Jason Engler lashed out at 'wife' Alana Lister during a Zoom conference call with their families on Tuesday's episode of Married At First Sight.

Talking to Jason's mum, Julie, and sister, Nicky, as well as her own sisters, Cheyvonne and Danielle, Alana, 30, complained about Jason's tendency to shutdown.

She admitted she was having a hard time moving forward from their arguments, because Jason, 35, would never want to talk things over. 

But Jason took offence to her comments, and said they'd already discussed his tendency to shutdown with the show's love experts.

'I haven't done that for, like, three weeks now, so I don't know why you keep saying that's happening, because it hasn't happened,' he fumed.

The two then got into an argument over an earlier disagreement, with one of Alana's sisters struggling to regain control of the spiralling situation. 

'Everything was Jason does this, Jason does that. What she's saying is not true,' he later complained.

He added: 'I just don't see a point where Alana and I will get past these arguments that go around in a circle. I'm over... I cannot deal with this anymore.'

They then stormed out of the movie cinema where they were talking with their families on the big screen, before returning to their apartment.

Jason confessed their latest fight had taken a toll, and said he's 'never been in a situation where I'm arguing this much'.

'Obviously that's not the impression that I wanted to give to our families, but Alana had all this pent up anger that she wants to bring up. It's just snowballed,' he said.

Talking to Jason, Alana added: 'It was always going to end this way. You cannot have a conversation without turning it into an argument.'

As tensions grew between them, Jason then asked Alana why she was still in the experiment.

'I'm not here for long, Jason,' she coolly responded.

'You make sure you keep by that. You make sure you write down "leave" like you're supposedly going to next time,' he angrily told her.
