Married At First Sight UK bride Grace Law broke down in tears after the ‘hardest week’ of the experiment so far – and admitted that her and husband Ashley Dommett were ‘bringing out the worst in each other’ at damning commitment ceremony on Monday.
The mental health nurse, 31, and operations director, 35, tied the knot as part of this year’s series of the E4 show.
The couple got off to a rocky start, but as the weeks have gone on, they have managed to make things work.
However in recent episodes, the pair have been arguing more since the retreat, and at the commitment ceremony, Grace got very emotional as she spoke about their issues.
After opening up about how she felt uncomfortable with Ashley’s relationship with co-star April Holmes, 31, Grace gave her verdict on if she wanted to stay or leave the experiment.

After opening up about how she felt uncomfortable with Ashley’s relationship with co-star April Holmes, 31, Grace gave her verdict on if she wanted to stay or leave the experiment
Grace said: ‘This has been the hardest week. One of the things that was so important to me coming into this, was being with a partner that brings out the very best in me.
‘I really felt like we were bringing out the worst in each other.
‘We’d agreed that we were both done, and when we tried to get back together, we had another huge big argument.
‘I felt like I was losing myself a little bit. I think I was focusing on the negative, when we do have so much positive.
‘Although I started to feel like I couldn’t see the wood from the trees, I was getting really lost.
‘I knew if we left I would miss you so much, I don’t want to be apart from you, so I have chosen to stay.’
Ashley went on to share his views, explaining that he was growing strong feelings and wanted to also stay.
When the pair said ‘I do’ last month, it didn’t get off to a good start as Grace burst into tears at the wedding and fans blasted the experts for a ‘mismatch’.
Despite their issues, Ashley and Grace decided to stay in the experiment for another week
Feminist Grace thought that the pair had opposing views, but Ashley has changed where he can to make sure that she is happy.
But recently Ashley and April’s interest in one another caused concern for Grace.
They aren’t the only couple that have had a bad week.
Married At First Sight UK fans raged ‘this is classic gaslighting!’ after a groom finally showed his true colours in a ‘manipulative’ row on Sunday’s episode.
Newlyweds Maeve Mathieson, 30, and Joe Wood, 31 – who tied the knot seconds after meeting for the first time – have had a rough few weeks in the experiment.
The pair appeared to be going from strength to strength, with personal trainer Joe admitting that he was in love with Maeve.
But things took a dramatic turn after Joe had a family bereavement, which saw him head home for a bit.
This made him start to think about all the the doubts he had in his head about the relationship – but Maeve has very much been left out of the loop with his feelings.

Newly-weds Maeve Mathieson, 30, (pictured) and Joe Wood, 31 – who tied the knot seconds after meeting for the first time – have had a rough few weeks during the experiment
They met up during the recent episode of the show and Joe told her: ‘Maybe we could make things, or try and make things work…
Maeve asked: ‘What did you say to Ashley at the spa?’
Last week Joe opened up to his co-star about how he wasn’t sure if he was in love with Maeve.
Joe replied: ‘What do you mean?’
He continued: ‘I said what I said to you. That like we’ve got problems, there’s big differences, but I still love you and care about you. That’s what I said.’
‘Well that’s not what I’ve been told,’ Maeve replied.
Maeve fumed: ‘You were asked a question – if you had any feelings towards me, and apparently you didn’t say anything.’
Joe replied: ‘I can’t f***ing recite it word for word. He said “Do you love her?” And I said “Yeah I do love her in a certain way, but are we deeply, madly in love, probably not”.
Joe told Maeve about his conversation with Ashley: ‘I can’t f***ing recite it word for word. He said “Do you love her?” And I said “Yeah I do love her in a certain way, but are we deeply, madly in love, probably not”‘
‘That’s what I said… because we’re not? It’s nota big deal.’
Maeve told him: ‘Well it is a big of a big deal when you’re saying one thing to him and another to me.
‘You’ve said you love us on the couch and the next thing I feel like we’re a proper couple and then the next time I was doing it I was by myself.
‘Have you ever thought about my point of view in this? No.
‘I’ve been crying for a week man. It’s not okay.’
Joe asked: ‘What am I meant to do? This is the problem. We can’t just have a conversation.
‘It’s clear that there’s like a massive issue with our communication.’
Maeve said: ‘You’re making out like I’m always the problem.’
Joe said: ‘I’m really confused as to how what I’ve said is making out you’re the problem.’
