    Jay had it planned from the start. He created the Tinder account the night of the wedding and when she finds out he states that he'd like to see her make him leave now that they are married?  He totally knew she was on the hook once the papers were signed and he was free to do as he pleased. Shady with a capital S.

    Which makes me wonder, could she have recourse for an annulment?  "He frauded me!"

    This. I knew Ashley was trying to put on a brave face when she said she didn’t care if he cheated. I believe she very much cared and just didn’t want people to know. And now, she has actual proof that Jay is slanging his penis around so she can’t be in denial anymore. I hope she does get a divorce. He knew what he was doing by getting on the app right after the wedding.

    I know one might argue that he’s 19/20 so what did Ashley expect...but I knew cheating was wrong at that age.

    Nothing on this earth will ever look as ridiculous as a 30-year-old mother of a seven-month-old baby standing in the bar section of an Applebee’s wearing a giant wedding veil. When you are 30 and pregnant with your second child, the bachelorette party ship has sailed.

    Did you miss the pink penis necklace? Was the highlight of that outfit for me.

    even an expedited passport takes time- it's not ready the same day.

    It can be ready same day if you have the money to cover the fees. I had a friend who was supposed to travel to Jamaica for aunt’s funeral. The morning of the trip, he realized his passport was expired. He was able to get a new one in time for the flight, but it was so expensive.

    Oh, he realizes it and refuses to acknowledge it.  Another passive aggressive move.

    I agree. She even asked him once to compliment her and he acted like she was asking him if he wanted a colonoscopy.

    Ashley has a son.  Where is he?   What have they done with him?   As far as we have seen, the son has not been introduced to the strange Jamaican man about to marry his mother.

    Ashley doesn’t want her children shown on the show. I don’t blame her. It’s nice to see a parent keeping their children off of this train wreck of a show.

    Anyway, I don’t think it’s a big deal that Jonathan went for drinks after work. As my 3rd teacher so eloquently said when I complained about being bored....boring people get bored. Fernanda, blessed as she is, is quite healthy physically and mentally. Thus, nothing stops her from heading to the gym, going out to explore the neighborhood, checking out local shops, visiting a library or a museum, etc. I can understand that she’s lonely and frustrated, but she’s old enough to entertain herself until Jonathan is back. If she can’t do so, that’s a big problem.

    I’m not really sure she did know the extent of who he was, though. I think she would likely have had a general sense, but considering how many things he has offered to get for her and then not followed through (on at least a compromise of something that would fit her often unrealistically expensive preference vs. his often unrealistically miserly preference), I don’t think she would have been aware before she came to the US and actually started living with him and Mother. 

    I agree that Larissa likely had no idea what she was getting into when she agreed to come here. In Brazil, multigenerational homes exist so I am sure Colt living with his mother wasn’t a problem until she realied that the relationship was always going to be about 3 people. I believe that Colt offered her a lot, including their own private home, just to convince her to come here.

  6. So the budget went from $1,000 to $150? Amazing. I hope Larissa wasn’t forced to wear a dress she didn’t like just because the price tag was low. The dress looks okay, but I can tell it’s not her style. I assume it was worn off the rack and not dry cleaned because a decent dry cleaner would have taken out the wrinkles.

    I am not one who believes that a dress needs to cost thousands, but if someone promised me a $1,000 budget and it became about 90% less, I would be disappointed. It’s manipulative of Colt to keep making promises he has no intentions of delivering on.

    I see Debbie wore her favorite errand-running outfit per the wedding picture Larissa posted on IG. I wonder if it was out of spite or if that’s really her best wedding outfit.

  7. As someone who had the misfortune of dealing with a Debbie when I was with my ex, Larissa has nothing but my sympathies. It is a miserable, lonely situation to try to be with your partner and have his mother shove her face into what should be a personal, romantic relationship. It was a traumatic experience for me. What sucks is that my ex’s mom came off like Debbie, sweet to her son and the other family members, so they couldn’t fathom why I side-eyed her. But she was manipulative to a very concerning level.

