Relationship expert reveals why Dave was SO obsessed with his sister on Love Is Blind

Dave and his sister are all anyone on Love Is Blind, including mainly Dave himself, has been able to talk about since we were back in the pods.

It seems this man is quite literally unable to have even the simplest of conversations without bringing up his sister, to the point where it’s almost a little bit concerning.

While Dave has previously spoken out about his relationship with his sister, a relationship expert has now exclusively told Reality Shrine exactly why he’s so obsessed with her on Love Is Blind.

Mecca Bingo’s relationship expert and co-founder of dating tool So Syncd, Louella Alderson, has revealed to Reality Shrine why Dave was so obsessed with his sister on Love Is Blind.

She revealed: “With the passing of Dave’s mum eight years before filming, he shared that his sister had taken on a more maternal role in his life. Since it’s just the two of them, it’s natural for Dave to turn to her for advice and support—especially when it comes to something as significant as marriage.

“However, their close bond may have crossed into sibling enmeshment, where emotional boundaries become blurred, leading to an intense reliance on each other that can hinder personal growth and independence.

“When a sibling’s opinion carries excessive weight, it can make it difficult to form healthy, autonomous relationships. This seemed to be the case for Dave, who appeared more focused on his sister’s approval than on building a strong connection with Lauren.”

She continued, explaining that Dave may have used his sister in order to pull away from Lauren on Love Is Blind. She said: “In the pods, Dave repeatedly emphasised how much his sister’s opinion mattered to him, making it clear that she had a significant influence on his decisions.

“But after meeting Lauren, he may not have felt the physical attraction he had hoped for. Rather than acknowledging that the spark wasn’t there, he may have used his sister’s scepticism as a convenient excuse to pull away.

“Instead of admitting to something that could’ve come across as shallow, he may have exaggerated his sister’s disapproval of the experiment to justify eventually ending things with Lauren.”

She added: “It’s possible that the editing played up his fixation on his sister for dramatic effect. But if their relationship truly is enmeshed, it could impact his ability to form deep, independent romantic connections in the future.”
