Married At First Sight: Signs Villain David Trimble’s Ego’s Out Of Control (His Disastrous Living Situation Is Just The Beginning)
David Trimble and Michelle Tomblin have shown red flags from the start of Married At First Sight season 18, but his ego is out of control and will be the factor that ruins their relationship. Michelle was unimpressed with David’s social smoking habit and living situation in the premiere but vowed to give him a chance after sobbing with her friends in the bathroom. On the other hand, David was thrilled as Michelle fulfilled his type of a blonde, blue-eyed, and bubbly woman. As Married At First Sight season 18 unfolds, cracks have opened in their relationship.
Known for managing his family’s bar and living in his parent’s basement, David’s lifestyle has raised eyebrows about his readiness for marriage. As if he couldn’t have more red flags, David’s idea of building intimacy has been complicated by allegations of past infidelity and being a self-proclaimed player. Rumors of sexting and dissatisfaction with Michelle further challenge his commitment to the experiment, casting doubt on his intentions and compatibility. Worst of all, however, is his big ego.
David Trimble’s Disastrous Living Situation May Show Arrogance
Michelle was shocked when she found out her new husband still lived with his parents, making David a villain in Married At First Sight season 18. Why does he think he can live like this as a 36-year-old man? He takes up residency in his parent’s basement, a choice linked to his involvement in managing the family bar and the choice of many young men who have failed to launch over the years. David’s living situation is a major red flag.
While he has an impressive professional background, holding a degree in Social Work from Concordia University and working as a Family Resource Specialist and Project Manager, his lack of independence is a red flag. However, it goes deeper than that. David is arrogant about living with his parents and thinks he could pass it off as a smart business decision or a way to help his parents. Saving money is one thing, but he seemed to think he could coast by on his parents’ finances for as long as possible.
David May Be Trying Too Hard To Seem Like A Good Guy
Since tying the knot with Michelle on Married At First Sight season 18, David wants to seem like the good guy, and it’s coming off as disingenuous. Michelle’s concerns about David are legitimate. He lives in his parents’ basement, he makes excuses about his lifestyle, and accusations of past infidelity have come up. Michelle was also genuinely disgusted by his social smoking habit. She’s not a diva or stuck up to voice these concerns, as they’re valid.
David’s all about “good vibes only” but is constantly giving Michelle “the ick.” She needs to follow her gut and leave.
David’s cool and calm demeanor makes Michelle look like the bad guy, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. He’s obviously trying to make himself look better to the cameras, gaslighting Michelle into thinking she’s overreacting to his flaws. As the season goes on, it will become clear David is actually the bad guy masking as a good guy.
David Trimble Seems Like Trouble
Michelle and David have their issues in Married At First Sight season 18, but David seems like trouble. He has shown an unwillingness to adapt, and while Michelle could’ve given him a better chance, his stubbornness regarding his living situation was a major turn-off. There are also rumors that David cheated on Michelle with another cast member, Madison, who clearly wasn’t attracted to Allen, her partner.
Allegations of David and Madison’s cheating have not been confirmed by either party.
It’s unclear whether David and Madison will swap partners, but David and Michelle aren’t compatible. While it’s easy to blame Michelle for the situation, David’s ego and unwillingness to change are the root cause. Michelle would be smart to run away on Married At First Sight season 18.
