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's sense of humor, and she got annoyed that she had to push him to do and enjoy new activities with her.
During the February 22 episode of Married at First Sight: Afterparty, Domynique watched back a Season 16 clip of an argument she and Mackinley had while moving their belongings into their new Nashville apartment.

"I just feel like complete sh-t, since the honeymoon -- that I ruined your time, that I'm some super negative assh-le who cracks bad jokes," Mackinley tells Dominique in the footage.
"And you don't think that I feel bad?" Domynique asks in reply, before venting to the cameras how she couldn't take Mackinley's "negative attitude" and "pettiness."
Domynique ultimately determined she wasn't going to move in to the neutral apartment the show had provided for the new spouses.
Afterparty host Keshia Knight Pulliam asked Domynique what exactly made her decide against moving in with Mackinley.
"Mack goes on a five, seven, 10-minute rant about how he's kind of teetering that line, of like, 'Why did they put us together?' I'm just kind of like, 'If this is how you're going to talk to me, then I'm just going to go home,'" Domynique explained.

When asked what happened that made her marriage so bad, Domynique explained, "I would say on-camera, Mack is very sweet and he's very respectful. And he is all of those things! He is. At the end of the day, he is all those things."
She continued, "But there is another side of him -- the complaining you don't really see. And in the clip of him being at my apartment, I feel like you kind of get a glimpse of the negativity and the complaining and the attitude, if you will."
"And that's really what it's like off-camera," she added.

Domynique revealed there was a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde type of situation going on with her husband.

Domynique, for example, claimed Mackinley "talked a big game" when Pastor Cal wasn't around.
"He said, 'Pastor Cal thinks he's going to walk in here and say what he's going to say and we're going to change our minds about how we feel,'" Domynique alleged.
Instead, Domynique claimed Mackinley "tucked his tail" and didn't speak his mind when they actually sat down with the show expert.
But Keshia asked if Domynique had given Mackinley a real opportunity to show her who he is.
"I mean honestly, probably not to the full extent," Domynique confessed. "But from what I have seen, it's not going very good."

Domynique was just hoping she and Mackinley could "get on the same page," although she didn't even know what that page needed to be.
Keshia joked the couple needed to "get in the same book," and Domynique agreed she and Mackinley needed to have "some fun" and let loose.
"We need to create memories where we're both just excited and happy and enjoying each other's company," Domynique concluded.
On Married at First Sight's latest episode, Mackinley seemed disinterested in exploring Domynique's former apartment, and when Domynique asked her husband -- who was living in his friend's basement -- if he could see himself moving in there one day, he replied, "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 they hadn't even moved to Nashville with him 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, adding 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.
And when the pair had a counseling session with Pastor Cal, they both complained about how they didn't get what they had asked for in a partner. Domynique even told the expert he had "some explaining to do."
Domynique -- who confessed during a previous Afterparty episode that Mackinley wasn't her "type" -- told Pastor Cal that Mackinley wasn't outgoing, adventurous or optimistic, and Mackinley vented about how Domynique was too adventurous for him and didn't treat dogs the same way.
"I wanted marriage, but I didn't think I was going to get someone that's the polar opposite of me," Domynique griped. "I expected more."

Mackinley said he felt "judged" by Domynique's reaction to his basement living, and she confirmed it was "a turnoff" to her.
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.
