Ten days after Married at First Sight's Derek Schwartz and Heather Seidel tied the knot, the couple's marriage came to an abrupt end.
While Schwartz, 35, was hopeful that the Fyi network's social experiment program would work for him and Seidel, he told People that he was "disappointed and frustrated that the process didn't really get to be finished all the way."
After the couple returned from their honeymoon, they spent three days apart before sitting down to make a decision on their future together. Though Schwartz had an inkling that his 32-year-old bride wanted to call it quits, he remained hopeful.
