“MAFS”: Becca Fears She's 'Running Out of Ideas' Due to Austin's Constant 'Rejection' for Intimacy (Exclusive)
When Becca reminds Austin that having "foreplay throughout the day" is recommended by their therapist, he replies, "It's hard to fit it all in"
Married at First Sight's Becca is worried she's exhausted her efforts to trigger greater intimacy with her husband Austin.
In an exclusive sneak peek of Wednesday's episode of the Lifetime series, Becca admits that she's been struggling with the lack of intimacy she's been receiving from Austin. Despite her best efforts, she fears that the couple will run "out of avenues" when it comes to new ways to spark a romantic connection.
"I know Austin means well, and I know he is committed to me. But it's difficult when you continue to initiate things and then continue to face rejection," she says in a confessional. "I'm running out of ideas."
"I'm running out of ways for us to connect that do separate us from a friendship, from a romantic relationship, that are in ways that he's comfortable that still fulfill my needs," she adds. "It feels like we're running out of avenues."
