Married At First Sight‘s Clare Verrall and Jono She’s-Not-What-I-Ordered Pitman haven’t exactly remained friends after their experimental marriage breakup.
In fact, it seems the feuding we saw on our tellies has spilled out onto social media, and the swipes coming from Clare’s corner are sassier and more brilliant than we could have ever imagined.
In the early hours of this morning, shortly after Australia witnessed Jono wriggle his wedding ring off, Clare took to Instagram to post the below snap. Don’t recognise the book she’s reading? That might be because it was written in 1913…

Oh wow, you guys just don't stop kicking the boot in, do you? I'm beginning to think that there is some kind of personal vendetta against the guy!
He never said that about putting on weight. We got a snippet of a general conversation they were having about looking after yourself. I guess that can be taken to mean looking after your weight. The discussion led to the point where Jono took offense to (what seemed like an accusation from Claire) the idea that he would be someone who wouldn't like his wife gaining weight after childbirth. "If you think I would be that guy, you have no idea who I am." He was actually really cross.
Unfortunately it seems that Clare lacks the self awareness to realize that her own behaviour sabotaged this relationship far more than anything Jono did. Now, she can't let it go and has a posse of friends in social media supporting her in her view that she was "right" all along and that Jono is some kind of angry, ignorant Neanderthal. I don't think Clare will succeed in love till she understands and changes the behaviour patterns that have held her back. These include controlling, domineering, failure to compromise and empathise, and being critical and condescending.
