I’ve been following Ashley and Manuel’s journey on the show, and I can’t shake off the concerns I have. Manuel’s secretive nature and reluctance to share much about his personal life, coupled with his expectation for Ashley to financially support his family, have me seriously worried. Manuel’s habit of frequently running off on Ashley is sending up some major red flags. It’s got me thinking that Ashley might be better off cutting her losses sooner rather than later.
The octopus comment got me 😂 I dislike Manuel but have come to dislike Ashley much more because she 1) puts up with it while complaining constantly and 2) cannot handle a single emotion without asking someone else for help. The panic attack in the car on the way to the airport, she calls her sister, then she calls her friend to complain like a brat in a language her partner doesn’t understand (this was so rude and gross to me.) For an allegedly spiritual person she seems to fly off the handle constantly. Manuel has kids and seems to be a hard working person that loves his family back home. It is clear he is not there for Ashley but she ALLOWS it which is why I don’t feel sorry for her at all. He is taking an opportunity and I honestly don’t blame him for doing so!
