Married at First Sight star Taylor Dunklin has cried over the thought of how her marriage to Brandon Reid turned out nearly one month into the experiment, saying she never believed things would be this tough.

"Taylor how have your hopes for where you'd be one month in matched up with the reality of where you are now?" host Jamie Otis asked on the March 11 broadcast of Married at First Sight: Unfiltered on Lifetime.

"Actually, I never hoped for any of this that I'm going through right now," Taylor admitted.

"I knew things were going to be tough. I knew things were going to be difficult, but I had no it would be this tough or this difficult. This has just not been fun."

So far on Married at First Sight's tenth season, Brandon has accused Taylor of being "rehearsed" and on the show for the cameras, her platform, and to gain social-media followers.

Brandon also lashed out Taylor by yelling and cursing at her on the last day of their honeymoon in Panama because he had grown tired and frustrated with production following him around all day.

In addition, Taylor alleged Brandon put very little effort into communication and their relationship in general once they settled into a Washington, D.C. apartment together after their honeymoon.

Taylor has said she felt ignored and disrespected every day of her marriage nearly one month in, and she was tired of Brandon believing she had ulterior motives for being his wife.

As Taylor continued dishing out her feelings on Unfiltered, she started to cry.

"I really wanted this thing," Taylor began, choking back her tears. "I'm sorry. But I mean -- I'm sorry."

Married at First Sight expert Pastor Calvin Roberson assured Taylor she had nothing to apologize for.

And then Taylor said, "It's just hard, like, 'Yo, this is really what I went through?'"

"But yeah, I'm sorry. [My crying] will be over in a second," she noted.

Taylor fanned her face and then said, "Honestly, it's really sad. I came into this knowing it was going to be a lot of fun. It's just not what I was expecting, so I'm hoping that, you know, Brandon and I can really find that friendship, find that fun."

Taylor hoped she and Brandon could "just have fun with this" because they only had a few weeks left of the Married at First Sight experiment until "Decision Day," when each of the five couples must decide whether they'd like to stay married or get divorced.

"Let's get to know each other, try to put the past in the past, and just finally move forward on a good note," Taylor suggested, as if Brandon was right in front of her.

Pastor Cal chimed in and said, "That would be great," before Jamie pointed out she was still hopeful Brandon and Taylor's marriage could work out.

But on Brandon's side of things, he was skeptical of Taylor's intentions because she had allegedly admitted she had wanted to be on a reality TV show for a while. Taylor allegedly told Brandon that she was close to being cast on Temptation Island, for example, but things didn't work out due to bad timing.

Not only did Brandon disapprove of Taylor's constant phone use and large social-media following, but Taylor also posted a video on Instagram Stories he ultimately found "disrespectful" and "disgusting."

Taylor claimed in the video she was single and looking for a man who could meet her "minimal" requirements, which included someone who's 6'3" or taller, so Brandon moved out of their apartment and seemingly ignored his wife's attempts to talk until the pair was forced to reunite for a session with Married at First Sight expert Dr. Pepper Schwartz.

Once they participated in a counseling session, Taylor admitted she wasn't sorry for the video because it "wasn't directed at Brandon" and she can post whatever she wants on Instagram.

As shown on the latest episode of Married at First Sight's tenth season, Taylor didn't want to give up so easily on her marriage, so she invited Brandon to get a manicure with her at a nail salon.

Taylor made a peace offering by giving Brandon a card for their one-month anniversary with an apology written inside, but it wasn't enough for Brandon, who told the cameras Taylor had taken the easy way out and he wasn't convinced her apology was genuine.

Taylor acknowledged she just wanted to build a friendship with Brandon but he never let things go and always seemed to think he was being attacked on a personal level.

"I just want to move on with my life. I want to cut all of this and be done with it. This has just been a cluster F and it's stupid," Brandon told Taylor on last week's broadcast.

Brandon added that Taylor wanting to be friends was "a slap in the face," and so Taylor felt defeated in her relationship.

"My wife is a narcissist. She doesn't see anything wrong and she has a problem with admitting when she's wrong, and I can't be with someone who can't even admit when they are wrong," Brandon told a Diary Cam.

"Here she is making mistake after mistake, and she's not owning up to any of those mistakes."

Married at First Sight's tenth season also stars Mindy Shiben and Zach Justice, Meka Jones and Michael Watson, Katie Conrad and Derek Sherman, and Jessica Studer and Austin Hurd.
