"A bit cold" Love is Blind: Sweden's Oscar reveals his temperament when he is upset with Alicia 

On March 20, 2025, Netflix's popular reality dating series Love Is Blind: Sweden made a triumphant comeback with three episodes. The conflicting personalities of Oscar and Alicia stood out among the couples dealing with relationship difficulties in Episode 6, "Her Goal Is To Destroy Us." Oscar acknowledged his emotional detachment when dealing with relationship issues in an open discussion with co-star Wictor.

"When things aren't great between us, she often comes up to me then, but I'm a bit more like, 'Don't touch me.' Like a bit... Yeah, a bit cold, that's it. I don't think she likes that. But that's how I am," Oscar confessed.

Love Is Blind: Sweden explores if emotional bonds may outweigh physical ones by following singles who date and become engaged without ever meeting. After connecting in the pods and becoming engaged without anybody seeing, Oscar and Alicia's post-pod adventure has shown them to have fundamentally different dispute resolution styles.

While Oscar craves solitude when upset, Alicia seeks closeness and reassurance—a mismatch that threatens their future together.

Love Is Blind: Sweden’s Oscar and Alicia’s clashing styles of conflict stir trouble

Oscar describes Alicia as having a "full of energy" attitude, which contrasts sharply with his own "calm" manner. This discrepancy becomes more troublesome when people argue. Alicia talked candidly with Jakob about how she needs physical proximity in trying times.

"I need to be very, very close to my partner when tackling difficult situations," Alicia shared, adding that Oscar's instinct to push her away when upset leaves her feeling rejected.

Since Oscar valued his "alone time" and "silence"—basic facets of his personality that conflict with her desire for connection and assurance—she bemoaned the fact that there didn't seem to be any way to resolve the issue.

Earlier in this episode of Love Is Blind: Sweden, tensions rose when Alicia suggested creating a shared calendar to coordinate their schedules. The suggestion clearly caught Oscar off guard.

"I'm a bit more spontaneous in private," he responded, adding that he needed to "mull that over" before committing to her organizational approach.

When Alicia began planning consecutive weekends together, including family meetups, Oscar pushed back with unexpected directness:

"So, sometimes I would appreciate it if only you went."

He then expressed his desire for solo evenings at home "cooking and watching a film," emphasizing that he not only enjoyed but "needed" such alone time—a statement that visibly disappointed Alicia.

Alicia confronts Oscar emotional distance posed by communication gap

The couple's communication struggles came to a head during a tense dinner conversation in this episode of Love Is Blind: Sweden. Alicia expressed frustration about Oscar's emotional opacity.

"I really can't tell how you feel because I can't hear anything in your tone of voice or see it in your facial expressions or even in your energy," she explained, adding that she sometimes wondered if he deliberately withheld emotional responses.

The situation left her "feeling uncertain" and as if she were "nothing"—strong words that highlighted the depth of her dissatisfaction.

Oscar defended himself by explaining he couldn't control his natural facial expressions but offered a compromise:

"If I just say things that I'm thinking, then you don't need to read my face because I'll say what I'm feeling and explain."

He acknowledged, however, that verbalizing difficult feelings remained "a challenge" for him.

The couple's story took another dramatic turn in Episode 7 when Tim—Alicia's former connection from the pods—reentered the picture. This unexpected development prompted Alicia to reconsider her feelings for Oscar.

There are major questions about whether this mismatched couple will make it to the altar after watching Alicia pack her things and leave their shared apartment in a shocking moment.

Oscar and Alicia's story serves as a reminder that, although love may be blind at times, successful relationships necessitate complementary communication styles and conflict resolution techniques as Love is Blind: Sweden progresses.
