00:01Previously...
00:02I love you.
00:03The final decision saw Sharon and Nick...
00:06Of course you have my heart.
00:08Aline and Simon...
00:09And with all my heart, I hope to continue this relationship.
00:13Vanessa and Andy...
00:14I'm feeling really happy and excited.
00:17And Nadia and Anthony...
00:19And I'm ready to take this leap with you.
00:21...agreed to continue their relationships...
00:23Thanks for coming.
00:24...beyond the experiment.
00:26My pleasure.
00:27But, Michelle and Jessie...
00:28I do want you in my life forever.
00:30But not as your partner.
00:32I suppose...
00:34I go home a single man now.
00:37And Susan and Sean...
00:39I can't be in a relationship with you.
00:42Decided to just be friends.
00:45It's been really special.
00:46It has.
00:52Tonight, is it really the end for Susan and Sean?
00:56It could be happily ever after.
00:58That's what I wanted.
00:59And that's what he wanted.
01:00As the countdown begins...
01:02...to the explosive reunion special.
01:05She is such a psycho.
01:07But first...
01:08...over the next two nights...
01:10...we find out how our couples are coping...
01:12...with life outside the experiment.
01:16He's doing this on purpose!
01:19I don't want to give up my friends and family.
01:23It's a really hard situation.
01:24As the reality of the rest of their lives...
01:27...hits home.
01:28I can't read the future.
01:30I can't know whether that is going to happen with us.
01:33Can our couples cut it in the real world?
01:36The reality is...
01:37...it's going to be hard.
01:39The experiment is over.
01:51But before the couples come back together for their reunion...
01:54...they now return to their homes and everyday lives.
01:58They recommence their jobs...
02:00I love this!
02:01...catch up with friends and family...
02:03...and will be doing everything they can...
02:06...to make their marriages work...
02:08...without help from the experts.
02:12What's going to happen next?
02:14It's the remaining couple's first day out of the experiment.
02:18Woohoo!
02:20Alini and Simon have decided to continue their time together...
02:32...with a short trip to the Gold Coast.
02:35This is our first breakfast together...
02:37...as an officially graduated couple.
02:42Look at this beautiful blue eyes.
02:45Cute.
02:46Oh, gosh.
02:48Meanwhile in Melbourne...
02:50Bloody Perth.
02:52Nick is coming to grips with new technology.
02:55Hello!
02:56Hello, darling.
02:57Is Perth internet shit or what?
02:59Being 3,000 kilometres away from wife Sharon in Perth.
03:03You look pretty cute today.
03:05Look at you go.
03:07But while some couples are excited about the next stage...
03:10...others are worried past issues will follow them into the future.
03:15Andy is stuck at the Gold Coast and I'm stuck here in Melbourne doing uni.
03:19And I feel like we're just a little bit different...
03:22...with what we're expecting to happen during a long distance relationship.
03:25Andy's not one to have in-depth conversations...
03:27...so long distance is not going to work.
03:30So we need to figure out what's happening.
03:32What's our next move?
03:33What not?
03:34Can I get the experts back in here?
03:36In Brisbane, Nadia is also feeling the distance between herself and husband Anthony...
03:43...who's still in Sydney.
03:45We definitely miss each other.
03:47We've been together 24-7 for two months...
03:50...and, you know, we've had a great time together.
03:53Despite considerable doubts throughout the experiment...
03:56...at the renewal of vows...
03:58...Anthony finally managed to turn Nadia's feelings around.
04:02You are strong, assertive, confident, beautiful.
04:07You're very special to me, Nadia.
04:12I've grown attached to you and this isn't something that...
04:15...I can or want to walk away from.
04:18I would really love to continue this relationship with you...
04:22...and build a future on our own.
04:25Anthony's styles were just beautiful.
04:28When he said that he wanted to spend the future with me...
04:32...they were words that touched my heart.
04:35And I feel different.
04:37I feel safe and I feel secure and I feel protected.
