The couple got off to a fairytale start after meeting each other for the first time at the altar, and have been going from strength to strength ever since.

However, they hit a roadblock after Andrea, 51, felt “disrespected” by Richard, 62, over comments he made at their second commitment ceremony about their intimacy.

She admitted to putting up a wall and the couple got into a fight because Andrea spent more than two hours talking to her friends on the phone instead of being with him.

Richard admitted that he felt like she was no longer attracted to him and broke down in tears as Andrea’s friend Kate Maree and her daughter Roxy tried to counsel the couple.

The couple recently hit a roadblock after Andrea, 51, felt “disrespected” by Richard, 62, over comments he made at their second commitment ceremony about their intimacy.

He explained how he felt Andrea wasn’t “trying” to move on with him and said he felt “disappointed” by her behavior as he struggled to break down her “wall.”

Speaking to his loved ones about the difficulties, Richard revealed: “I feel a little sad, it’s been a hard day for both of us and a hard day for me. I just want to say that I hope having you here is a positive intervention for us.”

He continued: ‘We started with a bang, it was really loud, and then it faded away. Andie admitted that there is a bit of a wall when it comes to romance and intimacy with me, and that I like her more than she likes me. I do not understand what is happening.’

When asked why things had gotten worse after such a strong start, Andrea was honest about how she had felt when Richard spoke “inappropriately” at the commitment ceremony.

She said: ‘Roxy, it’s your dad and it’s awkward, but at the second commitment ceremony, your dad said some very inappropriate things. He was very open in sharing our intimacy and the way he said some things, I was just, I felt disrespected.

After Andrea admitted that she had put up a 'wall', Richar, her daughter Roxy, attempted to counsel the couple.

Speaking to loved ones about the difficulties, Richard revealed: “I feel a bit sad, it’s been a tough day for both of us and a tough day for me.”

‘So I put a little block up, put up a wall a little bit, but I don’t want that to go up and I was working on trying to knock it down.

‘I’m here, I’m trying and Richie was cold to me and told me I wasn’t trying, and it was driving me crazy like I am!’

From their fight the night before, Richard broke down in tears as he admitted he felt Andrea didn’t like him anymore in a heartbreaking moment.

Through tears, she said: “She basically spent the night alone, doing her thing and talking to her friends, so I don’t know what’s different, but it seems to be the same.” From my point of view, Andie doesn’t like me at all anymore.

However, with the help of loved ones, the couple took steps forward when Andrea admitted that she “adores” Richard and wanted to try to “fix” things.
