After the dramatic finale of Love Is Blind season 8, where Sara Carton turned down Ben Mezzenga’s proposal at the altar due to differing values, a mysterious turn of events has left fans puzzled. Sara, in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, revealed that after the show wrapped up filming, Ben abruptly cut off contact with her.
Initially, Sara had hoped to explore a relationship with Ben outside of the show’s setting. However, she was taken aback when Ben disappeared after a brief cohabitation period. Sara expressed her confusion and disappointment at Ben’s sudden change in behavior, emphasizing that his actions revealed his true character.
Despite reaching out to Ben for an explanation, Sara was met with superficial apologies and no meaningful resolution. Their relationship now stands at a polite distance, with Sara acknowledging that Ben is not the right match for her. Reflecting on her decision to reject Ben at the altar, Sara admitted that a TikTok video questioning Ben’s past behavior towards women played a significant role in her choice.
While Sara had genuine feelings for Ben, she ultimately couldn’t ignore the doubts and warning signs surrounding their relationship. Despite the emotional turmoil, Sara remains focused on moving forward and wishes Ben well in his future endeavors.
I wanted to start a new chapter in my life, but something didn’t feel quite right. Deep down, on my wedding day, I knew it wasn’t just about the TikTok video. I realized we weren’t a good match because we had different views on important issues like Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ+ rights, and the COVID vaccine. Despite his reassuring words and constant declarations of love, I felt like I never truly knew the real Ben during filming.
Other things began to catch my attention. Ben always had the perfect response, and his words made me feel secure. But when I took a step back, I questioned the weight behind his words. I started to wonder if this was the real Ben or if I was just confused.
Furthermore, others came forward to warn me about Ben. They shared experiences from his college days, which didn’t paint a negative picture of him but rather highlighted aspects of his personality. These revelations made me reflect and question what was really going on.
Although my Love Is Blind journey had its ups and downs, I have no regrets. I am proud of the person I have become and grateful for the support of my family and friends. This experience has been unique and vulnerable, leading me to discover more about myself, the people around me, and the kind of company I want to keep. I am embracing newfound confidence in myself and my intuition.