    As far as the DV charges are concerned, I am curious as to what really happened. I could see Colt being incredibly calm and Larissa being hysterical.

    As far as the kids are concerned, Larissa seems to have left them with family. I will not criticize a mother who likely left her children with family who could provide a better life for them. I read that at one point, Larissa was working in Brazil and that money was used for child support. I also read that she ran into financial difficulty and couldn’t pay at some point, but still. Larissa did say she plans to at least bring her oldest over when she’s far more settled in the US. Makes sense to me. She can’t work and her housing is unstable right now.

    Sure. Unless that relative comes in, screams at you, calls you a bitch, golddigger, tells you that you should be grateful since she lives like a queen with a diamond engagement ring, and a host of other bullshit.

    If not Debbie (who nosy cousin specifically referenced), than Colt. But someone did indeed poison the well.

    Exactly. Cousin Colt came in and he came in strong. I doubt he’d be so upset if Debbie   and Colt were telling hin that Larissa is all sunshine and roses. Where was Cousin Colt getting that Larissa was with Colt for a so-called “glamorous” lifestyle? I believe 100% that Debbie felt her place in Colt’s life was threatened and that’s why she decided to recruit the Cousin to be on her side. I get that she’s older, but that doesn’t mean she’s a completely innocent party.

    Why?? Whether they wear their dresses to the wedding or the dresses hang in the closet, the money has been spent. it doesn't cost the bridesmaids extra bc the wedding was cancelled. They did their part regardless.

    Because they bought the dress to wear as bridesmaids. They are no longer bridesmaids. They are no longer attending the wedding. They wouldn’t have paid for a dress if they’d known there would be no wedding. I think it’s reasonable to expect that Ashley feel some remorse for that. She’s been engaged 3 times...it’s possible the friends have been out money before as a result of canceled weddings.

  10. I failed to mention that Ashley’s friends need to ask her to pony up for the cost of the dresses. The one friend rationalized that they could use the dress for a vow renewal. Um, nope. You bought the dress for a wedding you planned to attend in two weeks, not a vow renewal. I know from experience that bridesmaid dresses can either be really cheap or really expensive. Either way, it’s not fun to shell out for a fancy dress you can’t even sell after it’s likely been altered.

    But they all said that she wasn't really even staying there, she's been staying at her BF's place most of the time, so she's only keeping that room to get under Leida's skin.  Time for her to move on.

    Her name is on the lease and she was there first. It is her apartment, technically, so she can come and go as she pleases. Leida hasn’t contributed a dime and has no more of a claim to the place than Eric. I would bet Tasha only stayed with the BF because she had no where else to go. Leida doesn’t work so she’s always there. It’s a toxic environment to be in and I would probably hang out elsewhere, too.

    Leida, is that you?

    Haha, no.. but seriously, I can absolutely picture something like that coming out of her mouth. She strikes me as someone who will find any way that she can to claw back that support money, including using Eric's kid as subsidized child care.

    Lol, I was being sarcastic. I am sure that’s what Leida thinks though.

    I was super disappointed when we saw Tasha's room. It wasn't remotely gross. It looked like a 19 year old's bedroom. And how extremely shitty must it have been for her to have to pack it up, alone, and shlep it all downstairs and across the parking lot to her truck, alone, while being berated by Leida the entire way. 

    Leida's "put it proper" standards are impossible to pin down. I still don't know how you can load someone's luggage into a trunk incorrectly, and Leida should really have a look at the average dorm room. Yeah, she had clothes spread out all over the place, but I didn't see any weeks-old dishes or nasty ground-in stains on the carpet. And she only had a futon to sleep on...Jesus, Eric is a terrible father. Leida is a temporary irritation; she's going to have to be his daughter for life

    Yeah, at most, I’d say her room was disorganized. A few items from Ikea and the Container Store would have kept the space nicer because I mostly saw clothes and accessories everywhere. Not trash.

    Who is Jenika?  A daughter good enough to be the babysitter for Aless??  Free babysitting, too! Leida is a joke!

     

    She is Eric’s other daughter. The one he’s paying child support for...Jenika has to earn her keep somehow!

