It’s the lack of discussion that makes Manuel skeezy - if this were agreed upon in advance it would be fine. But his attitude of “my private life is private and I’m not sharing anything with you” is wildly incompatible with his entitlement to her money for his “private life”.

Everyone is saying she should try harder to integrate, but they’re overlooking that this is clearly a very conservative home.

I found an article listing “rules” in-laws had imposed on a new daughter-in-law and they include not being allowed to leave the house/compound without permission. https://www.herzindagi.com/society-culture/husband-family-rules-for-daughter-in-law-proves-we-failed-as-a-society-article-217261

It is really possible that TJ’s family won’t let her integrate because they view it as unnecessary. They don’t care about her emotional state - her job is to be their maid.

But she wasn’t their daughter-in-law; she was a single woman with rights. Now she is property. https://www.herzindagi.com/society-culture/husband-family-rules-for-daughter-in-law-proves-we-failed-as-a-society-article-217261

To be fair, I too would have the ick if my boyfriend had pets that he were so allergic to that he expected me to do all the clean-up for them without prior negotiation.

Her vows were awful and so possessive!

He is so rude and entitled and deeply disrespectful to her. :( I hope she doesn’t end up marrying him and tying herself to his financial abuse.

I don’t think that’s entirely correct - beekeepers need to open the hive anyway to check to make sure that it’s not being affected by parasites and to count the bees for conservation purposes. If bees have too much honey/resources, the hive will split and both new colonies will have a much lower chance of survival, so removing 2/3 of the honey regularly is considered good for the hive.

I think she has - she made a joke in her first season about how Gino’s meat was the only kind she liked.

This is a child? Why is this twelve year old getting married?

I had to look it up when Yash said it was anti-microbial. It is - but that’s still really gross because there are plenty of other anti-microbials that are not cow pee that you can clean with and putting a few drops on every threshold is not going to reduce germs in any meaningful way.

And yet if she was really worried about them and cared, she wouldn’t have sold the pictures of their wedding and made them lose the TLC contract.

Why does this affect you so negatively?

How am I supposed to have casual sex with someone if they don’t even have a bathroom for me to pee in afterwards? All his partners must have UTI’s all the time.

Same surgeon I would guess.

Isn’t he an automotive engineer or something?

I would never habe pegged him being a creative - he’s so utterly dull and soulless that he feels practically AI-generated.

We already knew she was untrustworthy and had no problems exploiting her kids for money. It’s really sad though that he still lets her in to ruin his life some more.

That’s for the original show, because the partner without a green card is legally not allowed to earn money. But this isn’t the original show - they’re in the Philippines, so I imagine TLC was sending them both money before they were fired for breaking the NDA.

I don’t understand why he quit his job though. They’re never going to be able to afford the paperwork now that he’s quit his job.
