I am so ready for this MAFS recap. I think. I’m just not sure how much more Paige can take this season. I hope both his wife and his pregnant girlfriend tell him to hit the highway. It’s only day twelve and I already feel like it has been a lifetime. On this episode, everyone is going to chat with family and friends.
Briana & Vincent
I totally get where Vincent is coming from with his hurt feelings. Vincent apparently made it to the parking lot before he came back to the apartment. Briana is very disrespectful. Vincent seems to want to just move on. But I don’t think Briana understands what she did wrong. Later Vincent meets up with his friend, Jalen. Vincent tries to explain Briana’s constant biting comments. Jalen misses the point of what Vincent is trying to explain. He laughs during the whole story. Jalen is a dick too. Vincent clearly does not feel heard, once again.

They two have their families at their housewarming party. I think they are the only couple that had their families together for the first time. Both of their mothers are meeting for the first time. It’s also the first time Briana has met his mother and brother. Vincent’s mother speaks Spanish. I didn’t know he was Hispanic. Things seem to go well with the families.
Erik & Virginia
Virginia is in Savannah to be in a friend’s wedding. And Erik’s brother’s wedding is the same day so he is literally home alone. Erik and Ryan meet up while walking their dogs. Virginia is a bit standoffish with Erik at times. Then, Erik meets up with his friend Brandon. He explains that she is super independent parties too much. She’s in Savannah for four days. Brandon is worried that Erik is sort of over managing her. I disagree.

Virginia is finally back from her trip to Savannah. Erik explains that her dog is much calmer when she is not around. She makes her dog hyper. Also, apparently they texted every hour while she was gone. That’s excessive and would drive me nuts. Virginia didn’t seem happy about it either. Virginia is going to introduce her two best guy friends to Erik. This has the potential to go badly. Two of Erik’s friends also join the party. Virginia starts with the tequila shots. Oh God, one of Virginia’s guy friends pulls Erika on to the balcony to chat. He tells him not to come off as controlling. Erik doesn’t appreciate the advice. But eventually, they both think the conversation went well.O
Chris & Paige
Chris is meeting with who of his friends one is Pastor Dwight and the other is his friend Mikael. I’m surprised he has any friends. They guys seem to think his news will be that Paige is pregnant. Instead he tells them he’s asked her for a divorce. Then, once again he explains that he didn’t find her attractive when she walked down the aisle, in fact he muttered “oh fuck” when he saw her. Then he drops the baby mama drama on them. They are both speechless.

Finally, Pastor Dwight explains that Chris needs to learn what a commitment before God really means. Then he says, “You child, if it is your child, will be fine.” I too have some questions about paternity. They both think Chris is selfish and an embarrassment to his family. They do not support divorce. They both think Paige is “a diamond” and he should be working on the marriage. Then he checks out of the conversation entirely.
Haley & Jacob
Haley meets up with her friend and unloads about Jacob to her friends. Also, the way she tells the story is that it was supposed to be a girls night and a couple of the husbands showed up. I like how her friend asks her what she is going to do to make an effort. She gives good advice. Haley is still in it, at least for now. Haley and Jacob are having a fiesta party for their housewarming. It seems like Haley’s family bailed so she invited the other girls.

The party is awkward. And by the party I mean Jacob. But, bless his heart, he is trying. Haley’s friend tells Jacob that Haley is not the overly emotional type. Haley tends to flee at the first sign of conflict. Jacob’s friends like Haley. His friend basically says that Jacob needs someone who is very direct with him. He doesn’t always pick up on subtlety. On another night these two talk a bit. It seems like Haley is really trying. I want these two to work. I think they both are trying.
Girls Night/ Guys Night
It time for the brides to chat in one location and the grooms to chat in another. Haley, Briana and Clara are the only girls at the table. Clara invites the ladies to her housewarming. Clara had some trivial issue with Ryan when he didn’t want to do jello shots at a party. Haley seems to really be ready to work on her marriage with Jacob. Clara admits they have not had sex and she is ready for it. We have not seen Paige yet, this entire episode. I’m surprised she didn’t come to the girl’s night.

Jacob, Vincent, Erik and Ryan are together having some beers across town. Vincent feels some kinda way about never having alone time. Jacob seems like he is worried that at the end he may not be all in. Ryan says that he holds back on his emotions and Clara is always all in from the beginning.
Clara & Ryan
When I am writing these recaps I am only in a very small window so I have to scroll back and forth looking to the couple that is on the screen. I scrolled eleventy billion times looking for Clara and Ryan before I realized they haven’t had any screen time as a couple and we are three fourths of the way through the episode. That seems odd to me. But we are going straight her he housewarming with the other girls and Ryan’s friends. And they start with tequila shots. Briana makes a quick exit because she has plans with her husband.

