Married At First Sight season 18 couple David Trimble and Michelle Tomblin’s marriage seemed doomed from the start. Michelle, 38, decided to get married at first sight after being single for six years. She was eager to find her soulmate and start a family despite her unsuccessful dating history. Meanwhile, David, 35, joined the show after ending a 12-year relationship. He’s extremely close with his family and finds inspiration in his parents’ strong marriage.
Although they are a good match on paper, David and Michelle’s differences emerged immediately. Michelle spent their wedding crying in the bathroom, while David was completely oblivious. Things continued to spiral downward on their Mexican honeymoon. Michelle really shut down and was disinterested in getting to know her new spouse. She asked for space, leaving David to spend their honeymoon alone.
David and Michelle’s problems started when she learned that he still lived with his parents. She called his living situation a “turn off” and couldn’t move past her disgust. Michelle assumed that David was unmotivated and couldn’t take care of himself. She said she wanted a husband who would “match my lifestyle,” insinuating David’s goals didn’t align with hers.
David explained that his reasons for living with his parents were purely financial, but Michelle wasn’t convinced. She was fixated on David’s living situation, and it shaped her opinion about him. David tried to connect with Michelle by asking about her family in the hopes of understanding why she was so bothered. However, Michelle immediately asked why he wanted to know, which proves that she had no intention of building a connection with her new husband.
