SinceLove Is Blindseason 7 premiered, it has seen some of the most interesting characters, including Stephen Richardson, who apparently was texting another lady when the cameras weren’t rolling. Monica, a 37-year-old sales executive, connected with Stephen, a 34-year-old electrician, through their incredible conversations about race and other aspects of life. They seemed perfect for each other.Monica admitted she previously went for physical connection firstand cared to know where her past boyfriends had traveled and their credentials.
However,there were early signs of discordas soon as the twosome landed in Mexico for their honeymoon. Another problem was Stephen’s history with cheating, which Monica dismissed just because he’d brought the topic up and seemed contrite about the situation. Monica had given Stephen grace to be open about it with her and even told him he had been too hard on him.
