I can’t tell if the producers are just picking couples that have major secrets for the drama. But I can’t imagine being in a long-distance relationship in which all you can do is talk on the phone — and yet when you start the 90 days you are only just finding out major life details about your partner??
- Gino didn’t tell Jasmine about quitting
- Jasmine lied about the butt implants
- Nikki only admitted she was trans during a fight
- Sophie hadn’t told Rob about her ovary cyst surgery
- Ashley didn’t tell her fiancé she was a witch
- Her partner (sorry forgot his name but would never forget Rico MFing Suave) lied to his family about where he was
There might be more as I’m only a few episodes in. It’s just odd to me because I could never keep major life events like that to myself in a relationship. Is that just more normal than I realise??
I don’t think it’s normal, and I also don’t think it is normal to be so enmeshed with your family that they feel free to meddle in your romantic relationship/ marriage, as we see so often on this show (eg Coltee and Debbie, Kalani’s rabid sister, the family Chantel, Libby’s bitter siblings,etc) If any of my family or my now in-laws had tried even 1% of that nosey, judgmental, interfering bs when I had first moved to the States, my husband and I would have told them to F off, in no uncertain terms!
