They said early on in this season that she lived in India for a year before deciding to move there permanently to be with TJ. Did people not see where she said that the things she chose for the apartment construction were not what she picked out before she left? Why is everyone saying she should have researched the culture? I’m pretty sure living there for a year can equal to doing some research on the internet.
I mean I lived in India for a year and married an Indian—I would have noped the fuck out of TJ’s family in like 48-hours.
I wouldn’t accept their lifestyle either, but she knows them - she had countless opportunities to leave. Her fiance left her before the wedding and she begged him to take her back…
Fair. TLC absolutely stands for Terrible Life Choices.
But he wasn’t up front of being a wife. Had she known they clean with poop and urine, she may not have pursued a relationship with him.
It’s not a family secret - it’s something they do (probably did it on purpose to shock her).
Jenny also reacted badly when Sumit let a cow into the house. Who can list to her all the customs in the country - they are thousands. And this applies to every single country. There is no manual.
I’m a first generation Indian born here in America. Even I would have noped out of TJs family’s house too lol.
One of the many reasons I told my parents a long time ago that I’d never get an arranged marriage like they did.
If they were a normal Indian family they wouldn’t be on TLC.
They are for their state.
I recently watched Love Without Borders (was on aired on Bravo, but you can watch the whole season on Peacock).
If you’ve never heard of it, it’s basically like 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Around, except they don’t know which country they are going to and they don’t know who they’re matched with.
There’s a Punjabi girl that was born and raised in America that gets matched with someone. She’s the only one out of all the couples whose parents don’t participate in the show. According to her, she was very clearly told that she would bring shame to the family by participating in the show.
THAT’S a normal Indian family lol. That’s exactly what my parents would tell me. You don’t think I get urges to apply for Love Island?? My parents would kill me lol.
The Punjabi girl was over the top. I loved the couple in Ireland. Was there ever a tell all or reunion? Now I need to go back and watch again
That was a good show, some folks had unreal expectations though
48 hours? That’s generous. After they started burning the cow poo in the kitchen and cleaned the drops of cow poo off the table with the same cloth she wiped the pan, i would have run out so fast… i was sooooo grossed out
That is what I find so annoying about Kim. She did live with the family and saw how they were, she knew there were times TJ lied to her, but instead of getting the fuck out of there, she he insisted TJ’s family should conform to her. That just struck me as so unreasonable of her.