04:40I'm incredibly optimistic for the future with Anthony and I.
04:44While Nadia looks forward to her future with Anthony...
04:47...down in Sydney, the distance between the couple...
04:50...has affected Anthony in a very different way.
04:54I've been back in my own apartment for a week now.
04:57Back in my own environment.
04:59Back in my own routine.
05:02It's different. It's very different not having Nadia around.
05:05I liked having her around.
05:07But it's also nice to have some time apart from Nadia.
05:15And I have my own privacy.
05:17So it's great to be back in that space.
05:20To really consider my options.
05:26Yes, yes.
05:28Hello.
05:29How are you going?
05:30I'm okay. How are you?
05:31Good.
05:32How is it being at work in Brisbane and me being in Sydney?
05:36Um...
05:38I don't know. It's just different.
05:39Because I guess, like, I've just sort of come back to my life.
05:42I mean, lots has changed though.
05:44I mean, as soon as I got back, I found out my lease is expiring.
05:48So I need to make some decisions.
05:50That sounds pretty serious.
05:51Yeah, it is.
05:53I'm really conscious that throughout this experiment,
05:55I've been so adamant about not moving for a man.
05:59However, he is a strong pull and I'd love to be closer to him.
06:04You know, what's my next step?
06:06Mmm.
06:07You know, what do I stay in Brisbane?
06:08Do I move to Sydney?
06:09Yeah.
06:10Moving forward with Anthony is something that I do really want.
06:13And I do want to explore that with Anthony.
06:15So I just need a green light.
06:18It's kind of like knowing which one is right right now.
06:24Yeah.
06:25You know, it weighs on my mind that not only do we need to overcome the distance burden,
06:31but at the same time, my career choice and my lifestyle is not sustainable for a relationship long term.
06:38You're going to need me to be around when you have days off, for example,
06:43and there'll be times where I'm just not going to be.
06:48To be honest, I was quite shocked when Anthony started to talk about, you know,
06:54not being able to drop everything to be there.
06:57Um, I didn't see that one coming.
06:59Nadia, are you still there?
07:01Are you still there?
07:04It's confusing.
07:06The whole thing is quite confusing.
07:08Anthony's spouse said that he wanted to spend the future with me.
07:12Or is it him saying, this ain't going to work?
07:16Hmm.
07:18Alright.
07:20Any other news?
07:21Mmm, no.
07:24Um.
07:27Mmm.
07:28I don't know.
07:31I've realised it's too soon for us to make that commitment where one of us moves.
07:40Sorry, I'm not super talkative.
07:42I'm so exhausted.
07:44Yeah, I mean, these are all things that are coming into my mind after the experiment is finished
07:49because, you know, while we're in the experiment, we're in this little bubble for eight weeks
07:53and it's all a bit of a fairy tale and it's all fun and we're all spending time together.
07:58Just maybe just try and get some sleep and you'll feel better when you wake up, I think.
08:03Alright.
08:04I don't even know.
08:05It's like you're just getting exhausted.
08:07But it's not real.
08:08And the reality is, it's, it's going to be hard.
08:16So, yeah.
08:17Yeah.
08:18At this stage, I'm really not sure if Nadia and I will make it last long, long term.
08:26With the experiment now over, and before the couples will meet again at the reunion,
08:36for happy couples Sharon and Nick, they must adapt back to life without the other by their side.
08:43It's been a couple of weeks since I've been back into my normal routine and Nick and I have been apart for that duration.
08:50We're speaking every day.
08:53But, you know, I do miss him.
08:56With Nick being in Melbourne and myself being in Perth, Nick may as well be on the other side of the world.
09:01That's how far away he feels to me right now.
09:05Um, I do have really strong feelings for Nick and I want it to work.
09:11It's just figuring out how the hell it's going to work.
09:16At their vow renewals, Nick opened his heart.
09:20I'm going to go all out and tell you how I really feel.
