Married At First Sight bride Rebecca Zukowski called time on her relationship with husband Steve Powell during Sunday night's explosive episode, leaving the show in fury.
During the second Commitment Ceremony, Rebecca, 51, told relationship expert John Aiken that she had been completely unable to form a romantic connection with Steve, 50.
'I came into this experiment wanting to find love. I was open, authentic and here for all the right reasons,' Rebecca began.
'When I met Steve, we had a connection. I thought the experts had got it right. We had a great wedding and honeymoon. But as soon as I started saying I need this from you, voicing my needs and wants, I felt unheard in the relationship.'
Rebecca said she felt like she had been matched with someone who was not 'all in' with her.
Steve agreed that he was not on the same page as Rebecca and that there was a 'complete disconnect' in how they both saw their relationship.

The pair then both made the unsurprising decision to leave the experiment, as they admitted they did not think their relationship could be salvaged.
'It's been going downhill. I choose to Leave,' Steve said.
'I came here for love and did not get what I wanted. I am not going to settle and waste any more of my time, I write Leave,' Rebecca told both Steve and the experts.
In a shock moment, Steve then apologised to series expert Alessandra Rampolla for previously speaking over her - and Rebecca asked him where her apology was.
'With all these apologies going around, where's mine for this experience?' Rebecca sniped at Steve.
Steve then told Rebecca that they had enjoyed some 'amazing times' together even if they didn't have an 'ideal finish'.
'Yeah, it's been f***ing great,' Rebecca sniped, as she exited the room.
Daily Mail previously exclusively reported that the pair had called time on their relationship.

In explosive footage obtained by Daily Mail on August 21, Rebecca confirmed she had 'had enough' and took a brutal swipe at her on-screen husband, dubbing him a 'Temu George Clooney' as she walked away from the experiment.
The mother-of-one appeared defiant rather than defeated in her shock exit interview, making it clear she was not prepared to settle for less than she deserved.
'I'm used to all of this, can I just say. I'm used to this carrying my own bags, paying my own bills,' she complained as she made her way through the airport terminal.
Rebecca insisted she had never needed a man to define her.
'I don't need a man,' she laughed, before cheekily labelling Steve a 'Temu George Clooney.'
In a pointed dig clearly aimed at Steve, she then laughed off the comparison, labelling him a bargain-bin version of the Hollywood icon.
The outspoken bride also made it clear she had no shortage of options outside the experiment.
'And to my DMs,' she said confidently. 'And I'm ready for it. I'm ready for love. I came here for love. I didn't quite get what I wanted.'
Despite calling it quits, Rebecca admitted she would jump at the chance to return as an intruder if producers could guarantee her a better match.
Married At First Sight continues Monday 7:30pm on Channel Nine.
