Married At First Sight UK Season 10 Episode 17: Couples attend the third Commitment Ceremony, where experts share their thoughts on their relationship

The recently released Married At First Sight UK Season 10 Episode 17 featured couples at the third Commitment Ceremony. One of them was Joe and Maeve.

The experts asked how they were feeling. Joe replied that he felt a bit weird. He then opened up about a death in his family, which Maeve knew about. But he didn't share that with anyone else because he didn't want the negative energy to spread.

One of the experts, Paul C. Brunson, asked Joe the reason behind not sharing certain things with Maeve. He responded that it was because he wanted her to have the best time possible there.

Listening to him, Married At First Sight UK star Maeve replied that she thought she could not be there for him because he didn't share with her.

"Then I feel awful. Do you know what I mean? Like, I can't do my best if you don't tell me what's going on. Like, we're acting like everything's fine but, it's not fine. It's okay if it's not fine," added Maeve.

Joe reflected on his past relationships and opened up to the experts. He noted that he had observed that he doesn't share negative things with his partner. It was because he didn't want to share negative energy or negative matters with them. He looks forward to positive and good things and only shares them.

The expert told him that it might be because Joe was not able to fully trust his partner. Once fully trusted and shared things with, he would be able to connect better emotionally.

Further in the Commitment Ceremony, the expert Paul C. Brunson told Maeve to describe herself in three words.

"Loud, I'm outgoing, and I am quite opinionated," replied Maeve.

The expert told her that it was definitely not who they had seen in the last few weeks. He asked her where "that Maeve" went.

Maeve laughed and replied that she didn't know. The expert asked her if that had anything to do with the fact that Joe was calm.

"I don't know, like, I feel like you have calmed me down, and I do enjoy that. But there's still that side of me that's a little bit, like, f*cking nuts! Do you know what I mean?" shared Maeve.

Married At First Sight UK expert Paul noted that there was calm, but there was also a compromise of who she was. It was to make her partner happy. Maeve agreed to what the expert suggested.

The expert also told Joe about compromising by not sharing his true feelings. According to the experts, it meant that Joe was not as emotionally connected as they thought he was.
