MAFS Australia: Sandy exposes the true extent of Dan’s betrayal

Sandy Jawanda has revealed why she was so blindsided when her MAFS husband Dan Hunjas confessed he wasn’t ‘sexually attracted’ to her.

The dental hygienist, 36, was visibly shocked when the business owner, 42, revealed at Sunday’s commitment ceremony the spark just wasn’t there.

She told 9Entertainment on Tuesday this remark was particularly cutting because she and Dan had just started to be intimate with each other behind closed doors.

However, the couple’s growing intimacy had not been highlighted on the show, meaning viewers would not have understood the full extent of Dan’s hurtful words.

Speaking of her disbelief when her husband said he was struggling with attraction, Sandy said his words did not match his behaviour.

‘If someone is kissing you and giving you cuddles, you’re going to think that person is attracted to you. I didn’t think that was an issue,’ she said.

Sandy said the pair’s seemingly frosty relationship on TV was misleading because they actually warmed up a lot when the cameras weren’t rolling.

‘I know it may have looked like there was a lack of [sexual] chemistry there, but a lot of that is my inability to show public displays of affection,’ she explained.

‘I was very open with Dan about this from the start, explaining that I’m just like anyone else, I love affection, but I also have cultural sensitivities [about PDA]. I obviously didn’t want him to feel rejected.’

After Dan spoke of his lack of sexual attraction towards Sandy at the commitment ceremony, the pair surprisingly had sex the following morning.

While this should have been a breakthrough for the couple, Sandy was dealt a brutal blow on Tuesday’s show when she discovered what her husband really thinks of her.

Intruder bride Evelyn Ellis pulled Sandy, 36, aside to let her know her husband Rupert Bugden had called her by accident and she overhead him and other grooms – including Dan – trash-talking their wives.

‘I’m about to tell you something that I think you would want to know,’ Evelyn began.

‘Over the weekend some of the husbands went out for a drink. Rupert butt-dialed me, he pocket-dialed me.

‘I could hear the conversations between some of the boys, very clearly, and they weren’t saying very nice things about their wives – particularly Dan.’

Sandy was left in tears on Tuesday’s episode of MAFS after discovering what her husband Dan really thinks of her

A surprised Sandy replied, ‘Dan said he was with his daughter,’ to which Evelyn responded firmly: ‘Dan was out with the boys.’

‘What was he saying?’ Sandy asked.

‘He was insinuating that he is too good for this experiment and too good for you,’ Evelyn said.

Evelyn said, ‘Over the weekend some of the husbands went out for a drink. Rupert butt-dialed me, he pocket-dialed me. I could hear the conversations between some of the boys, very clearly, and they weren’t saying very nice things about their wives – particularly Dan’ 

A shocked Sandy revealed she had no idea Dan had been out drinking with the boys, as he had told her he was seeing his daughter

Evelyn explained she had later confronted her husband Rupert about it, who told her Dan was ‘showing all the boys photos of his ex girlfriends, boasting about how hot [they] were’.

A heartbroken Sandy admitted she was hurt Dan would do this to her just days after they had been intimate. 

She said that while she was upset by the news, she would rather be aware of what was being said behind her back than stay ignorant.

‘You deserve better than this,’ Evelyn assured her.

‘Thank you for telling me this, because I thought I was going crazy,’ Sandy replied, before saying she was sick of the way Dan had been treating her lately.

Earlier in the episode, Evelyn said she was ‘disgusted’ by some of the things Dan and fellow groom Hugo Armstrong said about their wives.

‘I kind of had a feeling that Dan was a bit of an a**ehole, but that really kind of really cemented that my first assumptions,’ she said.
