Marissa’s Mom Spoke to Ramses Off-Camera After That Love Is Blind Scene

Reflecting on this heartrending tale, it’s impossible not to feel empathy for the pain and confusion that unfolded. The protagonist found herself in a predicament where her desires were at odds with her partner’s rigid beliefs, leading to an unexpected breakup. Her naivety, her friends’ dismay, and her own struggle to cope are all testaments to the complexities of love, relationships, and personal growth.

Initially, during their honeymoon after stepping out from their pods on ‘Love Is Blind‘ season seven, Marissa George and Ramses Prashad appeared as if they were among the couples who would definitely reach the altar. Their enthusiasm was contagious, they complemented each other beautifully, and they both expressed that their intimate moments were exceptional. However, a few days before the wedding, their relationship unexpectedly and painfully fell apart – an incident that, according to George, was primarily one-sided.

For several weeks, signs of trouble had been apparent. George and Prashad clashed on topics like military matters, birth control, and family planning, with George appearing indifferent at best regarding wedding preparations. This caused Prashad to worry when an illness kept George from being intimate, which she found troubling because his initial response to her PMS symptoms and vitamin D deficiency was centered around their sexual relationship. Adding to the concerns of viewers, even George’s friends and mother seemed hesitant about the match, deepening the doubts that arose among spectators.

Similar to many developments during this season of Love Is Blind, the specific event that led to Maramses’ (Ramrissa) split seemed to transpire off-camera. One moment they were on a boat discussing his apparent lack of interest in buying her mother flowers, and the next they were in their apartment, both tearfully ending their relationship. To uncover the truth behind what actually occurred, I went directly to George herself for answers.

Was it the discussion you had with Ramses regarding his past marriage that led to your separation, or did he suddenly bring it up unexpectedly? Frankly, I wasn’t prepared for the depth of his doubts and fears that came up during our conversation. Although we’d had a difficult day before, when he shared what a family friend told him about his previous marriage and his ex-wife, I sensed trouble was brewing, but I didn’t anticipate our breakup. Instead, I thought to myself, “Wow, he’s really feeling the weight of this sadness. He tends to feel things deeply.

Prior to this discussion, I found myself expressing, “It seems something isn’t quite right.” It’s often the case in a romantic relationship for a man to exhibit unusual behavior, prompting me to question, “What’s going on?” He then acknowledged, “Yes, I’ve been having reservations.” I’m not sure if he would have addressed it otherwise.

In our conversation, you inquired about who I managed to meet from Ramses’s circle. As it turns out, I had a chance to interact with several members of his family and close friends via video calls or face-to-face meetings. These encounters included his mother, who was delightful and quite attractive; his brother and niece; David, his closest friend who assisted with the tux fitting; and two of Ramses’s female companions, whom I should clarify are just friends, not ex-girlfriends. The discussions went exceptionally well, and there was a shared observation that our energies were different yet complementary. However, it seemed like none of his friends asked him about this change until it was too late, with the possible exception of his brother during the day before the breakup.

That was incredibly shocking! To be honest, if he had been more open about his feelings earlier in the relationship and said something like “I care for you deeply, but there are some things we need to work out before I can move forward,” it would have made the breakup less abrupt. However, when someone is constantly expressing their full commitment to you daily, only to suddenly announce “Not only do I no longer wish to marry you – I don’t want to date you anymore, or engage in any activity with you,” it feels jarring and unexpected.

At that point, you feel like your world’s upside down, really. You’re like, “Am I freaking crazy?”

Reflecting on the conversation now, it’s clear that Ramses was gradually detaching. His lack of enthusiasm was telling. At first, he expressed eagerness to be involved, but as time went by, I found myself handling everything. It wasn’t that I had a lot of free time, but I felt compelled to take charge because if I didn’t, who would? He wasn’t responding to wedding planning emails, so I ended up managing them while in class.

