The struggle is real. Stacia Karcher and Nate Barnes provided viewers with some of the sexiest Married at First Sight moments yet, but the season 15 Where Are They Now? special reveals that the lovebirds are struggling — and on the verge of a split.

“I asked Nate for a separation … Well, a divorce, I guess,” Stacia tells her mother, Stacy, in Us Weekly‘s exclusive clip from the Wednesday, November 16, episode.

Her mother is bewildered. “Which one? Is it a separation, [meaning] ‘let’s see if we can work on it’? Or is it divorce, [meaning] ‘I’m done’?” she asks.

Like, I don’t think anybody should’ve came into this process like, ‘Oh yeah, I want to get married to this stranger but I wanna move slow now.’ I’m like ‘OK, so why did we get married then?'”

The two struggled throughout Married at First Sight season 15. Though their sexual chemistry was off the charts, Nate was resistant to the idea of moving in together and didn’t have the same timeline for children. Stacia said she wanted a family ASAP while Nate wanted to build their “emotional connection.” In the MAFS reunion special, they said they were living at both his place and hers, alternating every few weeks, which Nate claimed was “healthier” for them.

In Us‘ clip, Stacia’s mom goes on to remind the entrepreneur that she’s unique. “You have to realize your pace is a lot different than normal paces,” Stacy says. “You know what you want and you’ll go after it, and a lot of people aren’t there.”

The newlywed wonders if she should find someone who matches her pace. “Do I stay with somebody who’s not there and be anchored down?” she
