This happened after Paul punched a door after Carina's past resurfaced that she had been physically intimate with a rapper. The experts were quick to intervene, stating that this sort of behavior wasn't normal.
Even though Paul realized his mistake and apologized multiple times, the experts called him out, stating he had to work on his issues. Meanwhile, the Married at First Sight: Australia star felt she was hurt by his reactive behavior.
But Carina was ready to leave this situation behind and move forward towards working on strengthening their connection further. During a conversation with 9Entertainment, Carina opened up about her feelings, she said:
"I wasn't scared, I didn't feel unsafe or uneasy. I was just really hurt, I was confused and I was sad. It was a very emotional time and we both were in our feelings and we both were really sad. I was disheartened by how reactive he was."

Married at First Sight: Australia star Carina opens up about her relationship with Paul
In her exclusive interview, the Married at First Sight: Australia star explained that she wasn't scared of Paul but rather hurt by his behavior. For Carina, this was a difficult time in their relationship as they both navigated each other's boundaries alongside the ups and downs in their connection.
"I didn't think a comment like that would make him react so impulsively and abruptly. He was very dramatic in the moment, and I was trying to suppress the situation and calm him down."
In front of experts, Paul admitted to his mistake and apologized to Carina, reassuring her that this wouldn't happen again. The Married at First Sight: Australia cast member stated that he was ready to work on himself and expressed his love for Carina. He also told the cameras that he didn't want his partner to feel "unsafe' around him and was ready to open up to professionals about addressing his behavior.
Meanwhile, Carina was ready to move forward and leave this situation behind in the past. She declared:
"It doesn't matter how much he can apologise and say sorry. I wanted the relationship to work. I forgave and I wanted to move forward with him and leave that in the past, and get that reassurance from him that he wasn't going to do that in the future."
The experts, on the other hand, warned Paul that he might have been eliminated from the experiment and that his behavior was unjustified. Paul expressed regret and felt guilty for his actions. He got emotional recalling his actions and said:
"I didn't want her to feel unsafe. That's the last thing that I would want."