    @Toaster Strudel I thought Debbie was cute until she made Larissa pick between the dress and the green card.

    I don’t condone fake sham green card marriages or any form of immigration fraud, but that was awful on Debbie’s part. Just cruel. She and her son enjoying calling the shots about having all the power and money in the house. And it’s abusive.

     

    I didn’t care for Debbie at all in the beginning because I’ve been there, done that with mama’s boys, and the innocent granny types can be the most manipulative of their sons and their relationships. I’m sure Debbie is a perfectly nice person off camera, but I knew that she was going to start shit behind closed doors and then pretend to be an innocent party when called out. She knew she was going to Cousin Coltee and badmouthing Colt’s relationship.

    I don’t care for her reminders to Larissa about Colt paying for things either. He took a woman with no money of her own and brought her here. Legally, he has to provide for her.

    He embarrasses her and she's ashamed to be seen with him, which is ironic because he cleans up better than her and has way more reason to act like a simpleton than she does.

    I could see this. He was probably interesting and exotic in Samoa, and now he obviously sticks out in their OC world. I really feel for him because he honestly seems like a nice guy. When he cried because Kalani rejects his attempts to smooth over disagreements with cuddles, I felt bad. I respect that Kalani doesn’t want to be touched and Asuelu should as well, but she just treats him so badly. If the roles were reversed, people would be appalled.

  16. And since Colt’s cousins think Debbie is the bee’s knees, I vote they move Aunt Debbie into their home. I bet they’d send her back to Colt within a week.

    Colt reminds me of jello. He just sits there, unmoving, 90% of the time. He doesn’t seem to give a shit about Larissa’s comfort because he knows she has limited options. There’s something very cruel about that.

    He absolutely needed to stand up for her when the cousin called her a bitch and insisted she was a gold digger.

    I highly doubt she only missed one month's rent.  I'm sorry when I was 19 I got a roommate and my own place.  It icks me how so many adult children seem to stay at home now. 

    I did too.  I thought I heard that.

    I respect anyone who voluntarily wants to live on their own at 19 and who is out there in the adult world surviving, but I can’t criticize anyone who would prefer to live with a parent or another family member at that age. It is sad to me when I see young people struggling to make it in this economy with no support from family. I’d rather my child get off on a more stable foundation with money in the bank for an apartment/home and vehicle. Tasha was not in a space to go find an apartment quickly and her dad knew that.

  18. Maybe it’s because in my culture, parents love to have their kids in the home for as long as possible, but I found the treatment of Tasha appalling. She’s 19! She doesn’t have the education or means to comfortably afford an apartment easily. Leida is just a cold hearted bitch. She not only kicked Tasha out, but she did it in front of 2 kids. Eric is just as bad...the tone he took when he told Tasha to get out was terrible and cruel. He needed her to help make ends meet and that’s what he does to her. Tasha is better off.

    Debbie looked like shit last night, do they ration out their shampoo and water too? tightwads!

    She comes off depressed and lonely to me...like someone who spends all day at home, just waiting for her son to call her so she can pick him up from work. I honestly think a senior community would do her some good and force her to find actual friends.

    I cannot stand Larissa, but Debbie is truly passive aggressive with het sneakiness. She dropped the word "senior living" to Colt, and immediatelt you could see the panic and wheels turning in his head at the thought of his mother living in "senior living", which probably conjured up inages of nursing homes. I dont see why Debbie couldnt find a cute little place in a 55+ community. 

    Debbie made the senior living community sound like prison. I’ve worked for one and have also visited family members living in one. They are basically apartments/condos for older individuals. They aren’t depressing at all. My aunt’s community has community activities and holiday events. 

    Debbie knew that talking about the facility would make Colt reassess what he’s doing with Larissa and that incredibly selfish.  I also dated a mama’s boy with a deceased father and it was a miserable situation. I was always going to be last. We couldn’t live in a city where I found a dream job because his mom complained the city was too loud. I couldn’t spend holidays with my parents and my ex because his mom said my ex was abandoning her. Run, Larissa! It won’t get better.
