I understand Ashley’s worry that Manuel is using her, considering he doesn’t exactly seem head over heels in love with her. But if their relationship was better, it shouldn’t be such cause for concern that he has relatives living in the same state. If anything that could be a plus! People to help him adjust to the move and help him not feel isolated. Some of the foreign spouses on this show lead horribly lonely lives. With a support system nearby, he could theoretically settle in better and get a job faster.
