The tumultuous engagement of Oscar Lind, 29, and Alicia Sjöberg, 31, came to a close during the highly anticipated eighth episode of Love is Blind Sweden Season 2, which premiered on March 27, 2025. The pair, who initially connected in the pods, navigated a rollercoaster of emotions as they became engaged and cohabitated, ultimately leading to their separation after Oscar’s pivotal revelations during the season.
Challenges and Changes: Oscar and Alicia’s Engagement
Throughout their time in the Love is Blind Sweden pods, both Alicia and Oscar explored connections with other contestants. Alicia was particularly drawn to Tim, where they fostered discussions surrounding shared aspirations, including marriage. On the other hand, Oscar found himself developing feelings for Milly. However, after intense reflection, Oscar made the decision to end things with Milly to focus solely on Alicia, culminating in an engagement during a pajama-themed pod date where he demonstrated his commitment.
Following their initial engagement, the couple enjoyed a face-to-face reunion that confirmed their physical attraction. They engaged in intimate exchanges, indicating a strong connection. Yet, the move into shared living arrangements soon revealed unforeseen complications.
The Deterioration of Their Relationship
As they settled into their new life together, Oscar’s behavior began to shift dramatically from the confident persona he exhibited in the pods. He grew increasingly reserved, which led to Alicia feeling a stark contrast between their initial closeness and Oscar’s newfound emotional distance. Despite Alicia’s attempts to rekindle their connection through open discussions regarding their future, the dynamic within their apartment became strained.
The atmosphere was marked by silence during morning routines and a significant decline in evening conversations. As Oscar increasingly withdrew, he began spending more time alone, while Alicia made efforts to keep the spark alive through planned dates and activities. However, their struggles intensified when episode 7 aired on March 20, 2025, featuring a reunion of eliminated contestants that further complicated their connection.
A key moment occurred when Tim extended a proposal to Alicia, which she had previously declined while in the pods. Tim’s support during their encounter prompted Alicia to confide in Oscar, expressing how she felt more emotionally connected to Tim in a matter of seconds than she had throughout her day with Oscar. This led to mounting doubts in Alicia’s mind regarding the viability of their relationship.
The Heartbreaking Conclusion
During their final meeting, Oscar and Alicia gathered outdoors by the water, where they shared blankets and coffee, engaging in a poignant discussion about their feelings. Oscar candidly revealed his struggle with the absence of strong emotions so early in their engagement, ultimately causing him to question the relationship’s future. He emphasized his conclusion — that he needed to step back due to a lack of love.
Despite her lingering affection for Oscar, Alicia recognized the necessity of ending things, declining his outstretched arms for a final hug, expressing a desire to maintain personal boundaries. Episode 8 marked their official separation, with Oscar noting fundamental disparities in what they each needed for emotional stability.
In the aftermath, Alicia resolved to keep her negative thoughts to herself, cherishing the positive memories they created together. Both have since resumed their lives individually, with Oscar continuing his career in technical sales in Göteborg and Alicia pursuing her role as a recruiter in Stockholm.
For fans looking to catch up on their journey, new episodes of Love is Blind Sweden Season 2 are available for streaming on Netflix.
