What Matt Looking Lost In His New Relationship Means
Matt Only Wanted A Casual Relationship
Jasmine and Matt met at a gym in Michigan and became friends. However, due to issues in Jasmine’s relationship with Gino,she turned to Matt for emotional support, which strengthened their friendship. Eventually, they became intimate partners after Gino agreed to an open marriage.
Matt was happy with this arrangement as he found Jasmine extremely attractive. However, he began to appear less enthusiastic after Jasmine moved in with him. While he claims to want a romantic relationship with Jasmine,his expressions and demeanor indicate that he is still trying to adapt to living with her.
Matt is likely feeling emotionally overwhelmed by Jasmine’s intense personality. He only agreed to be her sexual partner, but she suddenly moved into his house.This abrupt change from being a third party to a main partner may have caused Matt to feel emotionally drained, which could explain why he appears lost and confused on90 Day Fiancé.
His demeanor, appearing like a hostage, may reflect his inner conflict and confusion. Since Matt had never been in a long-term, serious relationship before,he likely wasn’t prepared for the emotionally taxing situation he found himself in with Jasmine.
