In a heart-wrenching confession that exposes the silent ache behind even the happiest-looking marriages, Love Is Blind alum Alexa Lemieux is breaking her silence on the emotional isolation she’s been feeling in her relationship with husband Brennon Lemieux — and how love, without understanding, can still leave you feeling completely alone.
“He loves me, I know he does,” Alexa shared. “But sometimes, it feels like I’m shouting from inside a glass box — and he doesn’t even hear me.”
“Everyone Thinks We’re Perfect — But They Don’t See the Silence”
To fans, Alexa and Brennon have always looked like one of the franchise’s rare success stories. But behind the curated smiles and couple selfies, Alexa says something much deeper is missing — something she’s no longer willing to pretend doesn’t matter.
“He shows up. He does the things a good husband should do. But I still go to bed feeling like something’s wrong with me for wanting more.”
She says the loneliness doesn’t come from lack of love — it comes from not being truly seen.
“There’s a version of me he loves — the confident, funny, unbothered girl. But he doesn’t always stay long enough to meet the anxious one, or the insecure one, or the one who just wants to cry for no reason. That’s the version of me who feels invisible.”
“I’m Always the Strong One — But I’m Tired”
Alexa admits she’s always been the bold one, the loud one, the one who laughs things off — but now, even that armor feels heavy.
“I don’t want to be the one holding everything together all the time. I want to fall apart and not feel like I’m disappointing someone.”
She says it’s the emotional gaps that are wearing her down more than any argument ever could.
“He asks if I’m okay, but sometimes I lie. Because how do you explain that you’re slowly disappearing in a room where someone says they love you?”
“I Don’t Want Perfect. I Want Real.”
What Alexa craves most isn’t some fairy-tale fix — it’s presence. Curiosity. A willingness to sit in the mess with her.
“We don’t need to fix each other. But we do need to see each other — fully. The good, the hard, the confusing. I’m not asking for a perfect husband. I’m asking for one who looks a little deeper when I go quiet.”
She pauses, then adds:
“I’d rather be argued with than ignored. I’d rather be held in my chaos than praised in my silence.”
“Don’t Love the Mask — Love Me”
Alexa says she’s still fighting for her marriage — but she’s also fighting for herself. Because no matter how strong the foundation may seem, a relationship without emotional intimacy becomes a beautifully furnished home with no light inside.
“I want him to love the woman behind the makeup. The one who doubts herself. The one who’s scared of being too much and not enough at the same time. That’s me too. And I want to know I’m still enough when I’m not performing.”
