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 assume she has no luck with men in the US so she went to south America and found him. To me he’s looking a green card then he’s gone. He has shown no sign that he cares about her at all.

    To be fair, Ashley is no prize either. She’s a pain in the ass, addicted to caffeine, has zero self awareness, is way too loud (I say this as a loud girl, she is too fucking loud), emotionally unstable, pushy, the list goes on. I don’t ser anyone else putting up with either of them. My understanding is the relationship is built on “great sex”.

    I feel like I’m going against the grain here, but hear me out…

    Is there some editing tricks at play here? While I don’t agree with his lack of respect and can see he appears to bring little if anything to the table, Ashley appears to mirror many of those toxic and disrespectful behaviours.

    Translating for her friends, but with personal bias, twisting his words to make them fit with her own version of events, calling her friend while they were driving, to complain about him while he was in the car. He may not speak English fluently but I guarantee he knows a lot more than she’s aware, so he likely was completely aware so was bitching about him but unable to fully understand exactly what was being said, that seems very patronising and insulting to me (I feel if you need to vent, out of respect for your partner surely you’d be able to hold it together until a time you could speak while your partner isn’t in ear shot)

    The whole sending his family money thing, definitely a conversation that needed to be had and explicitly agreed upon by both parties prior to him arriving given he’s unable to work - BUT surely in the time she’s known him, the time she’s spent in Ecuador she was aware of that as a cultural norm AND doesn’t he have two sons? So he should be sending money home at a minimum each month for them. These are things you would assume she was across prior to them even considering the K1.

    They seem incredibly dysfunctional and toxic, both need to do work internally before committing to marrying each other or anyone

    I really want “Que eres un pulpo” to be my flair but I can’t get it to work. I watched that scene about 57x.

    I can’t wait for this man to reveal that he’s still married to his baby mama or something and this is all a ploy to work in America for awhile to send back lots of money, then go back to Ecuador to live like a king

    She knew he had kids.

    Did she not consider, or ask, how he will support them when he’s in the US not working?

      I agree. I don’t think it’s crazy for him to want money to send back to his family. I also don’t think it’s crazy if she doesn’t want to do that - but they should have talked about this and came to an agreement before he came to the US.