Clara tells Ryan’s friends that she has never seen Ryan with his shirt off. She tells us she is sexually frustrated. It sounds like they are doing everything except actual intercourse. That would be frustrated.
Even More Chris & Paige
Chris called Paige to ask her to meet him and the baby mama the next day for a conversation. Paige says she has to pray on that. But, she ends up agreeing to meet with them. Chris and his baby Mama Mercedes (because of course) come to the meeting all dressed up like they are going out clubbing afterward. They are all super quiet. No one seems to speak first. Paige doesn’t even believe she is pregnant. She asks how far along she is and she says about seven weeks.

Mercedes says she had no idea that Chris was getting married. He didn’t tell her until after she told him she was pregnant. She says she was shocked and confused. Then, Paige just every so slyly drops the bomb that she had a pregnancy scare of her own. Mercedes asks, “Pregnant by who?” lol. Oh Paige you need to tell her that you guys had sex pretty much every day and twice on some days. Then Paige questions Chris’s intentions. Then Mercedes drops a bomb on Paige and says she has no intention of working things out with Chris.
Chris is hating every minute of this. And I love it. Paige tells Mercedes that this relationship no longer serves her. She has no ill feelings. Paige feels at peace with the whole situation. Mercedes asks Chris why he isn’t saying anything. Wait for it… HE is irritated. No dude you ARE the irritation. Chris storms out after saying that PAIGE was disrespectful. Holy Hell! She has been extremely respectful. The two women hug it out. Paige says she is okay with walking away at this point. Mercedes doesn’t want him either. So it’s a happy ending for both of them. Paige looks super sad at the end.
Next week it looks like the cracks show in the other marriages. I love this show!
Mercedes seemed surprised that Chris and Paige had sex. He is such a manipulative jerk– I’m trying to figure out why he came on the show.
I’m hopeful for the other couples, except for Erik and his wife. She doesn’t seem ready to settle into married life. Erik seems like the perfect husband since he’s gone for half of the month. As soon as he starts getting on her nerves- he’s gone.. seems like a win-win situation.
My theory about why Chris is on the show is that he watched Zach last season and thought that guys nothing compared to me. I’ll see his refusal to move in and raise it a recent broken engagement and a baby on the way.
Erik is my dream husband. He’s attractive, a pilot, so we would have free tickets to anywhere all the time, and he’s gone for half the month every month? THIS IS MY DREAM HUSBAND.
Sadly, I’m older enough to be his moth..errrr….much older sister. lol.
This is EXACTLY why I say Virginia hit the jackpot but doesn’t know it. I’m married to a major airline pilot/Air Force reservist. I fly free, have plenty of me time and swear by the fact that we aren’t together every day is the reason we are still happily married 30 years later! It’s a little difficult when you have young children but manageable.
I hope she wises up and slows down on the drinking!
I agree. She doesn’t know what a catch she has. But I feel like he will be worried about WTF she is doing when he is working.
Run Paige run. Its only going to get worse and don’t trap yourself with a baby
Chris is always irritated. I’m ready for him to go!
Unfortunately it also looks like Chris and Paige get back together according to the previews, and at this point, it’s all starting to look fake to me. However, I loved the moments with Chris’s Pastor and friend, and know that thinks would have ended very differently had the cameras not been around, because Chris was disrespectful to them. With all that said, it was clear that Chris wanted to be the one to end things. Since Paige put him in his place, maybe that’s making him want to continue?
I love that Briana’s mom knows how she can be. In that moment, Vincent finally felt validated. He and his family are Dominican BTW, or at least that’s what I’ve read.
I seemed to have missed until this episode that Eric is a Commercial and Military pilot. I’m wondering if he’s a Reserve or National Guard Officer, but it explains a lot about his nature and how he expects his wife to conduct herself, but I’m not texting anyone hourly. That’s too much.
Finally, if Clara is sexually frustrated age needs to have that conversation with Ryan, instead of her talking head and everyone else. I guess I just assumed when she said during the honeymoon that they had been “intimate” that meant full on sex, when it didn’t. If she hadn’t seen Ryan naked…perhaps there’s something he’s embarrassed about? Just saying.
Perhaps Ryan has a birthmark he hides? An accident or injury that’s left a scar? I think there’s a reason why he doesn’t undress in front of his wife that he doesn’t like to talk about?
Or maybe he’s Winnie The Poo..
He had his shirt off in Vegas by the pool
The Winnie comment made my night 🙂
I’m distracted by Clara’s badly toned blonde and ever increasing root situation. If you can’t upkeep your blonde, don’t dye your hair blonde! If your roots are that dark in less than two weeks, the world knows you aren’t natural girl.
