I am familiar with Indian culture. In Sumit’s culture, sons are expected to earn a living.
Maybe he considers servicing Jenny sexually to be his job. It's not a totally unreasonable assumption.
No, this is completely reasonable. Maybe Jenny and Sumit do really embody the family unit every Indian parent imagines for their child: a wife who keeps a sparkling clean house, and a husband who is a sexual slave.

The only thing I will say for Jenny is IF she's the sole financial support of both her and Sumit, then I can see where she would have just cause and reason to balk about kowtowing to him and his family, because that is anything but traditional for the woman to be the breadwinner. She then would have every reason to want to run her home the way she sees fit, even if that means living in a pig sty.
Financially, Sumit has brought $20,000 of debt to the household. One might call him a breadloser.

Mike looks like he's 54 which for an Asian man means he's more like 74 and I say this being part asian.
Is he Asian? I would not have guessed that. His features make him look like sort of a raceless humanoid.
Translator app AND a runner? Pole 2.0 has a lot to live up to. I hope this one also comes with a disappointed mother.

Why is everyone suddenly on board with Sumit adhering to traditional Indian norms? It is common for a mother in law to live with her newlywed son and his wife, but couples in India really don’t tend to live together without being married. Many Indian mothers-in-law don’t move in after their son’s weddings. Almost no Indian boyfriends move their girlfriends in without serious plans to get married.
Sumit is picking and choosing when he wants to stick to tradition according to when it aligns with what he wants, just like Steven.

In Indian culture, sons were probably not expected to do any cleaning - that was the woman's job.

Awesome! We need a perspective like yours.
So am I correct in saying that Indian men are not as lazy as Summit and assist women in the household duties? Because I was under the assumption they are just as lazy as Greek men.
Also, I did read online that there are retirement homes in India while they (show) is making it out like there isn't any. Plus wouldn't it also fall on the younger son's responsibility to take care of the parents if Summit cannot? So again I assume that this protest about Jenny is partially for show.
Any other info on these two nitwits and India would be great!
Sure. Everything really rests on what Sumit said in his confessional about wanting his life to get back to normal. By normal, he means a traditional Indian couple, where the man works outside the home to provide for the couple and the woman stays at home to manage the household. Sumit even says something about wanting to get a job and Jenny to “take care of him,” or handle all the household chores. This is almost certainly what he saw growing up in his own household.
Sumit is trying to force himself and Jenny into the roles in which he saw his father and mother while ignoring the fact that their realities are very different. It is a safe assumption that Sumit’s mother began her marriage as a stay at home wife with the understanding that she would soon have children and be a full time stay at home mother (extremely common when Sumit was growing up, because it was reasonable for a family to get by on a single income). In Sumit’s fantasy world, Jenny is a stay at home wife while he goes out and works. The problems here are that a) among urban middle class married couples in 2021, stay at home wives aren’t the norm (married women typically work outside the home and may leave their jobs to stay home once they have kids) and b) Sumit has spent the past three years whining his protests about Indian traditions and how he is being unfairly restricted by them. Sumit complains about traditional Indian norms while wanting his home life with Jenny to follow outdated traditions that the rest of his community has already evolved past.

I know it probably won’t happen, but part of me would love for Sumit’s parents to overstay their welcome and live in Jenny’s house for months, just like Jenny did to them when she first visited India.

He was saying abstinence is the best method of birth control, since only one woman who practiced it (i.e. Mary) has ever gotten pregnant. It must be that kind of wit that keeps Alina going back. Seriously, has anyone figured out what she could possibly see in this guy?

I don't think so. India is India and boys are treated like they are gods and do nothing. My Greek ex FIL was great at cooking and cleaning but my ex husband picked up shit.
I’m Indian-American! I have family and friends in India and I think Sumit is just lazy.

I have never wanted to slap the stupid grin off of Sumit’s face more than when he was giggling about how his mama cleans better than Jenny does. Mother Sumit can’t be that thorough of a housekeeper, or Sumit would have learned how to pick up a damn broom somewhere along the way!

I forgot about that. They really should have let him paddle off into the horizon.

If the previews are any indication of Michaela’s regular MO, I surprised she hasn’t been in legal trouble or she will be if she doesn’t cool it.
That was truly hard to watch. How do the other couples stay after that? I would be making a break for it to evacuate Hurricane Kay.

Tipsy Myrla is delightful. Can we swap her out for Jamie Otis, on the condition that she has a couple of those 25 cent martinis before filming?

I have watched enough true crime to know that the world is riddled with men who were brought up by moms who coddle them and excuse their crappy behavior. They often end up killing their female partner and Mom is like, "What? She was a bitch!"
Tell me why I immediately pictured Debbie saying, “What? She was a bitch!”

Did any of us see a second stolen passport coming this season? If Sharp Entertainment goes for a third, whose is it going to be?
My guess is Corey’s. Evelin’s sisters will use it to make soup in the second recycled plot line this season.

Also, did anyone else think it was small of Kenny after watching the scene between his daughter and Papa Armando with the necklace to say, "Where's MY necklace?" I think he is so self centered, he can't stand to have anyone else in the spotlight for even a second. To me it was almost like, "Hey, look at ME! This is about ME."
For sure. For someone so sensitive to perceived slights, Kenny could not wait a minute to focus the attention back on him when Father Armando was being very sweet with Cassidy!

Sumit proclaimed that he doesn’t like to lie but he learned it by watching you, Dad!
What kind of lies do you think Father Sumit modeled for his useless son? Did he pretend to be an English gentleman named Michael Jones, or did he say a menopausal woman was visiting to learn about Indian culture when she was really fucking him in the family home?

As an American, I humbly request that Ethiopia keep Ari. We don’t need her back. Could we possibly fly an American doctor over there just to perform Avi’s surgery?

Also, Papa Armando has only met Kenny twice.
And he can’t converse with him at all! “Mucho gusto, automobile.” What does Kenny do all day? Put on a telenovela!!

Wow, was Leandro trying to get out of Ari's death hug but she just wouldn't let him go.
Between Bini’s choke hold and this, Leandro may never visit again without a precautionary oxygen tank.

Didn’t he say that before he could apply online there would have to be an investigation into whether they resided at that address for at least six months? But they could have started that sooner lol.
I assume this is a translation thing and he meant Sumit has to provide proof of residency, such as utility bills or a lease agreement. He probably also has those on his phone!

S03.E08: Selective Virtues
in 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way
Man, you guys are harder on Jenny than my own Indian mother is. Jenny has made way more of an effort to assimilate than we have seen on Sumit’s end to make her adjustment easier. She wears Indian clothes, she mentioned trying to cook Indian food, and if she had more than two people to talk to in India she might have picked up some more Hindi by now.
Sumit had a traditional Indian wife, but he divorced her in a ($20) grand gesture where he begged his parents to reject the customs of old. But all of a sudden Jenny is held to the expectations of Indian housewives from 30 years ago? Why?