09:23Well...
09:25From the first moment I laid eyes on you, I knew there was chemistry and I knew there was potential for a meaningful relationship.
09:32Sharon Marsh, I love you.
09:35Oh my God!
09:39I'm going to do my vow yet!
09:41I can't do that!
09:43I can do what I want.
09:46Back in Melbourne and back to work, Nick is eager to begin his future with his wife, now on the other side of the country.
09:55It's good to see all the guys and all the familiar faces and they're like,
09:57where have you been Nick, you idiot?
09:59I'm like, just getting married.
10:00Look at that!
10:01Yay!
10:02You can't open bottles with that.
10:04I'll try.
10:06It's good to be back and see all you boys and actually do some work.
10:10I've told him a little bit about Shaz but I can't wait to tell him the whole adventure I've been on and I'm happy as hell.
10:16So what's happening?
10:18I saw what?
10:19I don't know, I might move to Perth.
10:22Still with my wife so who knows?
10:24He has said to me many times that he's willing to move for me and that's a big deal that he's even considering it.
10:30How was the homestay Nick, you went and saw how Sharon likes to live?
10:37Yeah Perth was good, definitely different to Melbourne where I'm from but definitely an option, maybe I might move there, I wonder who knows.
10:45Wow!
10:47When Nick told me that he's definitely open to moving to Perth, I was so happy because it would be a huge sacrifice for me to move to Melbourne.
10:56I've got my friends and my family and I've got my business and I've just started building my business up again.
11:01So I'm really excited about Nick being in Perth, it's a long time coming honestly.
11:07When he's so far away it's crazy, it's driving me nuts.
11:11While Sharon eagerly awaits her reunion with husband Nick, it's a very different story for her twin sister Michelle,
11:19who chose not to renew her vows with Jessie, leaving him heartbroken.
11:24Now back in Adelaide, Jessie wakes up to a future without Michelle.
11:32I suppose, you know, you wake up, you know, next to each other every morning for like two months straight.
11:42It sucks not having her here in the morning but, you know, it sort of is where it is now.
11:50So I've just got to move on.
11:54Being back in the real world, back in home, feeling good, it's nice to be back in my comfort zone.
12:04Nice to be back surrounding myself with my friends, my family and just getting back into the swing of things.
12:10I am disappointed that I didn't find love, just like Sharon.
12:14It would have been really nice to end up with someone that was compatible for sure.
12:18But now I'm back on the Perth scene, single and yeah, I've got to try and find someone that has that spark and the chemistry and ticks all those boxes that I need in a relationship.
12:31Meanwhile for Jessie, it's straight back to work with his dad.
12:38The ending in use for me.
12:40Starting to catch you now.
12:41I've just had my first divorce.
12:43Obviously it didn't work out.
12:45Now how do you feel?
12:46Oh, you know, like, obviously I was disappointed in her.
12:51Jessie is heartbroken, but I think you've handled it pretty well.
12:56Well actually Jessie, between you and me, I'm happy you didn't connect.
13:01Oh, it was not.
13:02Because I wouldn't have lost you.
13:03She wouldn't have come back to that land.
13:05Jessie and Michelle, I know that if it was to work and Michelle had a way, he would go to Perth.
13:11I'm sorry Michelle, but I didn't want to see that.
13:16Typical man.
13:18That's correct.
13:19I'm looking after you.
13:20Dad, yeah, he's definitely happy because I'm not leaving Adelaide.
13:24But he would have loved for Michelle and I to work out.
13:28Which is how I feel.
13:30I guess, yeah, I'm back to reality.
13:33Going back to work.
13:35You're looking for just that one person, that one special person,
13:38who I'm going to love, and at the same time, who's going to love me back.
13:44Because otherwise there's the whole, like, one person loving the other doesn't work.
13:57Doesn't work.
14:03Meanwhile...
14:05In Melbourne...
14:10What are you doing, Dad?
