“Wanted a reason to leave” — Love is Blind fans call out David for questioning Lauren’s past

Love is Blind Season 8 has once again sparked controversy, and David is at the center of it this time. After he started to question Lauren's past in Episode 9, his relationship with her took a drastic change, and viewers seemed upset with his behavior. What once looked like a promising connection soon fell apart as viewers began to wonder about David's genuine motivations as his worries turned from their current relationship to Lauren's past.

Earlier in the pods, David and Lauren quickly developed a close emotional bond after beginning their adventure with great chemistry. But after they got engaged, their relationship started to exhibit signs of weakness.

Their greatest problem arose when David began questioning Lauren about her history, which resulted in an awkward and emotional exchange. His skepticism appeared to overwhelm their relationship, giving Lauren the impression that she was being harshly condemned rather than welcomed.

Several fans on social media accused David of seeking a reason to break up instead of confronting his own worries head-on.

A Love is Blind viewer wrote from their X account,

"Dave just wanted a reason to leave Lauren cause he never wanted her in the first place. So he’s blowing this out of proportion just so HE’s not the reason why things are done #LoveisBlind"

Another X user shared similar thoughts,

"Dave is just looking for an out. He was a d**ch* in the pods & he’s still being one w/this stupid drama. Whoever this guy is, is just trying to ruin things for her. Dave’s insecure because of how he has treated women in the past & afraid karma is on his doorstep #loveisblind"

"Anyone in their right mind can tell that Dave is just using a bunch of excuses to not get married to Lauren 🙄 #LoveIsBlind," read another post on social media.

More fans of Love is Blind called out David for questioning Lauren.

A netizen wrote, "Dave has a long excuse list, his sister, Lauren's ex . I think he's just waiting to meet the other lady he was chatting to in the pods before going all in #LoveIsBlind"

"Dave is really a bitch I can’t believe he’s dragging it this much. #LoveIsBlind," another person called out.
