going forward with a lot more confidence.” “I will miss Arthur, but the ring is finished.”
Meanwhile, Arthur was visibly shaken by Laura’s words as he broke down in tears while discussing their wedding vows with a producer.
About: Laura said cheekily: “I’ve always been a problem solver, but I’ve realized that this relationship can’t be repaired.” You’re perfect for someone, but it won’t be me.
Horrific: Fans shared their thoughts on X/Twitter and were shocked by Laura’s ‘brutal’ speech. One post said: “So cold hearted!” I don’t even feel sorry for poor Arthur.
“It made me feel like crap. Ultimately I would have tried to make things work on the outside and I’m really upset that she didn’t feel that way,” he said.
Speaking to a producer off camera, Arthur added: “I really don’t know what else to say at the moment, I’m sorry.”
Share their thoughts
“It was so cruel. i don’t understand She could have been so much more beautiful!’ added another.
A third agreed: “Laura just revealed her true nature – she’s a mean person, it was unnecessarily cruel.”
“It was so callous, Arthur is a lovely boy and Laura always thought she was above him. “I hope he finds someone more down to earth,” wrote another.
“I hope Arthur finds a lover who will appreciate him and bring sunshine and sparkle into his life,” shared one fan.
Elsewhere, Jordan admitted to his mum that he would be moving to Edinburgh to be with Erica, admitting: “I’d rather do it and make the relationship work than not change and fail because of the distance.”
“When I make this last vow to her, I want it to be forever.”
Meanwhile, Erica shared some concerns with her friends and said she is still worried about the communication issues between them.
On the way home: “It was so numb Arthur is a lovely guy and Laura always felt like she was above him. I hope he finds someone more down to earth,” one fan wrote
But when it came to the contract extension, all her worries were put to rest when Erica confirmed: “You have shown me in the past few weeks that you are willing to work hard. “I hope that together we can become the best versions of ourselves.”
Fans of the series had to wait until Tuesday to find out the fate of Peggy and George’s marriage, as the episode ended on a cliffhanger.
Caught between George and her family, who still disapprove of him, Peggy breaks down during her vows. She admitted it was the “hardest decision of her life”.
“I’ve been thinking for the last few days if it can work or if the game is over for us?” she asked.
