Love Is Blind fans have grown tired of Jackie Bonds’ absurd behavior on the show. As Love Is Blind season 4 reunion steadily approaches, viewers have been discussing Jackie’s decision to leave her partner Marshall Glaze. Ahead of the finale, Love Is Blind star Jackie Bonds decided she’s had just about enough of her contentious relationship with fiancé Marshall Glaze and decided to call off their wedding.
The news didn’t surprise most viewers, with the former couple enduring quite a topsy-turvy romance. Meanwhile, during an exclusive interview with Us Weekly after breaking off the engagement, Jackie also confirmed her doubts about the relationship from the moment they moved in together. She said,
“I knew as soon as we came back from Mexico and we started living together that it wasn’t gonna work out between me and Marshall.”
Although Jackie had to choose between choosing Marshall and co-star Josh Demas at the pods, she eventually accepted the proposal of the former. However, things quickly turned sour between the two once they began living together after the Mexico honeymoon. Viewers watched as the two regularly clashed over fundamental issues. At some point, Marshall bitterly complained about how Jackie tended to “ruminate” in her moods for long periods and famously referred to her as a “project” that he needed to fix up once they married.
Unfortunately, as things stand, Marshall wouldn’t be getting the chance to do any fixing up. Apart from claiming Marshall wasn’t aggressive enough, Jackie also revealed her frustrations at the lack of sex in their relationship. However, the final straw that pushed Jackie to end her engagement was when Marshall described her as a “project.” Since ending her romance with Marshall, Jackie has hinted at a possible reconciliation with former love interest Josh. Nevertheless, Love Is Blind fans are not buying Jackie’s reasons for calling off her wedding with Marshall and have accused her of being deceptive.
Jackie Makes Deceptive Statements
As mentioned earlier, the last few Love Is Blind episodes showed Jackie and Marshall arguing and quarreling more than they got along. Many of the viewers already started to have doubts about their compatibility as a couple before the two finally ended their romance during episode 10 of the show. Following the breakup, Jackie sat for an interview with TODAY, detailing what went wrong in her relationship with Marshall. In the interview, Jackie claimed:
“Me and Marshall broke up because we just weren’t meant for each other. I was going down a different road than he was, and he required way more emotion, way more babying, all that.”
Jackie further revealed she decided to end the relationship to allow Marshall to find a better match for himself. While Jackie may be convinced of her reasons for ending the relationship, most Love Is Blind fans are not buying into her narrative about Marshall being too emotional. The fans were even quick to point out that she was the one who was most guilty of being quite emotional and overly sensitive during the duo’s relationship. On Twitter, many of the show’s viewers labeled her a hypocrite and called her out on her problematic behavior during the show. One Twitter user wrote,
“Jackie: Marshall is too sensitive for me. Is this not the person who broke down wailing in the hotel bathroom, and Marshall held space for her with unwavering support and no judgment?”
Another fan commented,
“Jackie….. Marshall is too sensitive? YOU MEAN HE COMMUNICATES HIS EMOTIONS, AND YOU CANNOT HANDLE IT BECAUSE YOU ARE EMOTIONALLY IMMATURE?#LoveIsBlind.”
Many fans highlighted how ironic it was that Jackie, who cried in nearly every episode, would turn around and claim Marshall was too emotional. They concluded that Jackie was yet to heal from a lot of her trauma from the past and was projecting her attraction to toxic men on him.
Love Is Blind Jackie Makes Absurd Demands
One of the other reasons Jackie gave for ending her relationship with Marshall was that he wasn’t “man enough.” The suggestion that Marshall wasn’t “manly enough,” especially from Jackie, got the show’s fans breathing down her back on social media. Many fans unveiled their anger at Jackie for making such a claim against someone so supportive of her and emotionally available during the many times she was an emotional wreck during the show.
While responding to a Reddit thread, one user Extent_Thick even labeled her as an “ungrateful, selfish human” for paying Marshall’s kind gestures back with such a betrayal. Still, much of the action took place on Twitter, with some viewers keen to point out that Jackie must have a history of toxic relationships not to recognize what a gem Marshall has been to her throughout their whirlwind romance.
One fan shared via a tweet,
“Yesss Jackie, Marshall is too manly because he is emotionally intelligent, respects your boundaries AND displays extreme patience for your emotional breakdowns# loveisblindseason4.”
Another user tweeted,
“This situation between Jackie & Marshall is sad AF! It really shows how many women are so used to toxicity in relationships that they literally can’t even recognize what healthy communication and a loving relationship looks like.. that’s crazy #LoveisBlindS4.”
Some Love Is Blind fans also recalled how Jackie had admitted that Marshall was the first man to show her genuine love. They couldn’t understand how such a person suddenly became too sensitive. They concluded that Jackie was still suffering from the traumas of being in a toxic relationship and that finding stability had become quite a scary option. On the other hand, Marshall seemed quite disappointed with how the relationship ended. However, there appears to be some drama within this space, as Jackie may have her eyes set on rekindling her romance with Josh. Still, fans must wait until the Love Is Blind reunion to get the final picture.
