Episode 19 of Married at First Sight season 16 aired on Lifetime this Wednesday, May 10, at 8 pm ET. The episode featured Nicole and Chris' last date before the decision day where the couple has to announce whether they want to stay married or get divorced. While things seemed to be normal between the two, Nicole asked Chris a question that soured his mood.

She asked Chris about their future living situation post-decision day as she felt that it was a huge commitment and if they can't decide their future plans, there must be something wrong in their marriage. Chris was shocked by this and confessed that he wanted to think about the same after the decision day, taking things "one day at a time."

Nicole soon changed the topic and added that she herself did not want to make a decision on how she felt today. Chris wanted to wait for a while as a house was a very big "financial" decision that could impact them in a lot of ways.

Nicole and Chris also talked about not just living in a "happy bubble " in their marriage and not becoming way too "comfortable" with each other over time.

Despite their conversation, Nicole told the other ladies that she was afraid that Chris might "lose himself" in trying to take care of her. She also added that she hoped Chris did not get "afraid to say no" for the sake of her happiness on decision day.

Married at First Sight fans called out Nicole for asking such a big question even before the couple made their final decision.
