Susan, How Could You? A MAFS Upheaval

Hearts broke on Sunday night as it was revealed Perth truck driver Susan would not commit to regional horseman Sean. Yes, there were internal screams and a flood of tears.

We were all Miley Cryus in Wrecking Ball: "I never hit so hard in love".

From the outset they were the couple that looked completely in sync and were smitten from the moment they laid eyes on each other. They seemed the best chance to see this experiment through and had the whole MAFS fandom behind them.

In last weeks dinner party Susan announced she would give the farm a go and move for love. Audiences rejoiced and the experts labelled it a 'bombshell' moment. At last these two had a chance at happiness with Susan admitting she would be foolish to give up on a future with Sean without trying farm life.

In a strange turn of events, and having spoken to a 'close friend' from back home, she backflipped. It turns out their lifestyles were too different and Susan could never see herself happily living in Maryborough. What a nightmare. And, all it took was one conversation to change her mind, seriously?!

The real issue I have with this whole thing is they way she broke his fragile heart. There were no tears, no sincere regret, not even a heartfelt apology. Susan, I'm disappointed.

I can't say I have experienced pulling off that bandaid but if you really love the person I would assume there should be a lot more emotion involved. As an avid viewer that has spent considerable time invested in the show, I expected more.

Susan, why were you so distant in your vows and why the hell aren't you living on the farm with Sean?

I understand that some of you may question Sean's commitment as he isn't willing to make life changing sacrifices and move to Perth, but the difference is he was upfront about it. Not only did Susan say she was willing to move for love but led Sean into thinking he had her heart and was prepared to leave city life behind.

As far as I know we only have a few episodes left of this season and I hope by some miracle Susan realises just how much she needs Sean in her life.
