Unsurprisingly, the Married At First Sight (MAFS) fans aren’t fancying intruder groom Tyson Gordon and his narrow worldviews, and unfortunately, it appears that his bride, Stephanie Marshall, is fed up with his shit.
This article contains Married At First Sight spoilers. You can choose to stay or leave.
Ever since the ex-soldier was revealed as an intruder for MAFS, fans new they were in for a ride. He was described to be a man of traditional values, a conservative, a Trumpie and some who disliked “woke people”.
But it wasn’t until he jumped on the screen that fans got a *full* scope of Tyson’s personality. He was polarising. He shook fans to the core with his conservative views, especially when it came to women’s sexual history, and masculine and feminine energy.
One of the biggest eyebrow raises was Tyson’s preference on his potential partner’s body count. You see, the bloke wants a wife who hasn’t had a bunch of sexual partners. However, he called Steph “frigid” after she revealed that she never had an adult relationship.
However, fans (as well as Steph) reached their wits end during her and Tyson’s honeymoon. Firstly, the pair decided to sleep in separate rooms after their wedding, ‘cos duh, Steph apparently has too much “masculine energy” because of her job real estate agent.
When they finally made it to their honeymoon destination — the beautiful shores of Shoalhaven — while the pair were having lunch, Tyson made comments about Steph’s eating habits.
“You demolished that,” he said before adding, “Dang, you can eat.”
Thigns went worse after the Honeymoon Box came out and they started discussing Tyson’s beliefs in body counts. Firstly, he revealed he admitted to having “20 to 30” sexual partners. Steph then revealed she had about 20 sexual partners and that she hadn’t had sex in the last three years.
When asked about his thoughts, Tyson admitted that her number was “a little bit of a problem”, claiming she “enjoys lust over actually finding that soulmate” because Steph has never had a boyfriend.
“You know, he’s slept with more people than I have yet my number was too high. I bit my tongue for the sake of having a civil conversation today,” Steph said in a confessional.
Unfortunately for the pair, they continued to but heads back at their accommodation, with Tyson taking issue with Steph’s ambitious energy, adding that he’s looking for a “submissive wife”.
“Don’t get me wrong that I think you’re a business woman and all but you just come across in a relationship as very masculine,” Tyson fired at Steph.
“Well that’s your perception… I feel like it makes you feel emasculated,” she clapped back, resulting in him retreating to the gym for hours.
“Sounds like a you problem, not a me problem,” Steph continued.
After the gym sesh, Tyson attempted to try and twist Steph’s head on her “masculine energy”, which restuled in the pair agreeing on taking space from each other from the honeymoon.

Of course, with his strong stance on this whole idea of “masculine energy”, tied to Steph’s ambition, fans reamed the groom for his beliefs.
They also took aim at some of the language he used, such as the word “submissive”.
Others also praised Steph for standing her ground against the controversial groom.
Honestly, at this point, I just need Steph to pull a Brook Crompton and run away from this man IMMEDIATELY (minus the Dinner Party crashing and bullying situation).