Reminds of an old joke – You have such beautiful blonde hair, why do you dye your roots black ?. It’s from a Dick Van Dyke episode. I love those old shows
The whole conversation with Chris, Paige, and Mercedes was ridiculous. I would have said nothing, sat there, and finally said “You wanted this meeting. Here we are. Talk.” And then sat in silence. His reaction to his friends was rude and insulting, which is Chris when he’s not hearing what he wants to hear. Same thing with the Paige/Mercedes meeting. He wasn’t getting whatever the fuck he wanted so he became bitchy and insulting. More and more I don’t believe she’s pregnant. I think Chris concocted the story to save face while getting out of the marriage. There’s no saving face for him though because he constantly shows us who he really is.
I hope Paige is really done with him. She’s already dodged one pregnancy bullet. To become pregnant by this asshole would truly ruin her life. To be connected to him for the rest of her life would be a tragedy. He’s a true narcissist. Real narcissists leave a wake of destruction in their paths as they ceaselessly try to fill the void inside them. They lie, manipulate, cheat, gaslight, triangulate, obfuscate, deflect, and if all that doesn’t work they go on the attack. The only way a relationship with a narcissist ever works is if they always get their way and their mask never slips.
If Paige continues to try to make this work she is only hurting herself. And if the “experts ” allow that they should be sued for malpractice.
I agree about Eric being a catch. I was in a 12 year relationship with an ex-Green Beret who worked as a contractor in the mideast. He’d work two months then have a month off. He’d either come home or we’d meet somewhere. We met in Europe and had great trips there. We met for diving trips on exotic islands. For me it was ideal.
Now my partner and I are together ALL the time, especially because covid. We live in the sticks about half hour away from a small city. When I go to town I get texts from him starting about an hour after I leave. Sheesh, I just left and I’ll be back today! Unless it’s an emergency, why are you texting me?
Although I think Virginia is immature, has a good start on a drinking problem, and needs to get her priorities straight, the needier and clingier Erik acts the more she’s going to rebel. Texting every hour when they’re apart is too much.
Chris has a bad attitude and will make for a great first husband for her- in the words of Mr. Jax Taylor 🤪
I still do not understand why Chris asked Paige to meet with him and his ex/baby mama. It had to be for television only because there was no need. He felt Paige was disrespectful, but don’t seem to think his behavior from day one was not disrespectful towards Paige. I’m not attractive to her, telling her family she is not the type of woman I’m usually attractive too. Sleeping with her numerous times while not being attractive to her. It is a very bad look for people who claim to know God.
Where is Paige family? Why aren’t they there for support and to tell this girl to run as fast as she can. Why aren’t the experts putting a stop to this huge mistake they made?
I keep trying to remember if her family came to the wedding. Or if friends did. Or if ANYONE did.
Remember Chris telling the bridesmaids she wasn’t his normal type because he usually dated pretty women? So her friends were there and tried to clue her in about what Chris was saying.
Now I can’t remember about her family either. Apparently our dementia is rubbing off on each other.
1. There is a cultural difference between Briana and Vincent. Yes she’s bossy but in regards to the champagne incident she was joking. An African American wouldn’t have reacted like Vinny.(hence why his friend laughed at him). African American couples generally give each other shit. Vinny is Dominican they are used to a different type of woman. More accommodating and docile.
2. Chris is an asshole
Vincent is waaay too sensitive
Then I am too. I don’t give a shit what people here say that aren’t even posters. I have a pretty hard shell. But teasing from my older siblings, people who are close to me, people I love, is hurtful. There is a difference once you let someone in.
Agree totally, tt. There is a difference between making a joke or giving someone a hard time and SNIPING. What Briana does is sniping. Sniping is making critical remarks that aren’t funny or putting someone down under the guise of being a joke. This is what he’s objecting too and rightfully so.
Did you see how she spoke to him in the episode where she was making him use some sort of skin care towelette? They were both standing in front of a bathroom mirror using the towelettes and when he was done she told him Put that in the trash in a very harsh tone of voice like he was an idiot. She spoke to him like he was a child or a subordinate. I thought oh oh because people who do that do it often and it’s very demeaning.
I understood exactly where he’s coming from. He’s been a good sport to roll with it as long as he has. The situation with the champagne she was sniping at him and I would have had a problem with being spoken to like that as well.
