Of all the couples I’ve watched on the show, he just does not bring anything to the table. There is nothing redeeming about him. He’s not overly attractive, he’s not kind, he’s not rich, his personality sucks, he doesn’t try with her friends to make a good impression.

I don’t get what she sees in him, he just mocks her and is always looking smug. I can’t stand his face. Also this last episode, why was Ashely just translating while he walked away from her group of friends lmao? She was like narrating his shit talking (which is good I guess) instead of calling him out (not good)

    I think people who have vacation relationships overly romanticize how great they think it is because what isn’t great on vacation? No stress, no worries, just partying and lots of sex. Then you come home and have bills and other shit going on and it’s not fun. And now your knee deep in your own bullshit and feel you have to try to make it work because you came this far. I think a lot of these couples fall into the vacation relationship pit and real life is a whole other story.

      He may not be “married” but I definitely believe he has a partner waiting for him back home.

    shes weird and extra, but i genuinely hate manuel. all around shit bag looking for a green card.

    can’t get a job right now, left his kids with his parents, didn’t tell his mom where he was really going, didn’t plan for his move, expects ashley to shell out $300 a month to his family on top of all the other finances. he can fuck right off.

    i don’t get it but i can only imagine shes sticking it out because shes already invested so much into him.

      What really sucks if you think about it is that she shelled out all that visa and travel money. You know this girl didn’t give a single thought to what was gonna happen with the dudes kids. I mean she could have read her cards and figured out he wasn’t going to save up for 3 months of support (or however long you can’t work) and saved herself a lot of trouble. Or, you know, asked. Not that I think he would have disclosed.

    Sunk cost fallacy and that they bang their problems away. She also mentioned they were always with other people and being alone together has opened her eyes

      Ashley should not be allowed to “drive” (and I use that term lightly) a vehicle. She was drinking at least 2 beverages; she was on the phone; she was reaching in the back seat for a tissue; she was ugly crying. She was doing everything BUT driving!

    I think she likes the excitement and the passionate make ups. She’s said before she’s frustrated until they make up by having sex. That cold then hot dynamic could be what she’s familiar with
