Married At First Sight bride Stella Mickunaite has revealed the surprising solution she offered husband Filip Gregov after their sex life hit a rough patch\u00a0\u2013 suggesting he get a vasectomy.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively about the awkward moment that aired during Sunday night’s Commitment Ceremony, Stella said the conversation came after Filip admitted he was terrified of accidentally getting someone pregnant.<\/p>\n

‘So Filip was paranoid of making someone randomly pregnant and quite frankly, I only want kids in a happy marriage,’ Stella explained.<\/p>\n

The bride said the tension around pregnancy fears became a major discussion between them, especially after a period of low intimacy following the emotionally charged couples retreat.<\/p>\n

‘We also had a rough patch of low intimacy due to my fears in relationships plus the intensity of retreat and this was a big chat for us,’ she said.<\/p>\n

Stella also made it clear she had no intention of returning to hormonal contraception.<\/p>\n

Married At First Sight bride Stella Mickunaite has revealed the surprising solution she offered husband Filip Gregov after their sex life hit a rough patch \u2013 suggesting he get a vasectomy<\/p>\n

\"Speaking <\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively about the awkward moment that aired during Sunday night’s Commitment Ceremony, Stella said the conversation came after Filip admitted he was terrified of accidentally getting someone pregnant<\/p>\n

‘I am also never going to go back on birth control as it affects hormones for women,’ she said.<\/p>\n

Instead, she offered what she believed was a simple solution.<\/p>\n

‘As I am well versed in the area of going through miscarriage, birth control and hormones affecting the body, the\u00a0easiest solution was vasectomy,’ she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It’s 15 minutes. It’s safe. It’s reversible. And you can always access sperm when you need it.’<\/p>\n

Filip also addressed the conversation, admitting that the idea initially caught him off guard.<\/p>\n

‘I had a fear of getting someone pregnant as all us men do when we are involved with someone intimately,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘Never ever considered to get the snip for anyone. I’ve never been offered a solution like that before by anyone.’<\/p>\n

However, he said the discussion opened his eyes to a broader issue about expectations placed on women when it comes to contraception.<\/p>\n

\"Instead, <\/p>\n

Instead, she offered what she believed was a simple solution\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I guess this brings up a solid discussion though as to why the expectation that women will always be the ones taking one for the team as you can do it as a man as well,’ he added.<\/p>\n

‘I guess the rubber is the answer right?’<\/p>\n

The revelation comes after Sunday night’s episode showed cracks beginning to form in what had been one of the experiment’s strongest relationships.<\/p>\n

During the Commitment Ceremony, Stella admitted the dynamic between them changed after Filip confessed he loved her.<\/p>\n

Rather than feeling reassured, the declaration triggered deep fears of abandonment.<\/p>\n

‘I have whiplash,’ she told the experts.<\/p>\n

\"During <\/p>\n

During the Commitment Ceremony, Stella admitted the dynamic between them changed after Filip confessed he loved her<\/p>\n

She also revealed she had been spiralling over the couple’s future outside the experiment, particularly the fact Filip currently has no plans to move to Sydney.<\/p>\n

‘At the moment he doesn’t see Sydney as a possibility to move and in my head, this is a break\u2013up,’ she said.<\/p>\n

Filip admitted the pressure had been difficult to navigate and told the experts he sometimes felt Stella was trying to ‘take him down a peg’ during arguments.<\/p>\n

One example he raised was when Stella questioned his masculinity after he declined a night out following a long week.<\/p>\n

But the most shocking revelation came when the couple confirmed they had stopped being physically intimate.<\/p>\n

Stella explained that Filip’s fear of an accidental pregnancy had been a major factor in the pause.<\/p>\n

Her blunt suggestion that he get a vasectomy left the experts stunned.<\/p>\n

Relationship expert Alessandra Rampolla questioned whether Filip’s fear was being used as an excuse.<\/p>\n

‘It almost seems like a little bit of an excuse,’ she told the couple.<\/p>\n

Despite the awkward discussion, both Stella and Filip ultimately decided to stay in the experiment.<\/p>\n

The experts encouraged Stella to think more carefully before speaking, warning that some of her blunt comments could be hurting Filip’s feelings and contributing to their communication breakdown.<\/p>\n

Both wrote ‘stay’ at the ceremony, signalling they are determined to work through their issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Married At First Sight bride Stella Mickunaite has revealed the surprising solution she offered husband Filip Gregov after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":348715,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[539,93,61,60,36164,10796,3872,282,1489],"class_list":["post-348714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-dailymail","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-married-at-first-sight-australia","tag-reality-tv","tag-sydney","tag-tv","tag-tvshowbiz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=348714"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348714\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/348715"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=348714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=348714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
