To me even since Happily Ever After she’s been really really let down by Asuelu and his family are willing to have them live in poverty because of their own expectations.
Sure there are cultural expectations and things, but surely if you know your grandchildren would suffer because of the amount of money you’re asking for you’d either dial it back or not ask at all.
Sure Kalani teams up with her sister but I think it’s because she feels utterly unheard in her relationship. Can you blame her? Asuelu and her don’t have the same love language at all and they have a huge barrier in terms of language and culture.
Just my thoughts.
I don’t hate her I just feel bad. I see my friends in her when it comes to dating/marrying/having kids with someone who they WISH their partner was and not the reality of who their partner is. It’s easy for me to judge and be like damn if you got to know them as a person and had self respect beforehand it wouldn’t even have gotten that far to where you’re now unhappily married with kids. BUT kids don’t come with a return policy and they’re already here. And relationships are complicated and people are not flawless pawns who always make the right move. Which is a good reason why I actually watch the show. Their flaws and inability to give up on a relationship they’ve put so much into makes them relatable humans because it does happen a lot. In light of news she’s talked about on her Instagram I wish a healing road for her for where the first time in her life she can focus on herself, figuring out who that is, and how to pick up the pieces and move on because I can’t imagine she’s staying with him still, but I don’t know. I can’t imagine I’d be a good partner now if I had not spent time single figuring myself out and how I cope before bringing someone else and future kids into it, but everyone’s different and it’s never too late to give yourself a chance.
