Married at First Sight star Mindy Shiben believes Zach Justice didn't take their marriage seriously on the Lifetime reality series' tenth season.

During Wednesday night's episode of Married at First Sight: Unfiltered, Mindy opened up about how she and Zach seemed to view their relationship and the Married at First Sight process differently based on Zach's nonchalant behavior.

"Do you feel like [Zach] is taking this marriage seriously?" Unfiltered host Jamie Otis asked Mindy.
"Absolutely not," Mindy admitted. "There is just no indication that he is taking it seriously."

Mindy made that statement after watching back a Season 10 clip of her final night with Zach in Panama.
Over a nice dinner out, Mindy noticed Zach wasn't wearing his wedding ring, so she confronted him about her concerns. Zach claimed he tends to forget to put his jewelry on when he goes out, but Mindy saw it as a sign Zach didn't really care about their marriage.
Jamie pointed out on Unfiltered that Zach was wearing both a watch and a bracelet at the time, so she clearly wasn't buying his explanation.
Mindy also watched back how her conversation with Zach at dinner shifted to his lack of attraction towards her, which resulted in Zach asking Mindy to help him figure things out.
Mindy didn't know what she could possibly do to address the situation, so she sarcastically asked Zach if he wanted her to get breast implants or something -- a suggestion he totally shot down.

"Oh my God, I'm sorry. I'm tearing up because I'm laughing," Mindy responded after watching the clip on Unfiltered.
"I thought our last night [in Panama], we were just going to go out and have a good time, and of course, the attraction thing comes up again. Come on, just let it go and get to know me!" Mindy begged.

Mindy previously revealed Zach had mentioned he wasn't attracted to her several times after their wedding day.
"It's really frustrating at this point," Mindy added.

Mindy's Married at First Sight co-stars Meka Jones and Austin Hurd joined her on the Unfiltered broadcast and offered their opinions on Mindy and Zach's struggling relationship.
"Honestly, I got pissed when [Zach] said, 'I forget to wear jewelry.' That is the Rule No. 1 of being married," Meka said.
"You don't have to take it off -- like, ever," Jamie pointed out.
"Exactly," Meka responded. "That's something that's so simple. And, like, I shouldn't have to remind you to put your ring on."
Austin then joked he doesn't have any jewelry to keep track of other than his wedding ring, which he clearly wears and had on at the time Unfiltered filmed.

"So, I'm good," Austin noted with a laugh.
When asked if he takes his ring off often, Austin replied, "I don't take it off, no."
"I don't know the rules of wearing a ring," Austin said, "so I just keep it on at all times."
"That's probably a good idea," Jamie joked.

Married at First Sight's tenth season has since featured Mindy and Zach trying to move on from their awkward exchanges about Zach's lack of attraction to his wife.
The pair seemed to bond during a Panama excursion and have a good time together as friends, but Mindy left her honeymoon feeling disappointed and rejected.
Mindy viewed Zach as being confusing and cold, and she vented about how her husband barely kissed her or even held her hand during what was supposed to be a romantic, exotic honeymoon.
The couple's relationship issues lingered once they returned to the Washington, D.C. area.
As shown in the latest episode of the series, Zach refused to move into a "neutral" apartment with Mindy the show had provided for them as a couple, so Mindy moved into the place by herself.
"I'm following through on my commitments. I'm hoping Zach will eventually decide to move in and really make this work, but only time will tell," Mindy told the cameras.

After Mindy moved into the new apartment, she said Zach hadn't been in much contact with her and she felt like she was the only person in the marriage. One of Mindy's friends told her that Zach was "full of sh-t" and she deserved better.

Zach claimed he was doing what felt right and comfortable to him and his goal was to allow his relationship to proceed naturally rather than forcing it by moving in with his stranger wife.
"I don't want to try to just put on a show," Zach said, explaining that he didn't want to go against what he believes in for the sake of the Married at First Sight process.
Zach said he and Mindy were a great match on paper but he just felt like there was something missing and he genuinely didn't know what to do. Zach was hoping that by being apart from Mindy, he'd miss her and want to reach out and spend time with her.
But Pastor Cal told the cameras, "Zach needs to man up and at least move in, get to know [Mindy], find out who she is, and see whether or not this woman can enhance your life."
Married at First Sight's tenth season also stars Meka's husband Michael Watson and Austin's wife Jessica Studer as well as Brandon Reid and Taylor Dunklin and Katie Conrad and Derek Sherman.
Married at First Sight currently airs on Wednesday nights at 8PM ET/PT on Lifetime.