At the moment, I let things go since I accepted his words as truth. Essentially, what I’m implying is: “If there are any uncertainties, let’s discuss them openly. If there are, that’s fine. It won’t lead to us splitting up, but we can talk about it instead.” And if he insists there are no doubts, then what am I supposed to do? Confront him and say, “Well, you’re deceiving me?

In reflection, it might have been more accurate for me to say, “Although you claim certainty, your actions don’t seem to match. However, considering the pressure of filming and managing multiple tasks, I sensed he was struggling, so I felt compelled to lend a hand.

After the breakup, you phoned your mom to discuss it. What did she say when you informed her that the wedding was cancelled? Well, she took my feelings quite seriously as they were hers too, since I was distraught. At the time, she was on her way to meet me and Ramses, as the wedding was coming up soon and she was driving up to stay overnight. Upon hearing the news, she reacted by saying, “Alright then, let me speak with him.” To which I replied, “No, you’ll just end up scolding him!

However, contrary to what one might expect, she approached him privately out of camera’s view and pleaded with him, “Could you not do this to my daughter? It’s evident that you two have feelings for each other. What’s the issue here?” She was attempting to reason with him about the situation, expressing her concerns while also suggesting a possible solution. To my surprise, her reaction differed significantly from what I had anticipated.

To clarify, it sounds like the relationship ended completely, not just delayed or postponed, right? Despite his expressions of love and desire, he chose to end things due to logical considerations, even suggesting alternatives such as remaining engaged or simply dating. However, you were open to finding a compromise, but he was firm in his decision. Essentially, the breakup was inevitable and out of your control.

This inflexibility in our discussions brought to mind the stubborn refusal of Ramses towards condoms. How did you interpret his resistance, and did you eventually find a way to reach an understanding or compromise?

At the moment, I realized it was a difficult situation, but now reflecting on it, I essentially advised him to use protection or face the repercussions, and he chose not to do so. In hindsight, I often wonder, if the situation had led to pregnancy, would I be blamed for it? Would he have acknowledged that he didn’t want children? To be honest, I can’t say for certain.

It seemed as though you found yourself in quite a predicament, given the circumstances. You know, considering we didn’t utilize contraceptives, and that was due to my willingness to accept whatever might come from not using protection. I was rather naive about such matters then. As I work on addressing some of my people-pleasing and compromising tendencies, I would express it differently now: “If you aren’t open to the possibility of having a child within the next year, then we should either use contraceptives or abstain from sexual activity.

How did your friends react when you informed them that you and Ramses had split up? Well, they were quite upset, I must say. In fact, their anger hasn’t subsided yet. It seemed that they had been making allowances for this person in their lives, considering him as a potential husband for me. They didn’t appreciate his judgmental attitude towards divorce and the military, but they also cherished our companionship. They acknowledged the love we shared, and they saw how much I was in love with him, and he loved me in return. Therefore, they supported our relationship. However, when we broke up, they were enraged by the circumstances. They despised how it unfolded, and they hated how deeply it hurt me, so they hold that man in contempt.

After witnessing one of the most painful breakups I’ve ever come across, I can’t help but wonder about your journey to healing. For me, those initial days were a blur of tears and silence. I couldn’t speak or think clearly; it felt like my existence was pointless. The fact that Ramses and I weren’t together anymore was painful, and it left me feeling devastated, but what truly knocked me off my feet was the shock of not seeing this breakup coming. It made me feel foolish and stupid. To be honest, it even shook my confidence in all the progress I’ve made in therapy over the years. So, could you share your story of healing from such a profound heartbreak?

It’s been approximately six months since I started feeling more like my usual self again, having made the decision to quit drinking. My social life was quite active, involving a lot of going out and heavy drinking, which led to some irresponsible behavior. Recognizing this, I decided to take a break from such activities. Of course, I also sought help through therapy. Spending time with my friends and family has been crucial in helping me deal with the situation.
