Married At First Sight’s Dave Hand is facing the end of his romance with Jamie Marinos.

After a disastrous Homestays week, the pair were ‘separated’ after Dave admitted he was not in love with his bride.

And the wayward groom looked a little downcast as he stepped out in Sydney recently as his marriage falls apart.

Dave opted for a white shirt along with pale cream shorts, adding a blue cap and black and white sneakers.

He had his headphones in and looked lost in thought as he made his way down the street on his own.

His wife was nowhere to be seen, with the strain in the pair’s romance rearing its ugly head on episodes this week.

During the Homestays, Jamie refused to stay with Dave in her home, confessing the pair were currently ‘separated’.

They then met up with Jamie’s sister, Georgia, who grilled Dave on whether he was in love with Jamie.

Dave confessed again he is not – and even said he was struggling to have romantic feelings for her.

‘Those feelings are instant. You know if they’re a friend or if they’re more. You know instantly. You don’t have romantic feelings?’ Georgia quizzed.

‘I want to build on that. I do. I see the glimpses of the romantic things there’ Dave said, pleading his case.

Jamie despaired: ‘It’s very clear he doesn’t have those feelings right now but he’s optimistic they will grow. But that concerns me this far into the experiment.

‘And I feel like… but how are you going to develop feelings for me? How do you think you’re going to get there?’ she added.

Dave continued to argue that he was hoping to develop feelings, but it wasn’t enough for Georgia or Jamie.

‘I’ve fallen for someone who doesn’t even show up the romantic sense’ Jamie lamented.

‘I dunno, I don’t get it. Like, am I a sucker for punishment? ‘Cause this man doesn’t even have baseline romantic feelings for me yet’.

Viewers tuning into the episode shared their thoughts on X, with many telling Jamie it was time to give up as Dave just doesn’t want to be with her.

‘Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, nobody wants to be married to someone who “might fall in love if I work at it”. Time to set Dave free’ one person posted.

‘The first admission of him not being in to you, you should’ve listened Jamie. This is over’ someone else commented.

‘He’s not going to develop feelings for you and he knows it Jamie’ yet another wrote.

‘Okay Jamie. Enough already. Dave is trying. You gotta come his way now. Exhausted’ said another.

‘Jamie and her ultimatums have bought Dave to…. No, he don’t love you’ someone else wrote.

Others urged Dave to cut the cord and tell Jamie that it’s over.

‘You don’t have to love someone just because they love you. But you do have to be honest about it and walk away rather than hurting the other person further with that nasty little emotion called hope. The best thing Dave can do is call it’ one said.

‘Dave tell her you want to be friends… You cannot build on what’s not there… He’s delaying the inevitable’ someone else posted.

Some were critical of how Jamie and her sister badgered Dave about his feelings.

‘Dave might’ve handled it badly but what’s this obsession of grilling him for NOT already being in love with Jamie?’ one said.

‘People don’t fall in love at the same pace. Don’t understand this reaction from Jamie and her sister’ they added.
