Honestly - if my husband: -lied to my about my role in the marriage until immediately after the marriage -let his family ice me out -completely disregards my feelings -disregards the fact that I am depressed & tells me it’s a personal problem -gaslight the shit out of me every time I tried to talk about my feelings

I would probably scream too. I hear ya Kimberly! I’m starting to feel manic for her

    Where were y’all 20 episodes ago? TJ and his family’s pathology was apparent the first time we saw them - yet too many of you were focused on being nit picky regarding Kimberly’s personality. There was an elephant in the room the entire time and you’re just finally seeing it.

        Meanwhile TJ and his family don’t have to understand American culture…and don’t even try. Just understand OURS.

          Pretty sure if you are in someone else’s country, it’s on you to adapt. Kimberly is insufferable….how anyone can defend her is crazy. She knew what she was getting into.

            That’s a one-sided view if I ever heard one. It’s called we are all humans and if you want someone to understand your culture you should be also willing to do the same. Relationships are two way streets.

              I agree that he is also to blame in this whole mess. No one’s hands are clean here. But how did Kimberly still marry TJ after she realized the families expectations? She is either stupid or crazy.

          I’ve said it many times before and I’ll say it again! People just love to think that their own situation will be different because nOt AlL mEn FrOm iNdIa are the same!! lol these are what I like to call overly positive personalities. And because they refuse to see red flags in any situation they always get themselves in deep shit and then cry to reddit, “But why me!!! I thought it would be different for me!!!”

          That’s what happens when you agree to marry into someone else’s family and culture in another country. You don’t want that? Then find another partner.

      Two things can be possible at once: Kimberly is so entitled and bratty people dislike her, and tj is a crappy partner whose answer is to break up anytime Conflict arises

      It’s almost 2024, we don’t have to choose sides anymore and can acknowledge they both have their flaws

        Thank you….perfect response. Not sure why Kimberly gets a pass when they were both stupid to get married when there were obviously too many differences to overcome

        I was on her side too, yes; but she should have realized to that this was not a family worth marrying into. I would refuse to marry anyone if their family treated me like that. Love isn’t enough and they have to be willing to back you up from toxic family members like this, otherwise they are just as bad for staying back and letting it happen.

      Because people, no matter whether they are a man or a woman, like to nitpick on ANY part of a female’s personality that they don’t agree with. The men are misogynists and the other women want to “be chosen” by these misogynistic men so they will agree with them left and right without knowing the full context of the situation. They think, “Woman bad! She’s crazy!” or anything along those lines. If it was a different reality show with a different couple, people will ALWAYS make fun of the woman first.

        Agreed. Was thinking along similar lines… a lot of women are very quick to attack or criticize other women.

          Right….because women need to support other women even if they are crazy, immature, make terrible decisions and generally act like a loon? Just because it’s another woman? They can both be idiots…she isn’t blameless

          And it’s absolutely insane. What’s worse is that a lot of them don’t even REALIZE they are doing it - because it’s so normal just to attack women for being themselves and not doing what misogynistic men want. This is how awfully women are still treated in 2023. Just fucking depressing. And we’re the only people who can stand up and stop this treatment - but most of us just continue to go along with it…

      Thx, was thinking that the whole time. The against her was not fair. They tortured her and the last conversation with TJ shows how. He answered to completely different things what she hadn’t said. I screamed with her in my head. She just wanted a hug and he insulted her for feeling lonely.
