The cow poop and piss. I understand it’s cultural. But yo, it’s like bombshells keep being dropped on Kimberly. And TJ is like I withheld the truth because I love you.

The mother used a rag that was on the cow poop to wipe a surface clean.

There is a war brewing between Kimberly and the mother.

But with this shit, both figuratively and literally, Kimberly isn’t even having anytime to protect her boundaries. Man.

Kimberly ain’t going to fucking last.

    Seriously i am so sorry for disrespectful but i actually threw up in my mouth. i GET it, she is entering their culture. i have always had a rainbow if friends from all over. And even they that are married to Americans have some of their culture woven in to their lives in America. i hope they will allow her to keep SOME traditions that she is used to, to help make her feel more at home.

    He’s trying to say he was waiting for his mom to tell her everything. I’m sure he probably told her that he couldn’t explain all her duties before marriage because she wasn’t even allowed to step foot in the kitchen :)

    And he knew this was coming so he suddenly made the announcement that he was going to be doing something downstairs and that Yash would be in the kitchen instead of him??? Why??? He abandoned ship knowing that Kimberly would be upset. I was surprised that he did come back up for the poop rag debacle.

    It’s ok, I’m sure this sub will somehow make it Kimberly’s fault. Cause she’s just so unreasonable, right??

    I would have already been back on the plane…it just isn’t working culturally for them. He isn’t leaving his family so it’s a no win for all.

    But she should know they do this. She’s lived there for a year before she’s been dating an Indian. Cow dung is normal there. This is no bomb.

      She lived in her own place for a year, not with a super conservative family for a year.

    He’s such a coward for not telling her these things beforehand. The cow poop thing in my home would honestly send me into a full blown panic attack. I don’t blame her for freaking out! 🤯

      TJ totally knew that Kimberly would not only freak out but most likely never have come back to India in the first place to marry him.

      I also think it’s disingenuous to say it’s Kimberly’s fault for not googling what she was getting into by marrying into TJ’s family. I think it’s pretty reasonable by most people’s standards to assume that if you are marrying someone from a foreign culture that they love you enough to fill you in on what will be expected when you are married. After all, Google can give you a "general " idea of what married life is like in India, but T.J. could of (should of) given her the whole story.

      I watch with a Hindi-speaker, and they say that the subtitles are usually really off as well. Though I agree he softens it a lot and is selective in what he translates.

    That cow poop thing was disgusting. And then had a bottle of cow piss. I’m sorry I don’t care what kind of culture you have. I draw the line at feces and piss. I didn’t blame her at all for being upset.

        But TJ always lied to her. I hate Kim, but during the video calls she asked him all sorts of questions and he told her not to worry about it. He lies in every episode. Kim sucks but she doesn’t seem to be a pathological liar with a huge smile on his face.

        No haha Hindus don’t generally eat cows and 44% are vegetarian because they believe in non-violence and compassion towards all beings. That doesn’t make the cow shit and piss any grosser though lol

          Yeah Indian here.Meat eater. They are vegetarian because of caste. The so called lower castes who ate meat were considered ‘dirty’ and higher vegetarian caste ‘pure’.

      And his mother’s reaction when TJ asked her about it blaming Kimberly for being bratty was wild.

      Like woman you nasty.

      As an Indian person who grew up in India, I want you all to know that this cow poop and piss thing is not a thing that most people believe in. I’m going to go on the offense and just say that this is a sign of illiterate people behavior. Again I know it’s offensive to them but there’s no other way to explain this ass-backwards behavior.

    I still don’t like Kimberly but I can understand how she wouldn’t want to live in those conditions. Plus her husband’s a liar.

      Exactly, just because she has a legit reason to be upset now doesn’t wipe out her previous horrible behavior. She should never have married him. Her best bet now is to high tail it back to America.
