Married at First Sight’s Decision Day turned out to be a true death for some complicated marriages.
During the Tuesday, February 25 episode of Lifetime’s hit reality show, experts Dr. Pepper Schwartz, Pastor Cal Roberson and Dr. Pia Goff confronted Madison after she developed feelings for David while she was married to Allen.
“I want to start with an apology, even if it doesn’t go very far,” Madison, 29, shared with her husband. “I am truly sorry for hurting you and the pain I see I have caused you. This was not something that was intentional or planned or with malicious intent. I should have been more honest about my feelings from the beginning.”
The apology, however, appeared to be too little too late for Allen, 36.

“There’s no part of me that wants to be married to this woman,” he told the experts while sitting next to Madison. “You have been playing this game with David for weeks. Continuing to go on with that, I think that’s repulsive.”
When asked if he needed more closure from either Madison or David, 36, Allen said it wasn’t necessary. “I don’t have any questions,” he added. “He’s like dirt to me.”
Not to be outdone, David was faced with tough questions from the experts when he met up with his wife.
“I truly do apologize,” he told Michelle in a tense sit-down. “There was no intention to hurt you whatsoever. That’s not in me. That’s not the person I am. Unfortunately, I caught feelings with Madison and that wasn’t fair to you.”
Michelle, 38, argued that her husband of eight weeks had zero remorse and it was time to officially move on with a divorce.
“I feel like there’s been a lot of lying for probably way longer than I’m aware of,” she said. “It sounds like David has already moved on with Madison and I’m not sure where that leads me.”
During the season, David maintained that his relationship with Madison was never physical except for a few hugs. The experts, however, previously questioned why he sent a text message to her saying he “wanted to eat her up.” (In a previous episode, David claimed that he was just shooting his shot and was a man with “needs” that weren’t being met.)
Following Decision Day, David and Madison enjoyed a date at the golfing range and expressed their hopes to continue exploring the relationship.

“My feelings are strong but I’m not trying to overwhelm you,” he said. “I know we’re going through a lot as well but I can see a lot with us.”
In one final plot twist, the cast reunited for drinks after Decision Day. As cameras rolled, David and Madison showed up in matching red outfits proving they were ready to move forward together. Before viewers could see the cast’s reaction, the episode ended resulting in an epic cliffhanger.
