During the February 22 episode of Married at First Sight: Afterparty, Domynique watched back a Season 16 clip of Mackinley checking out his new wife's former Nashville apartment for the first time.
"I'm sure her apartment's great. It's not a basement; I'm the loser here living with family and friends, so that's my story so far," Mackinley tells the cameras with sarcasm and attitude in the clip.
Once they're inside, Mackinley calls Domynique's place "very nice," but he expresses little interest in receiving a tour or getting to know Domynique based on how she was living prior to signing up for Married at First Sight.
"I don't need to browse. You didn't browse my place," Mackinley says.
When reacting to the footage, Domynique shared of Mackinley, "Honestly, I feel like he's using me as a scapegoat."
"On our honeymoon, he kind of went on a rant talking about how he felt like he was being portrayed as a guy who lives in a basement. He felt like that the entire time, before I even saw his place," she explained.
Domynique therefore suggested Mackinley was worried he was going to have a bad edit and be viewed as a "loser" -- to use his own words -- on Married at First Sight.
"I felt like he was just kind of using me as a target, rather than accepting the fact, like, I mean, it could be a better living situation," Domynique admitted.

Domynique, however, told Afterparty host Keshia Knight Pulliam that she planned to "stay optimistic, stay open-minded, roll with the punches, and continue to have faith in the experts."

Domynique also revealed why she didn't want to move into the show's new neutral apartment with Mackinley on Afterparty, as well as what happened off-camera that made her tell Pastor Cal that she felt "over it" with Mackinley in her marriage.
While Domynique and Mackinley hit it off on their wedding day, their marriage started going downhill during their honeymoon in Jamaica. Domynique didn't appreciate Mackinley constantly cracking jokes and complaining about having to try new activities with her.
And about a week into marriage, Mackinley was tired of feeling like he couldn't do anything right. Mackinley felt criticized and nagged, claiming he wasn't trying to change anything about his wife.
On the latest Married at First Sight episode, Domynique was upset when Mackinley showed little interest in her apartment. When she asked him if he could see himself moving in one day, he replied, "I don't know. We'll see."
The couple then argued about how much freedom Mackinley's dogs could have in their place, and Domynique appeared to suggest Mackinley didn't care that much about his dogs if he hadn't even moved them to Nashville yet.
"Yeah, you're right. I guess I don't like my dogs and I don't care if they're here," Mackinley snapped at his wife, before explaining how he wanted to get settled with an apartment or house before involving his "kids."
While moving into their new apartment, Mackinley complained about how he had made compromises for Domynique, with her allegedly doing nothing in return.
During their chat with Pastor Cal, Domynique complained that the expert had "some explaining to do."

Mackinley also griped about how he felt "judged" by Domynique's reaction to his basement living, and she confirmed it was "a turnoff" to her because she had asked more a more establish man. Domynique also worried Mackinley had no ties to Nashville and could pack his bags and leave at any moment.
When Pastor Cal asked Domynique what she wanted to do, Domynique replied, "I don't know. Honestly, I'm just kind of over it."
"What does that mean? 'I'm over this conversation or I'm over the marriage?'" Pastor Cal asked.
The episode then ended in a cliffhanger, but Married at First Sight previews suggest there is a lot more drama to come for this couple.