14:15Nick has received some life-shattering news regarding his father's health
14:22that's left his plans to move to Perth in pieces.
14:25My dad supposedly has motor and neurone disease.
14:32And that's not a good thing.
14:34There's no cure for it.
14:38So, um...
14:41We'll see what...
14:43We'll see what's going to happen.
14:45I worry about my dad and I hope he's alright.
14:48He's doing...
14:49He is doing it tough.
14:51My dad is, uh, like my best mate.
14:55You know, we love each other.
14:56We, uh, look after each other.
14:58And, uh...
15:00I don't want to think of the fact that I might be losing my father.
15:08Don't know what's in store for Dad.
15:10We've got an appointment with his specialist very soon and, uh, we'll find out.
15:19But...
15:20I'm worried about him.
15:22We stick together.
15:23We're...
15:24We're other boys, you know, so close.
15:26So, I guess, um...
15:29I guess...
15:31Moving to Perth with Sharon.
15:33That's not going to happen.
15:36So, I don't know what's going to happen.
15:39I don't know what I'm in for in the future.
15:42Just hope Sharon's by my side.
15:46Still to come.
15:47I love the girl.
15:48I still do miss her.
15:50Is there still a chance for Susan and Sean?
15:53I think about Sean all the time.
15:55I'm confused.
15:56I don't know what it means.
15:58And later...
15:59I don't know what to do.
16:00Nick's bombshell has Sharon reeling.
16:03Shit, I gotta make a decision here.
16:06Plus...
16:07Yes, I want to be with Anthony.
16:08And I don't want to give up.
16:10There's...
16:11We're definitely not in love.
16:13And that's not going to change.
16:15Is that sustainable for a relationship long term?
16:18Probably not.
16:24After their romantic Gold Coast getaway...
16:27Oh, look how blue his eyes are.
16:30So cute.
16:32Oh, gosh.
16:34Simon has brought Eleni back to his hometown of Ipswich to give her one final taste of farm life.
16:41Come on.
16:42Hi.
16:43He's doing this on Batman.
16:46Before they separate, and Eleni heads back to her hometown of Sydney.
16:51We had a good day together.
16:53Katie, you can say something here.
16:55Hi.
16:56Eleni is great.
16:57It's amazing.
16:58Don't know how Simon's actually ended up with our stories.
17:01At the vow renewals, Simon finally put his heart on the line and won Eleni over.
17:08Eleni, you are the best wife I could have asked for.
17:12And with all my heart, I hope to continue this relationship with you well into the future.
17:17All I can ask is I hope that you feel the same way.
17:21Having left the experiment stronger than ever, one week later, back in their home cities,
17:38Eleni and Simon have worked out their travel plans to visit one another each weekend.
17:45But during the week, they're on their own.
17:48I have to admit, it's not the same.
17:51We're going to bed solo.
17:53We were lying there for ages just talking dribble sometimes till one or two o'clock in the morning.
18:01Yeah, so that's a big sea change, that's for sure.
18:04I do miss Simon.
18:08This is a double bed.
18:10So when we were sharing it, there wasn't much room to turn around or to move away from each other.
18:15And I was on cloud nine because Simon doesn't like spooning and stuff.
18:19But he had no other choice here.
18:21He was right against me.
18:24And no matter which way he turned, I could touch him and he had to touch me.
18:29So it was the best week.
18:31But our relationship now is the inevitable Skype relationship.
18:39But at least I can see his face.
18:42But it's also frustrating because, you know, I was looking at him and I'm used to touching Simon.
18:48You know, like I said, I'm touchy and I'm like, but I can't touch him.
18:52It's kind of cheesy, but yeah, it is what it is.
18:54And I'm glad to see that you're still wearing the wedding ring.
19:08I haven't given up yet.
19:09No, I haven't given up.
19:11It's been raising eyebrows.
19:16I've actually spoken to a couple of people and I've said, what's that funny looking band that's on your ring?
