Another couple bites the dust in Love Is Blind Season 4's latest episodes. Contestants Marshall Glaze and Jackie Bonds called off their engagement after a series of emotional ups and downs.
"You know, it happens. I’ve been through enough breakups to know that," Marshall shared.

"Obviously, my feelings were hurt in the process. But at the end of the day, it’s just your life. You have to do what’s best for you. And she did just that, and I don’t have any bad feelings about it. It sucked, yeah. But it is what it is."
In one of their last arguments that eventually led to the split, Jackie asked Marshall "to be more aggressive" in the bedroom. After taking the comment as his fiancée questioning his masculinity, Marshall left their shared home.
Marshall clarified that while Jackie never said those words verbatim, "It was my interpretation of it," he said. But, ultimately, what led to the split, he stated, was the difference in "emotional maturity."
"She very much put that she can’t give me what I need as far as the emotional availability or rise to my emotional maturity. Not that she doesn’t have that within her, but it just kind of paled in comparison. And that’s okay. Not everybody has the same level of emotional maturity as we’re talking about."
In the same episode, closing their chapter even further, Jackie reconnected with her other pod connection, Josh. But that doesn't mean another engagement is in the works. "I don't even know if I'm gonna be with Josh," she said in a confessional. "I don't know if I'm gonna be with anybody." She concluded, "I need to probably do some self-work."
Jackie has since shared some of her difficulties captured on camera were due to the stress of caring for an ailing father with cancer, alongside her day job as a dental assistant. She also has a brother who was recently released from prison. "Family comes first," she said.
Despite the breakup, Marshall seems to be doing just fine, and he’s found what so many are searching for: Self-acceptance. "I’ve heard that I’m soft my entire life. And that’s okay," he shared. "It took me a long time to get to the point of acceptance."
"I accept myself for exactly who I am. I’m unapologetic about my sensitivity, my emotions, and the fact that I wear my heart on my sleeve. I love myself, and I put myself out there. And that’s all that I could ever truly ask or hope for out of anybody: just to put it all out there."
