'Love Is Blind's Tim Says "There Is Much Left Out From Our Story" After Breakup With Alex

When Tim and Alex were in the pods on Love Is Blind , they seemed like one of the most intense couples in the best way. They bonded over family, and Tim even gifted Alex with a bracelet that belonged to his late sister. But once they left the pods and started the next leg of their journey, things continuously went downhill for them. And in Episode 10, they split up. But why did Tim and Alex break up on Love Is Blind ?

It seems like it was a combination of a lot of small things that culminated in Tim ending the engagement. But in some ways, it goes a little deeper than that. Love Is Blind fans called the red flags right away, however, and not many were surprised following the release of Episodes 10 and 11 to learn about the end of Tim and Alex's relationship. Now, Tim has opened up about the breakup on social media.

Why did Tim and Alex break up on 'Love Is Blind'?

When Tim breaks things off with Alex in Episode 10, it all boils down to communication and a lack of appreciation. He has a lot of opinions about the way Alex approaches their conversations or even speaks to him, and instead of telling her that, he gets upset. Alex expresses this to Tim, but at this point, it looks like he has made up his mind about their relationship.

"I am not the one for you," Tim tells Alex, after he says that if he has to communicate to her that preparing a meal and cleaning it up for a family get together was hard work and she doesn't understand that, things won't work out. "There's a lot I could respond to, but there is no scenario that I see myself standing there and saying yes to making you my wife forever."

Now that Tim has shared details on Instagram, however, there is more clarity about the why of it all.

"There is much left out from our story, some of which out of an attempt to protect something I once held dear," Tim wrote on his Instagram Stories. "I am far from a perfect person. I make mistakes and fall short of glory as often as others. I don't expect everyone to love or agree with what I have to say, but I have to display an amount of respect for myself and my family if it is not given by others. Meet people where they are."

He added, "I have never argued with someone with the amount of consistency I did as with this experience. Many of which I did my best to keep off camera. Through hours of tough conversations that weren't seen, I made the decision to remove myself from what felt like a toxic situation where I was being manipulated and given no serious effort from my partner."

'Love Is Blind' fans aren't surprised about Alex and Tim's split.

Prior to Tim and Alex's breakup on Love Is Blind , fans on social media felt that Tim had given Alex "the ick," namely when they met and he kept saying "the dog" in reference to himself. And from there, many believed, Alex was already mentally checked out. So when Tim ended things, it came as little shock to many.

Prior to their split, someone shared in a Reddit thread about the couple, "I feel like this isn't being talked about enough lol there's definitely something off about them." Another user commented, "I think he doesn't like her. She is insecure with herself and projects that on him. I hear hidden messages under some of the things he says, almost threatening. They would be smart to end this now."

While there wasn't one big blowout that led to Tim and Alex breaking up on Love Is Blind , it's probably for the best for them both in the long run.
