In a clip from the first episode of theMarried At First Sightseason 18 reunion, David and Allen are shown talking about what went down during the season, with Allen calling David out for his behavior.“In the long run…I look like a fool,”Allen shared, explaining that he was defending David’s character when people came to him asking about Madison’s connection to Michelle’s husband. Pointing out how hurtful David’s actions were,Allen looked to David for an explanation.“As a man, I shouldn’t have done that,”David explained.“And I’ll be 100 with you, I shot my shot.”

What David’s Poor Excuse For Behavior With Madison Means For Relationship

David’s Still Not Taking Accountability For His Actions

Although David’s behavior has been shown in pieces throughoutMarried At First Sightseason 18, the major part of his deception with Madison that hasn’t been tackled on the show revolves around Allen and Michelle. WhileDavid and Madison’s relationshipwas questioned by the experts and shown to an extent on screen,David and Allen’s conversation at the couple’s retreat was one of the only moments where David could’ve taken accountability. In contrast, Madison has refused to take any accountability, especially with Allen directly. David’s poor behavior during the reunion makes it clear not much has changed.

David’s decision to bypass the accountabilityhe should be taking about his relationship with Madison is a confusing decision, but it makes sense for David as he’s been depicted on screen. While he’s chasing a relationship that will make him feel validated and happy, the fact that he’s refused to acknowledge that he hurt Allen in the process isn’t a shock. Though David likes to believe he’s a good guy on the outside,his behavior has contradicted him time and time again. Unfortunately, David’s poor excuses for his relationship won’t help Allen or Michelle move past the pair’s deceptive behavior.

Our Take On David Admitting He Shouldn’t Have “Shot His Shot”

David Doesn’t Seem To Understand He Made A Mistake

As David has navigated his life afterMarried At First Sight,which appears to include a relationship with Madison,he’s opened up a bit more about what he’s done and how he feels. ThoughDavid isn’t taking accountability for his actions, it’s clear that he does feel some sort of way about going behind Allen’s back and, to a degree, Michelle’s. David sharing with Allen that he “shot his shot” is a weak defense, but theMarried At First Sightcast member likely doesn’t have much more of an excuse for his actions. Sadly, David has struggled to rationalize his decisions.
