Slammed: Heavily pregnant former Married At First Sight star Tracey Jewel slammed Bryce Ruthven for his ‘toxic’ behaviour on Monday
‘It’s been hard to watch Melissa and Bryce’s relationship because I’ve been exactly where she is three years ago when I was on [the show],’ Tracey said.
She went on to say she struggled with her self-esteem on MAFS and would often put up with ‘toxic’ behaviour.
‘I too was terrified of rejection, abandonment and didn’t have much self worth when it came to putting up with guys and toxic behaviour,’ she said.
Personal: ‘I too was terrified of rejection, abandonment and didn’t have much self worth when it came to putting up with guys and toxic behaviour,’ Tracey said. Here: Bryce and Melissa
‘And this fear of rejection stemmed from way back being adopted at birth.’
Tracey went on to say that ‘attracting narcissists’ was her relationship pattern.
‘I felt unsafe expressing my needs, standing any ground was a struggle, and those types of guys liked it that way,’ she said.
Turmoil: ‘When matched with Dean, I was so worried about him leaving me rather than focusing on getting to know him and if he was a right fit for me,’ she said
She then went on to compare Bryce and Melissa to her own relationship with ‘groom’ Dean Wells.
‘When matched with Dean, I was so worried about him leaving me rather than focusing on getting to know him and if he was a right fit for me,’ she said.
Tracey went on to say that she learnt to value herself more after ‘watching myself back on TV’.
Personal growth: ‘Going through the experiment and discovering my worth as well as watching myself back on TV I had aha moments on how to break this pattern,’ she said
‘I developed boundaries of how I wanted to be treated and over time I learnt how to be vulnerable yet keep my independence and choose healthy relationships.’
She closed her statement with a scathing attack on the former radio announcer.
‘As for Bryce, I’m not wasting my time or words. Personally I don’t believe narcissists can change.’
Married At First Sight continues Tuesday at 7.30pm on Channel Nine