19:20It's like, yeah, I sort of got ish.
19:26So then I've had to explain the scenario.
19:28Raised a few eyebrows and got a few giggles at the same time.
19:31I do miss Elaine incredibly because I haven't been in sync with someone like this for so, so long.
19:40And so the idea of Skyping, to be honest, I hate the idea of it.
19:47And as anyone would, if anyone's going to question as to why I don't like the idea of it, then they've got rocks in their head.
19:55Look, I'll be honest with you, I'm not looking forward to it.
19:58If this is how it's going to be for so...
20:02It's hard.
20:04Yeah.
20:05But, you know, obviously, we knew that this was going to happen.
20:09And this is the only option until something else develops.
20:14I'm actually being cool with this chatting of a Skype.
20:18It's nowhere near us, but it's actually, you know, having you up front, one on one.
20:22Of course.
20:23I'm extremely keen on making it work, but who wants to be in a relationship where you have to be talking into a machine to feel somewhat closer to that particular person?
20:35I'm so damn uncomfortable at this.
20:38Do what I usually do, you know?
20:41Touch your nose, but I can't.
20:44It's just a stupid scream.
20:47I really miss that, don't I?
20:48You know what?
20:49After we hang up, you're going to go on your bed and curl up and cry.
20:53I really miss a lady flicking my nose.
20:55Mmm.
20:56Back in Brisbane, Nadia is still reeling over her Skype call with Anthony and wants to blow off some steam.
21:06While in Sydney,
21:11Boys, thanks for coming.
21:12Appreciate all your support throughout the experiment.
21:15Husband Anthony unloads on mates Hugh and Nick.
21:18See where we're at, so cheers.
21:19How are we going to do long distance?
21:21He's in Sydney and you're in Brisbane.
21:24Mmm.
21:25With us, I feel like if I make that choice to go to Sydney, it's going to be for me and it's going to be about my career, my choices.
21:32Yeah.
21:33And obviously a part of that happiness is having the right man.
21:36I actually think Nadia would move down there like that, but knowing her, she's quite a reserved person and she puts her walls up.
21:44So she's finding a way to get down there without seeming so vulnerable.
21:48So she's going to go down there for her, but really, she's going to go down there for him.
21:54For us, we still need to work out if we actually do want to be together long term.
21:58Yeah.
21:59She's a good thing and I want to give it a go, but we still haven't even got to that.
22:05End goal where, right, this is it, you know, whatever it may be.
22:10We're just not even at that spot.
22:12My work schedule is very demanding and that's not going to change.
22:15Is that sustainable for a relationship long term?
22:19Probably not.
22:21Yes, I want to be with Anthony at this point and I don't want to give up and I'd like to explore that further.
22:26And, you know, we're ready to take another step forward, but this is a conversation that we need to have together.
22:32I'm just trying to understand the, like, the level of nought to smitten in love, kind of, where you got, like...
22:38Oh, mate, there's, we're definitely not in love.
22:43Yeah, neither of us are at that point.
22:45I feel committed.
22:46I feel very committed to Anthony and, you know, I'd like to think at this point in my life that I'm street smart enough to choose a good man, not a fickle man.
22:59You can only...
23:02Liking someone only counts for so much.
23:05So...
23:07I mean, how long do you give it?
23:08For couple Andy and Vanessa, before they met again at the reunion, they've separated back to their hometowns.
23:22Hello!
23:24Hey!
23:25While Vanessa's in Melbourne, embracing her active social life...
23:28I've missed you all so much, it's crazy!
23:32On the Gold Coast, Andy is adjusting back to his solitary lifestyle.
23:38It's good being back.
23:40I've been keeping myself busy.
23:43You know, normal life to me is this house and getting it finished and getting our renovations done.
23:47But I do miss Vanessa.
23:51Odds are definitely stacked against us.
23:54But I want to throw it all the way now and just say it can't work because of the long distance.
24:00At least I want to give it a go.
