“We’re a toxic couple” Love is Blind: Germany's Tolga talks about his budding relationship with Shila, during their honeymoon 

Love is Blind Germany's fourth episode brought the show's newly engaged couples to the sunny shores of Crete, but paradise quickly turned stormy for one particular pair. In a moment of startling candor, Tolga delivered a prediction about his relationship with Shila that seemed more ominous than optimistic:

"Toxic Tolga and Toxic Shila. We're a toxic couple."

This declaration came as the couples attempted to transition their pod-formed connections into physical relationships during their honeymoon retreat.

This episode of Love is Blind, which aired as part of the show's January 3, 2025 premiere, showcases the unique challenges faced by participants who got engaged without ever seeing each other.

For Tolga and Shila, the last to get engaged in the pods, their first meeting already hinted at troubled waters ahead. While Shila was delighted to find Tolga was her "type," his response was notably less enthusiastic, admitting,

"It feels really weird to see Shila because she's actually a stranger I've never seen before."

The honeymoon phase proved anything but blissful for the newly engaged couple. Their interactions quickly revealed fundamental differences, particularly during a tense moment when Shila's comment about cooking for Tolga "if he behaved" struck a nerve. His response that marriage felt like "prison" marked an early red flag in their relationship.

As the retreat went on, Tolga's pain grew more obvious. In a particularly emotional confession to the other guys, he described his developing sensation of suffocation:

"So suffocating, it constantly feels like I've got a hand around my throat." "I can't breathe."

Meanwhile, Shila, completely oblivious and blissfully unaware, remained achingly positive, telling the other women they were a "match,".

The situation grew more complicated when Hannah, Tolga's other connection from the pods, became a topic of conversation. Hearing her described as someone who "knew how to live life" seemed to intensify Tolga's doubts about his choice.

Though he apologized to Shila for his confusion between her and Hannah, his reluctance to introduce her to his family spoke volumes about his uncertainty.

What’s next for the newly engaged couple?

The episode left viewers wondering about the future of this admittedly mismatched pair. Tolga's growing doubts and Shila's apparent unawareness of his true feelings suggest challenging times ahead. And drama. Lots of drama.

Their story is a striking reminder that, while love can be blind in the moment, reality has a way of putting everything into vivid view, sometimes even in technicolor. Let that thought cook.

Meanwhile, they were not the only pair encountering difficulties in paradise on Love is Blind. Pascal struggled to perceive Shella as his fiancée while enjoying her company, and Hanni and Ilias formed an unexpected bond, straining their relationships with Daniel and Alina, respectively.

The show also revealed that Sally had abandoned the experiment after finding her first meeting with Medina "awkward," referring to him as a "stranger."

As the honeymoon progresses, fans of Love is Blind wonder if Tolga and Shila will be able to overcome their initial difficulties or if his (rather unnecessary) prophecy about their "toxic" relationship will come true. With more trials ahead and the realities of life outside the experiment looming, the ultimate test of their pod-formed relationship is just getting started.
