But will they really be able to walk away after the year is over?

Haley Slater has had enough of love. So what if she is married to Deacon Roth. They have always been rivals and marriage won't change that. When the year is over she will simply move on with her life and be happily single...right?

"It sounds to me like in an effort to avoid conflict the two of you are creating bigger problems for yourself by staying quiet. Right now the issues of the food and the thermostat and your shoes, yes Haley your shoes, you know you have a problem with putting shoes away. Those issues are only minor things. You can easily resolve them, but if you let them go on eventually these minor issues will meet up with bigger issues and then you'll have a real problem on your hands. That is not something that creates a good marriage, so handle this now. Find it in yourself to admit that you are wrong and maybe just maybe your husband will be willing to do the same," Haley would not lie. When she'd first heard Erin's advice, she had immediately dismissed it. Not even wanting to entertain the thought of apologizing to Roth.
