episode 3

Oh this is painful to watch. It's such an unfair situation - of COURSE the new people are going to seem better, more fun to be around, because there's no baggage or past hurt/history there. I'm sure they ALL started out thinking their partner was fun, attractive, kind, cheerful, whatever...but after conflicts and fights, etc, those "fun" things got overpowered by disappointment, resentment, anger, confusion, etc. That's a normal part of any relationship and not everyone has the skills to work through that well...the answer is not just meeting a new person. I wish they could have a crystal ball and see 8 months, 5 years, whatever, into the future and see the issues they'd be having with the NEW person down the road. I'd like to see a reality show like this where there is a therapist on hand to counsel couples as they were going through these processes.Clearly some of the couples have some BIG issues between them and are perhaps not meant to be together...but man this seems like such a cruel route to take to make the decision whether to stay or go.But yes I'm still watching, ha ha, it's like a car accident on the side of the road. You KNOW you shouldn't look, people are hurt and it's none of your business but DAMN is it hard to look away.
