You’re a nicer person than I am. Fuck in haste, repent at leisure. No one was stopping him from using a condom. And it’s not like this was his first rodeo raw dog.

FTFY.

I get why Bini didn't give AF about protection, but what the hell was going through Ari's mind that she would fuck a random Ethiopian dude (in Ethiopia) that she met in a taxi line FFS and not use protection? With the amount of HIV out there? Granted, I don't know how Ethiopia stacks up in terms of infection rate compared to the rest of the continent, but hell even in a developed country, a random hook up would absolutely be using one (at least for me personally). Not just for contraception sake....

I feel like so  many of these couples' "journey" should be required viewing for teens in sex ed as to why you ALWAYS use protection and birth control.

The thing that drives me crazy about these couples is how they continue to have unprotected sex despite the danger of STDs or pregnancy. It’s not like Ari and Bini (Emily and Kobe, et al) had an impulsive, drunken one night stand. 

Unfortunately, I think subjecting teens to watching this show as a warning probably would backfire as programs like “Teen Mom” and “Unexpected” only serve to glorify teen pregnancy.

Why is Leandro there for a visit, anyway? Will he be invited to the wedding? Since he's Ari's "best friend," maybe he'll be in the wedding party?

That reminds me, has there been any discussion of their wedding aside from the dress shopping that didn't happen? Those details have been discussed to death by the other couples. 

Please let him walk her down the aisle, please let him walk her down the aisle... 🙏🤞

Leandro should be the Best Man.

He could get a certificate from the Universal Life Church and officiate! (AND be the Best Man since Bini doesn't have anybody)

Did they ever say why Kobe didn't want Emily to use birth control? And she's 29 years old, why would she obey?

Love how Shaeeda tells Bilal's ex wife to "google" her... LMAO!!

Because she WANTED to get pregnant.  I believe she planned the whole "night alone before you meet your son" because her phone app told her she was ripe.

I’m picturing the mom, grandma and Miona sitting down to dinner, all with the same fox eye eye-liner look!

Now this is something I would love to see!! 😂

Ari...who has a kid already...and has been having unprotected sex...and doesn't pay attention to her cycle...is shocked she can't be pregnant?

"I can't be pregnant." Um, yes, you can. See above outline re: your stupidity.
