The Love Is Blind season 7 reunion, released on October 30, gave cast members a platform to address unresolved issues, including the tension that surfaced between Ramses and Marissa over their differing perspectives on contraception. During their conversation, Ramses acknowledged that his approach to the topic had come across poorly, admitting,
“We arrived at a solution that worked best for both of us; it wasn’t a situation where I was being whiny and bratty.”
Ramses explained that he had not intended to pressure Marissa, though he realized his expression of concerns may have been misinterpreted. He noted that his frustrations about the matter reflected personal reservations rather than any set expectations.
When asked about her feelings, Marissa shared that the discussions around contraception left her feeling as though her needs were being sidelined in Love is Blind.

In the Love is Blind reunion discussion, Ramses shared that the issue of contraception had been more complex than it appeared, describing it as a “nuanced conversation.” He clarified that both he and Marissa had ultimately agreed on an approach that suited them, putting some misconceptions about the topic to rest.
Ramses emphasized that he did not mean to pressure Marissa and noted that the conversations around contraception had been mutual. He explained,
“There’s one particular conversation, we had about contraception. I wanted to clarify, at no point, that I ever tried to present Marissa with an ultimatum. She had very valid reasons as to why she didn’t wanna use hormonal contraception.”
He further added that his intentions were rooted in open dialogue rather than imposing his viewpoint. He continued saying that he is well aware of the effects the contraception has on a woman’s body, and he would never try to force it upon her.
Ramses expressed that his intentions were rooted in mutual understanding rather than pressure, and his clarification seemed to satisfy the hosts of Love is Blind, who wrapped up the topic afterward.

Marissa, visibly emotional while discussing the breakup, reflected on how rewatching their final conversation felt like experiencing the heartbreak all over again in the Love is Blind reunion. Her mother, affected by the experience, shared that she had spoken to Ramses after the engagement ended, addressing the emotional toll the decision had on Marissa.
She expressed her frustration and protective instincts, describing her initial reaction as wanting to confront him directly. Ramses, on his part, took responsibility for the breakup, acknowledging that he had delayed addressing his concerns and expressing that he should have been more transparent earlier in their relationship.
“I should have been more forthcoming about those concerns I had earlier on. I didn’t bring them up cause I wasn’t sure at that moment, if it was gonna become an issue or not,” he shared.
He reflected on the timing, recognizing the impact of his hesitations. Marissa voiced her frustrations, explaining that she often felt the relationship centered on Ramses’ needs, with her own being overlooked.
Ramses acknowledged her perspective and apologized to her for not making the decision sooner, accepting accountability for the course of their relationship and recognizing the pain Marissa experienced in its aftermath.
