Married at First Sight Melinda Willis breaks down during final commitment ceremony and takes aim at husband Layton Mills
Melinda Willis bravely poured out her heart as she revealed her feelings about Layton Mills’ refusal to participate in the partner swap challenge.
Melinda and Layton, who have had their fair share of ups and downs throughout the season, found themselves at the center of the drama during the controversial partner swap challenge.
While the challenge was designed to test the strength of the couples’ relationships, Layton’s refusal to commit left Melinda, 32, feeling vulnerable and alone.
During Sunday’s emotional commitment ceremony, Melinda fought back tears as she shared her disappointment and heartbreak with the pundits and fellow contestants.
“I came here to get out of my comfort zone. I signed up for an experience where I knew I would have to take on tasks outside of my control that I didn’t feel too comfortable with at times,” a- she started.

“Layton was very adamant. He didn’t want to do it. And when I tried to give him the perspective, he didn’t want a bar of it,’ she continued.
Expert John Aiken didn’t hold back when he confronted Layton about his decision, questioning his commitment to the relationship and the experience.
“I feel like Mel and I spent seven weeks in this experience and a lot of it was suppressed because of external noise…largely related to Bronte and Harrison,” Layton explained.
“Remember, Layton, it wasn’t designed to make you feel comfortable,” John scolded him.
A visibly uncomfortable Layton tried to defend his actions, saying he was trying to protect Melinda and their relationship.

However, John was quick to point out that his actions had the opposite effect, leaving Melinda feeling unsupported and abandoned.
Melinda then explained, “I’m in a very uncomfortable situation, I haven’t been thought of at all, I feel guilty and I’m conflicted. Like, did I do something wrong? Shouldn’t I have done that? And that, and that’s me.
