David Trimble was eager to find the love of his life when he signed up for Married at First Sight but it seems the experts have failed him.
He was matched with Michelle Tomblin and she was not impressed.
Despite not finding the spark during their initial introduction, there was hope for the couple until Michelle found out her new husband still lived with his parents.
That was a major red flag for Michelle and she couldn’t get past it despite David’s reassurance that the situation was only temporary.
Unfortunately, the first few weeks of their marriage have been miserable, although David has been patient with his wife.
The experts have intervened but haven’t been able to change Michelle’s mind about David and it’s even worse behind the scenes.
David was a guest on the MAFS Afterparty and shared that when the cameras aren’t rolling, they don’t communicate at all.
We know things aren’t going well for David’s marriage, but there’s more to learn about the Chicago groom.

However, he doesn’t just live with his mom and dad; he also plays a big role in the family business.
He’s been working at the family bar in Chicago for 16 years, starting in 2008 as a manager/bartender, which means he’s been pulling double duties for the past several years.
