The couple had a huge fight on their honeymoon after a night out. Viewers never found out exactly what went on, but Stacey reveals Michael ordered “multiple bottles of wine” and she could see him getting drunk.

“I think he started calling me ‘high-maintenance’,” she remembers. “Then he was chatting all these girls up and I was like, ‘Okay, ‘I’m going back to the room.’ He goes, ‘I’m staying here with the girls.'”

The Adelaide lawyer says in the real world, that would have been a deal-breaker for her.

“I’ve dealt with emotional abuse when people drink, and I can’t deal with people who can’t handle their alcohol. That was almost traumatic for me.”
