Viewers have slammed a MAFS husband for his cold display towards his wife when she became emotional after making a simple kissing request during the homestays.
Lyndall became upset on Monday night’s show while discussing her concerns about Cameron’s lack of affection towards her while at his Northern Territory home.
The two had been having some issues prior to the trip, however Lyndall had high hopes that their relationship would enter smoother waters once they left the hotel room they had been cooped up in for so long for the experiment.
However, unfortunately that wasn’t the case.
During her time with Cam in the territory, things took an unexpected turn when she found herself putting fish food in her mouth before putting her face in the water to feed barramundi as his mate Andy’s house.
But then, the couple had a heated argument after Cam declined her request for a kiss.

“It was over a kiss,” he said. “Like, yeah, this is ridiculous.”
“Alright, if it’s ridiculous then don’t f***ing worry about it,” she replied.
“I didn’t think it was a big deal. I really didn’t think it was. You know, I was sitting there feeding fish and I said I probably could have yeah, but … you know, I’m just excited to be home.”
She responded: “That moment out there was exactly like out honeymoon when we went to the lake, you kissed me hundreds of times you didn’t even think about it you wanted to. I don’t know why you don’t want to. You don’t think about it.”
He insisted: “It wasn’t a ‘don’t want’ …
However, she wasn’t letting it go.
“But for weeks, it’s been oh, not affectionate. It’s ‘cause ‘I’m not home,’ it’s ‘cause ‘it’s the environment. Now we’re here in your environment, you still don’t want to. How do you think it makes me feel? I feel rejected every time you do it.”
He said: “That’s not, that’s not what … I’m more than happy to give you a kiss. I just feel like, right now I don’t want to have this little issue over you meeting my friends and having a good time.”
“I don’t want to either but it’s hard for me to go out there and act like everything’s all fine when I feel like, ‘I feel like why the f** am I in Darwin’,” she said. “I came all this way and you don’t even want to kiss me what relationship am I even looking at the end of the day.”
He was stunned: “It was just one kiss … over a kiss”.
It wasn’t just one, actually.
An upset Lyndall responded: “I’m in Darwin, it’s stinking hot, my hands smell like fish, I’ve got kissed by a barra!”
Cam tried to comfort her – by putting his arm around her from a distance.
Viewers were furious at Cam’s coldness towards Lyndall, with many mocking the distance he put between them while trying to “comfort her” with a hug.
