Married at First Sight star Katie Conrad says Derek Sherman only tried initiating physical intimacy "one time" during their marriage and it seemed "so forced" to her.

Derek argued Katie had been on her period for about a week, adding in frustration, "The last time I tried f-cking making a move, you said, 'No!'"
Katie called Derek "defensive" and stormed out of the room in the clip, demanding that Derek not follow her or try to talk to her.
"It seemed like Derek suggested he does initiate and that you say 'no,'" Unfiltered host Jamie Otis said.
"So, Derek had tried -- one time -- and I felt like it was just so forced," Katie replied.
While Katie spoke her mind, Married at First Sight expert Pastor Calvin Roberson made a facial expression that let fans know he wasn't buying what Katie was selling.
"Pastor Cal, I know you're shaking your head at me, but the way it made me feel," Katie continued.
"I hear you, dear," Pastor Cal interjected, trying to make peace with her. "I hear you."
"The way it made me feel was like he doesn't even really want this right now, like, he's just doing what he feels he's expected to do," Katie explained.
"I respect that. I honestly do," Pastor Cal insisted.

Pastor Cal then asked, however, if Katie found herself comparing Derek to a past lover or ex-boyfriend.
"No!" Katie exclaimed. "I was not comparing him."
"Ohh!" Jamie said, as if Pastor Cal had just caught Katie in a compromising situation.
"I had to ask. I had to ask," Pastor Cal noted.
"Of course everybody at home is going to think that because there's a lot of talk about the ex," Katie continued, referencing how the beginning of Married at First Sight's tenth season featured Katie choosing between marrying a stranger or taking an ex-boyfriend back.
Pastor Cal chimed in, "Listen, well then here's your chance to say whether or not [that's the case]."
"Yeah, I went into this not comparing Derek to anybody. I've had enough relationships, I've had enough intimate experiences that I don't need to compare," Katie said.
Katie admitted earlier in the Unfiltered broadcast she often stirred up arguments with Derek to get attention from him and to test his feelings for her. She didn't feel Derek put much effort into their marriage when cameras weren't rolling.

Katie loved seeing the adventurous, bad-boy side of Derek, and he said he was "turned on" by her playful energy and the fact she was trying to embrace her inner-child.
"I think Katie could be the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with, the person I want to madly love and never look back," Derek said in a confessional in the latest Married at First Sight episode.
"So, I need to figure out how to reassure Katie that she should say, 'Yes,' [on Decision Day]. I want her to say, 'Yes.'"
Katie, however, wasn't sure Derek was the guy for her since they aren't very compatible and had developed more of a friendship than a romance. She seemed torn on whether to stay married come "Decision Day."
"I don't feel special at all... There is a giant emotional disconnect. As soon as I think I'm closing the gap, it shoots way open again," Katie explained to her father Dante.
Katie didn't think Derek knew how to express himself, and she called him "a boy" instead of a man.
Katie had been hoping for an older, more mature man waiting for her at the altar, but she said she got a baby-faced boy with a baby personality to match.
Married at First Sight's tenth season also stars Michael Watson and Meka Jones, Jessica Studer and Austin Hurd, and Taylor Dunklin and Brandon Reid.
The season's other couple, Zach Justice and Mindy Shiben, ended their marriage nearly two weeks before "Decision Day."
