I admit, I'm a sucker for "reality" tv. (except for any of the Bachelor or Housewives franchises!) and I got sucked into 90 Day Fiance and the different variations...("happily ever after," "the other way," etc.). I'm just amazed at some of the couples on these shows.

If you do watch it, please give your opinion. I can't believe some of these Americans are so stupid. On the other hand, I think it must be difficult for someone to come here on a K1 visa. They give up everything to come to a foreign country to marry someone they have probably only spent a few weeks with prior to this. They have no idea what their life here will be like. Some of these women who come over are so demanding--"I don't want to live in Oklahoma, we have to move to Miami!" or "you don't spend enough money on me." But luckily, they do follow some couples that seem to have made it work. (By the way, probably one of the reasons I find this fascinating is that I'm struggling to deal with giving up everything to move only 40 min. away to be with the man I love.)

Wow. Good for you, cossy. It's hard to find a mate to love and have compatibility with. WooHoo. Happy for you if you decide to do it. Taking risks is scary but without it we can stay stuck forever.
"Hope springs eternal"....
(Can't watch the show but enjoy!)

Maybe a compromise? Compromise is good.... I love negotiations when those involved are truly willing to reach across the aisle.... Lol.

Oh, I wish some of you watched the show...I have so much to say! LOL

Say it anyway. I love stories and we can make it relevant.

maybe...I just feel it would take a lot of back story.

I moved 800 miles away to be with my husband. I loved my city, but moving was the best decision I ever made. I do go back to visit, but I've been here for 34 years. I can't imagine living anywhere else......well maybe Mexico for a few months just to get away from the cold and snow😂😂😂

Seems like most people who have elected to make an extreme life change end up being happier after having taken the plunge. I wonder.
Safety nets are good. My CA daughter wants us to move out there...maybe. Maybe make the move but keep a spot here in case it turns out to be a mistake? Life change is good....especially when in love.

so much I could say about this show, but it would require a bit of back story. but here is one thing I can share that, I think, speaks for itself. Two of the couples they follow can't even speak each other's language and depend on a translator app to communicate. How can a couple expect to have a marriage when they can't even talk to each other? That might work to a degree on line, but how can you uproot your entire life and move across the world to be with someone you can't even have a conversation with?

When does this show come on and what channel?
Offline
it's on TLC. I think Sunday's at 8 pm Eastern time. There is also "90 day fiance pillow talk" which is couples from previous seasons watching the current show and commenting on it which can be interesting, although maybe not that much if you hadn't seen their season. If you watch it, let us know what you think. You should be able to watch it on On Demand, too

Ah, ok.

ok, another couple I just don't understand. He gives up everything in South Africa or New Zealand or where ever he's from and moves to CT to be with his "fiance." They have 90 days to figure out their relationship and either get married or he has to go back where he came from. Sixty days in, she has to leave to go to Costa Rica for 30 days to take some course on holistic healing or something, leaving him to live in her mother's shed (yes, the couple is living in her mother's shed) for 30 days alone. No friends, nothing. She says it's for their future because they want to start some kind of business. Shouldn't they be spending every minute of those 90 days together? (oh, and he can't go with her because he can't leave the country while on the K1 visa)