24:04At the vow renewals, Andy willed Vanessa to put their differences aside and give him a chance outside the experiment.
24:13We've had to navigate through our differences.
24:14Specifically me, having to learn how to communicate more.
24:18And you, learning to give me the space to do that in my own time.
24:22I really hope you can accept who I am and see my positives.
24:26If you let go of these concerns and focus on our good times, then I think our future will be better than our first dance.
24:31But despite deciding to recommit...
24:35Vanessa has failed to let go of old issues.
24:39I do miss Andy, but it's very hard to progress when you live in different states.
24:45And to make matters worse, Andy has now booked a trip to Everest, throwing Vanessa's timeline to move in together into turmoil.
24:56You do feel like you're so far away from each other.
25:00And you'll check in.
25:02But you really are leading quite separate lives.
25:06What's going to happen next?
25:08We've spent two months together.
25:09I feel like we should be a bit closer to knowing.
25:12Only time apart will tell, won't it?
25:15Normal relationships don't have time apart.
25:18Normal relationships are always, they are together.
25:21So they don't actually have to spend months apart.
25:24I can't move.
25:25Well, we can't be long distance forever.
25:29Yeah, well, I mean, I've got things to do here.
25:34Do the trip to Everest.
25:36By then, you know, I'll be a bit more clear as to what I want to do.
25:41That's a really long time.
25:43Four months?
25:44Yeah.
25:45Too long to wait, is it?
25:46Yeah.
25:47Don't you think?
25:48I don't know what she wants me to say.
25:49I just don't want to have those conversations anymore.
25:50I want it to be positive and I want this relationship to thrive.
25:52But I think it keeps getting hampered every time this comes up.
25:55So, yeah, I don't have the answer to it.
25:58I want to make a decision now, whereas I want to see how it pans out.
26:02So let's put aside the whole movie and the whole movie and the whole movie.
26:05Because I feel like you don't understand me.
26:06That's why I bring it up.
26:07I think it keeps getting hampered every time this comes up.
26:10So, yeah, I don't have the answer to it.
26:12I want to make a decision now, whereas I want to see how it pans out.
26:16So, let's put aside the whole moving thing and let's go back to the fact that we're really different personality-wise.
26:22When you talk about personality differences, it's a real kick in the guts every time you bring it up.
26:28That's sort of my attitude.
26:31I feel like you don't understand me.
26:33That's why I bring it up.
26:35you're not up to scratch it's not a good feeling getting told that you got to
26:42accept me for who I am you know if it's not enough for her I don't know what to
26:46do honestly don't know
26:52I'm just nervous as time goes by if we don't see each other how that's gonna
26:57change our relationship it's gonna be hard long distance gets tedious really
27:05quickly calling each other every night just telling them what you've done
27:10every day but nothing you've done includes them it's tedious andy
27:15if you're not feeling it just be honest and tell me how you feel
27:22andy just doesn't communicate you know you can't you can't you can't change
27:27someone's personality and it's hard to you know draw that line and say you know we
27:36went on this process together and there are some things that for me need to be
27:42present in a relationship and I you know appreciate you the way you are and I
27:46think you're amazing however you're amazing may not be the person that's
27:51meant to be for me forever
27:55you just keep going around around circles like it doesn't go anywhere
28:02coming up I still do miss heartache I love the girl regret when you meet an
28:08amazing guy like that you never give up on the hope of happily ever after and
28:16Nadia's mad dash to Sydney when push comes to shove for me to move to Sydney
28:21Sydney I need that reassurance in the search for answers feel like we've just
28:26sort of been treading water if I sit here and tell you it's easy
28:31in rural Queensland Sean is settling back into life on the farm alone after his vow renewals with Susan took an unexpected turn
28:55there are so many positives about our journey together Sean but I have to be truly honest with myself I've decided I can't be in a relationship with you
29:02it was very hard to just stand there and and wave goodbye and see her go
29:09she is one of the most caring
29:12positive people I have ever
29:29goodbye and see her go. She is one of the most caring, positive people I have ever met.
