‘Married at First Sight’ Sneak Peek: Haley & Jacob Write Letters to Their Younger Selves (VIDEO)
Married at First Sight‘s 12th season is nearing Decision Day and awkward couple Haley and Jacob, who occupy separate parts of their living space, still have a lot to think over before committing for the long haul.
In an exclusive sneak peek at the April 14 episode, the duo tries to loosen things up with an exercise assigned by the experts. Will it be the breakthrough they’ve been looking for?
“Every couple is on their own, unique marriage journey, but sometimes we encourage some extra work,” explains Dr. Pepper Schwartz in the clip above. “This exercise requires each person to write a letter to their younger self at a significant point in their life.”
The goal, she says, “is to have each spouse reveal something new and vulnerable about themselves so they can connect more deeply as a couple. But will the letters have the desired effect, or drive Haley and Jacob even further apart than they already are? To refresh your memories, Haley has not wanted to get intimate Jacob, and admitted on the last episode that a past relationship in which she was controlled by her partner is the reason for her walls.

Haley takes time to think through her words, but Jacob seems less interested, finishing his writing long before she comes to join him on the couch.

She has no interest in him whatsoever to the point of being condescending to him. The bracelet was so much more than a piece of jewelry, but her ,on her own pedestal, couldn’t see that. She obviously sees herself so much better than him in every sense of the word. However, she needs to do some soul searching about why she has been single to the point she got on the show. He’s smart, good looking and charming . She needs to look beyond her own nose.

I've liked Haley up to this point but I now feel she is so condescending to Jacob, constantly judging what he wears & how poorly he did in the batting cage, etc. You could see when they played mini-golf she was not at all happy with him doing better than her. Her disregard & mocking of him regarding the bracelet he gave her on their wedding day was so rude & for her mother to agree with her.... not nice! Even Dr. Pepper's comments did not help her to realize that her actions were disrespectful. After their meeting she called her mother & continued to mock the bracelet situation. Who would want to be with such a demeaning, condescending woman.... Jacob is not perfect & he comes out with some comments that make for an awkward situation but Haley needs some 'fixing' as well.

I don’t think that Haley and Jacob are incompatible as much as I think that she just isn’t sincerely trying. You can see in her facial expressions, not to mention her verbiage that she judges nearly everything Jacob says and does. She seems to be genuinely nasty and unkind, disrespectful, dismissive and stingy of spirit. No wonder she’s that way, though. Her mother seems to condone and share this negativity. I was appalled when her mother didn’t correct her behavior surrounding the bracelet! Don’t get me wrong, I agree about the sentiment that when you give a gift, you should give freely and sincerely from your heart, but in this case, Haley just totally disregarded and trivialized this gesture from her husband. When she found out he was hurt by this, she should have apologized and corrected the situation instead of brushing him off. She’s a contemptible person!

This couple won't work well together. She is her own person, and does not honor him in any way. Only her perspective counts.
