To me even since Happily Ever After she’s been really really let down by Asuelu and his family are willing to have them live in poverty because of their own expectations.
Sure there are cultural expectations and things, but surely if you know your grandchildren would suffer because of the amount of money you’re asking for you’d either dial it back or not ask at all.
Sure Kalani teams up with her sister but I think it’s because she feels utterly unheard in her relationship. Can you blame her? Asuelu and her don’t have the same love language at all and they have a huge barrier in terms of language and culture.
Just my thoughts.
She has stated this isn’t the case and it was exaggerated for tv. I don’t remember the exact amount for time, but I feel like she said they spent a few weeks together before hooking up, in her recent ig story clarification post.
