Chris, 38, stated he felt he had "shut down" and that an extra week to repair their bond had not helped.
Sam, 34, voiced frustration over what he perceived as Chris's "performative actions" and a lack of genuine effort to grow as a partner. He also believed Chris had not fully forgiven him for past confrontations. The situation escalated when Chris revealed he hadn't been honest about his dissatisfaction with their intimacy.