29:39I've loved every moment of being with Susan in this experiment.
29:52Nursing a broken heart, Sean has called on his best mate Reece for support.
29:57So mate, what happened between you and Susan?
30:00Oh look mate, you know from the wedding day it was, you know, we got off on a great start.
30:06She had everything I'm looking for in a girl but unfortunately just our lifestyles were a little bit different.
30:12So mate, are you going to talk to her again? Are you going to see the lady again?
30:21Oh look, you know, we've still been talking, we've still been texting and talking to each other.
30:26And I still do miss her, you know, like I spent six weeks with her, eight weeks or something with her.
30:33And you know, like we had a great time together and I did many things and you know,
30:38I got to experience many things in my life I haven't done before and I got to do them with Susan.
30:43Meanwhile in Perth, Susan is having second thoughts.
30:52So are you missing him?
30:54Yeah, completely.
30:55We spent so long together every day and every night for the time of the experiment.
31:02Since the experiment ended and me and Sean contacting each other, I'm confused, I don't know what it means.
31:09The qualities in him are exactly what I wanted, especially at this stage in your life where you know what makes you happy and you know what you want around you to be happy.
31:20I think about Sean all the time. I think about good times that we've had together and I haven't even thought of dating anyone at all.
31:33Look, I love the girl. She's a beautiful girl. You know, what I'm looking for in a girl, she has, mate.
31:41She's restored my faith in women again, you know, because you know the battles I've had and didn't think there was a girl out there like that.
31:48The other day he messaged me saying he brought the photo that we got given that was being next to our bed every day and just said,
31:57Oh, I brought it to work for memories. And it's just saying beautiful things like that. You go, okay, I really, I really mattered to him.
32:05So if you think about it, other than lifestyle and the way you were matched, do you think there would be any possibility for you both?
32:14Um, I love Sean and always will. There's nothing he could do ever, being the person that I know he is, to ever hurt me.
32:27So I suppose when you meet an amazing guy like that, you never give up on the hope of something possibly working out.
32:39Maybe, I don't know, one day it could, it could be happily ever after.
32:48Because that's what I, um, that's what I wanted and that's what he wanted.
32:54Yeah, wait and see.
32:58With Susan holding strong regrets about her decision, across in Brisbane, Nadia's world is crumbling down as her Skype call with Anthony continues to haunt her.
33:16I'm really conscious about where Anthony and I have left off.
33:21You know, it weighs on my mind that my career choice and my lifestyle is, is not sustainable for a relationship long term.
33:29I've gone over and over and over a conversation.
33:35And I just can't seem to conclude it.
33:37If Anthony and I were to pursue a relationship together, I've got to start making some decisions and I'm going to make them fast.
33:46Hello.
33:47Hello.
33:48Hello beautiful girl.
33:49How are you?
33:50I'm good.
33:51How's Lava?
33:52How's Lava?
33:53Is that what you call him?
33:54Love it.
33:55So, it's been quite a long time since we Skyped and, um, feel like we've just sort of been treading water a little bit.
34:10Yeah.
34:11Yeah.
34:12It's a bit concerned about, yeah, about where we're at.
34:16Well, I think it's really hard when you're in separate places really, isn't it?
34:22Yeah.
34:23Right now, I'm a little bit unsure about me moving states because I feel like he's closing off and he's getting frustrated.
34:32It's kind of scary because I feel pretty strongly about we are moving forward and it really is so important for us to, um, you know, be living close by each other.
34:44I wish that Anthony would just say, I'd love for you to come to Sydney.
34:50I mean, there are no really strong reasons, like, why we shouldn't, you know, keep pursuing this.
34:57The thing is you don't know about the relationship as in how it's going to be five years down the track, how it's going to be two weeks down the track.
35:03Mm.
35:04Because who knows, you know?
35:05But in the end, no one else can make that decision for you.
