36 Marissa George was determined to make things work with Ramses Prashad, despite him completely breaking her heart on Love is Blind!
While chatting with Glamour on Wednesday, the Netflix star revealed six months after the couple’s on-screen split, she tried to get Ramses back — but he wasn’t having it. She dished:
“We saw each other a few times after [we broke up]. I took the breakup really hard, as you can imagine from the scene of me crying and stuff. It took me probably six months to get back on track and to really start to move on.”
Oof. She was SO devastated during their breakup, so we’re not shocked to hear it took her a while to regroup.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t sound like Ramses helped. It kinda sounds like he led her on a little bit! She recalled:
“I saw him a few times when I was in D.C., and there was one time where we talked one day for like, 8 and a half [or] 9 hours on the phone, and I thought we were gonna get back together after that.”
After this crazy long convo, Marissa asked if he’d want to rekindle things — but it was a hard no:
“[In] February or March, I did ask him if he wanted to get back together. I’m not really ashamed to say that because I’m someone who’s like, ‘If you feel it, you feel it, like, what’s the worst that can happen?’ And he’s like, ‘Nah.’ So after that, we just stopped communication.”
Ugh. If he didn’t see this going anywhere, he just never should have been talking to her so much. Maybe one quick call to tie up loose ends, but what in the world could they have been talking about for 9 hours if his mind was already made up?? It got her hopes up for nothing. Oof.
As for why they broke up, the law school student still isn’t totally sure what happened. During the season, they butted heads over Ramses strong dislike for the military — despite her being a veteran — and he even criticized her lack of intimacy when she was sick or on her period. Then, of course, he was resistant to the idea of having sex with a condom despite Marissa making it clear she did not want to go on birth control. Just a lot of ways they were incompatible, though they tried to make it work.
Marissa was ultimately blindsided when Ramses suddenly called off the wedding. Speaking to the mag, she said her fiancé’s demeanor changed after he met up with a close family friend two days before the split. That friend was still tight with Ramses’ ex-wife. The meeting helped Ramses realize how the divorce had hurt his ex, and Marissa came home to him being “very upset and emotional” about what he’d learned. Marissa reflected:
“I remember looking at him and thinking, This is somehow going to f**k us up. That was probably the only time I thought this might not work out.”
The next day, they were both home and weren’t “meshing.” She then overheard him on the phone with a friend who was asking about what she was like, and his response made her wonder, “Do you even like me?” She said, “He made me sound crazy.” It was the next day that he admitted to having doubts and they broke up. Damn.
Marissa still doesn’t feel like she has enough clarity about why he ended up breaking up with her, she reflected:
“Throughout the whole breakup — which made it worse — he couldn’t really give me a reason. To this day, I don’t know if he really has a good reason. I think he has tried to pinpoint certain things, like that I listened to podcasts in the morning and I sing in the shower type of stuff. But at the time of the breakup, he was just like, ‘I don’t feel at peace anymore, and I feel like our energies off and I’m gonna hurt you in five years, but I love you and want to be with you, but this is moving too fast.’”
He didn’t like that she listened to podcasts or sang? THAT’s the reason for the split? SMH. This man never wanted to marry her if that was his excuse! Oh, and by the way, the problem wasn’t that the experiment was moving too fast, because she gave him an out on the wedding and he still rejected her! She continued:
“I’m like, ‘OK, well, let’s just not move fast. You stay in DC, I stay in Baltimore. But stay together.’ And he was like, ‘No.’ And that’s a very hard thing to grasp: How do you supposedly love this person so so much, and they don’t even want to be with you? Then I’m thinking, it’s me, because he’s saying it’s my energy.”
Poor girl! She concluded:
“I offered to not get married. We can stay engaged, or we can do everything on our own timeline. We don’t have to move in immediately. That was never the plan anyway. We don’t have to be engaged to date. It was a hard no and that is what really tore me up.”
When Ramses later shot down her reconciliation attempts so quickly, it made her “really question everything [she] ever believed in.” Aw! Just devastating for her!
We’re sure she’s going to have some tough questions to ask during the reunion to get to the bottom of this! Reactions?! Can you believe this guy? Sound OFF (below)!
