Genevieve and Aaron break up on Bachelor in Paradise

On tonight's episode of Bachelor in Paradise, Genevieve began by reflecting on her relationship with Aaron and opened up about how she was terrified of making a decision about their future outside of the show. Although Aaron handed her a rose the previous night, she was still skeptical of what he had to say about their potential future and wonderef if there was a possibility of them getting engaged.

The duo sat down to discuss their future. Genevieve noted that they had a lot to figure out. She added that there was a significant conversation they were yet to have. Aaron echoed the sentiment, but also mentioned that he was conflicted about his feelings and the couple potentially sharing their lives with each other.

Aaron began by talking about how he felt when he first saw Genevieve on the beach. He revealed that he had, in fact, fallen in love with her. The Bachelor in Paradise star also noted that he faced many ups and downs with Genevieve, but it was all worth it. However, he brought up a persistent issue with her that made him feel hesitant. He said:

"The main thing that I have an issue with us is...whenever there is something wrong, you wanted to leave...and you've packed your bags and you've been on the road and that's scary for me.."

With this issue, Aaron explained that he wanted someone who would fight for him and go through all the difficult aspects of a relationship with him. After stating all of these reasons, he confessed to not being able to continue the relationship outside of the show, leaving Genevieve upset.

After she walked away from Aaron, Genevieve revealed to Victoria that he put all the blame for the failure of their relationship on her and didn't acknowledge that both of them were responsible for this outcome. She then decided to address her concerns one final time on Bachelor in Paradise.

Aaron then explained that he never intended it to blame things entirely on her. However, he maintained that he was skeptical of her habit of leaving after the smallest fight and the uncertainty that it held for the future of their relationship. Eventually, Genevieve walked away from him, marking an end to the couple.