35:09You actually have to be brave enough to make that choice.
35:14I want Anthony in my life and I adore him and I think he's a great guy and I want to still pursue this with him.
35:22But right now, for me to move to Sydney, I feel like I need that reassurance.
35:28And at the moment, it feels like we're pending.
35:31We're pending until we meet again.
35:35In Perth, the bombshell of Nick's dad's life-threatening illness has shaken Sharon to the core as she now faces the biggest decision of her life, whether to move to Melbourne.
35:53Nick and I are really going good and whenever I speak with him, I feel like I miss him more.
35:58Oh, that's lovely.
36:00Yeah.
36:01But with his dad, if it is as bad as we think, Nick needs to stay in Melbourne.
36:06Yeah.
36:07I don't know what to do.
36:08I completely understand if Nick needs to stay in Melbourne for his family because of that.
36:14And I wouldn't want him to move to Perth if that was the case with his dad.
36:19He doesn't need that undue pressure to be worrying about coming here or going there or staying, coming, whatever.
36:27Yeah.
36:28It sounds like you really like Nick.
36:29Yeah.
36:30Have you ever thought about maybe moving over there and see how you go?
36:34Yeah.
36:35I really miss Nick.
36:36I've got some really strong feelings for Nick and I just want to be there for Nick so he can support his dad.
36:42Without a doubt.
36:43But it should be just a natural, easy flow with the decision process.
36:47Well, when people love each other, it is easy.
36:50Even though you'll have your little hiccups along the way, you want to be with him and he wants to be with you.
36:55There's only one option I see for our relationship to work and that's for me to move to Melbourne.
37:04I'm at the point where I'm like, shit, I've got to make a decision here.
37:08In Brisbane, still shattered by Anthony's words, Nadia has booked a ticket to Sydney, determined to finally get some answers.
37:19So I'm about to go and see Anthony and I'm really nervous because I'm not sure he's feeling the same way.
37:26We've got some big decisions to make and we need to have conversations about where we're going and what our next step is going to be.
37:36Because when push comes to shove, I need some signs.
37:41I need to be sure that he's on the same page right now for me to move to Sydney.
37:46I need that reassurance.
37:48I'm wanting something like real.
37:51I am anxious.
38:01We haven't seen each other since that final ceremony.
38:06And it's been difficult since that time.
38:10We're trying to maintain a long distance relationship.
38:15And it is overwhelming.
38:17It's to be expected.
38:19You know, if I sit here and tell you it's easy, I'm lying.
38:23It's not.
38:29You come into this experiment looking for love.
38:33You hope that you're going to find that, you know, we've got very strong feelings for each other.
38:43But, you know, it's a love.
38:49I want to be sure.
38:50I want to be sure with the strength of our relationship.
38:54And how sure am I?
39:00Sydney is a lovely city.
39:04But it's foreign to me.
39:05And I'm so conscious of the fact that, you know, moving, like when I moved to Brisbane, how tough it was.
39:14These are things that we need to discuss.
39:15Because I don't have a lot of time.
39:18I need to start asserting myself more here.
39:21Because I need a green light from Anthony.
39:26I need answers.
39:33Nadia and I, we are at the age where we have to get this right.
39:42We're running out of time.
39:44You know, we're both in our mid-30s.
39:46And we both want the same thing long term.
39:52But are we right for each other?
39:55Ultimately, those big decisions we need to make.
39:59Thanks.
40:00And we've got to a point where, look, it's good, but it's not great.
40:09No problem.
40:11We are.
40:12And are we good at that like, oh, we've got to.
40:14Let's do it together.
40:15Let's do it together.
40:17поддерживал it.
40:19We're good.
40:21Let's do it together.
40:22We're good at it.
40:24We're good at it.
40:26You guys are gonna have to see it again.
40:29Ladies and gentlemen, the club, the club.
40:32We'll see as well as a person.
40:34What's a job for us?
