'The Real World: St. Thomas' Recap: Episode 8 "Hurts So Good"

On last nights episode of ‘The Real World’, the focus of the couples shifted as Marie and Robb’s relationship is brought forward.

Robb and Marie start the deepest conversation they have had yet. Marie knows how she feels about Robb, but she is scared of her feelings; Robb wants to express how he feels about Marie but isn’t sure if he should. After receiving mixed signals from Marie, a dark past comes out. There is something about Marie that triggers Robb to do crazy things. The first being self-harm such as burning himself on his arm with a cigarette or punching himself in the face. But things start to change when the issues are no longer about Marie and instead are issue within Robb. He explains to Brandon that he is not good enough and he is not worthy of anyone. These emotions are being brought out because he loves Marie more than himself. Brandon gives Robb some advice since he has dealt with the same self-harm issues, but Robb decides to brush off his problems. The next day all the roommates attend to some fun activities at the Senor Frogs plaza while Robb begins to learn maybe he is not what Marie is looking for.

Trey and Laura have hit new realizations too. On last weeks episode, Trey gets a phone call from the girl he was seeing back home, Chelsea, and finds out she is two weeks pregnant.
