Married At First Sightseason 18’s David Trimble shared his rationale behind chasing his relationship with Madison Myers during theMAFSseason 18 reunion, andhis justification for his behavior proves he’s still not ready for a mature relationship. David, who was originally married toMarried At First Sightseason 18’sMichelle Tomblin, was looking for something specific from his match for the season. While he was interested in making the marriage he found on screen work, things didn’t look like they were going to succeed with Michelle from the start. David’s partner was critical of seemingly everything he did.

While Michelle clearly wasn’t the partner for David, it was clear the pair was meant to try and move through their newfound relationship anyway. For Michelle, that meant accepting the fact that David still lived with his parents and wasn’t as financially stable as she wanted her partner to be. For David, it meant accepting that Michelle didn’t believe he was the perfect person. While Michelle tried to accept herMAFShusband, even though she didn’t move the needle much,David didn’t seem to make efforts toward improving their relationship. Instead, hebecame infatuated with Madison and hid it poorly.
