Nasser and Gabrielle looked like being one of the golden couples on this season of MAFS. They hit it off early on – even doing the deed on their honeymoon.

But things seem to have fallen apart for them during the home stays.

On the show this week, Nasser was meant to be staying with Gab at a rented apartment near her home. He was meant to be catching up with her friends. But instead, he left her there alone.

“I was stupid,” Nasser tells TV WEEK. “I shouldn’t have done it. I should have been more understanding that it was her time and it was her place. But I totally freaked. I ran away.”

Nasser and Gabrielle hit it off early, but things seem to be going downhill for the couple.

Nasser says the apartment had a “bad vibe”.

“It just didn’t have a homely vibe,” he explains. “This place didn’t have anything of Gab. It was just a place we had to be at. It just felt weird for me.”

Still, he says, he was prepared to stay until strange things began happening.

“One-thirty in the morning, the bed collapses. I get up to turn the lights on, the lights don’t work. We get up, go to the next room, lie on the single bed in that room, the bed rolls and hit the wall. I’m like, ‘Forget it.'”

Nasser says he was “almost in tears” because he didn’t know what to do, and Gab didn’t know what to do either.

“I think that week was the worst week of my life. It was very, very bad. I was basically an a—hole. I should have just stayed and lapped it up. I couldn’t deal with it. I just freaked out.”
