I think once you give heirloom jewelry to someone it is theirs. In this case it was right for the ex to give it back to Josh, but it will always be his first wife's ring now, even if it is not in her possession. This is why you should think through who you give your special ring to. If they had a kid together it should be given to the kid. If not then, he's shit out of luck. 

I gave my old engagement ring to my daughter and she wears it on her pinky. I couldn't imagine putting it back on if another man proposes to me. How would that man feel knowing I wanted to wear my old engagement ring given to me by my ex? Same principle.

2 carat heart shaped ring for 12K?  Typical....aika going for obvious rather than quality.  And in one sentence she says it's not about the ring, it's all about getting married and having a family...having a baby...she's worried about his lack of action in getting a ring and following through....yikes whatever.  LOL!

Luis has a terrible swing.  Shit.

Nicole seems to have latched on to one mantra "you don't gotta change for no man" which translates into if relates to exercise or something you don't want to do, file this under "changing for a man."  Eye roll.  Hassan needs to stay in Morocco and find someone else.  Please move on dude.  You are correct...by your standards she is fat and lazy and has no interest in the paramounts of healthy living.  It's pretty simple...she's not exactly hiding this from you.

I can't get past Evilyn's pasted on smile talking.  Somewhere along the line she was praised for this.  She has an annoying way of saying something glib and condescending and then smiling really big like she pooped in the toilet and wants praise.  It's ridiculously annoying.

Blowup sex toy mouth and Andy need to elope at the town hall and then have Moldovian monkey sex on the bed daddy bought.  Yup.   And Daddy outted her by saying she's a part time employee that makes shitty nepotism wages and has no real job skillz.  Whoops.  Andy seems like a take charge kind of guy....good for him.

When fake smiling Evilyn was spinning around her vintage kitchen, smiling and admiring her vintage appliances, smiling and imagining her dining room table and then twirling and smiling while putting a nice real evergreen holiday Claremontian tree in the corner, did anyone hear "be our guest, be our guest, BE OUR GUEEEEESSSSSTTTT!"  in their heads?  No?  Just me?

I think the issue is that he'd already used the ring on his first wife. As others have mentioned, if he'd made the effort to put the stone in a new ring at least, it could at least be considered a new ring. 

An heirloom ring is as much about the setting as the stone, maybe more.

Poor David Spain.   Came all the way across the Atlantic to marry a high school girl, figured when he said jump she'd say how high and when can I come down.   Putty in his hands.  Now he discovers she has not only a strong will but a dream she wants to chase.   No wonder he looks constipated all the time.

I get that Evelyn may seem unlikable.   But I don't think she's a bitch, or needs to be slapped, or body-shamed.

If Andrrrrrei was living in Ireland on a student visa, doesn't that mean university student? If so, why is his goal to be a truck driver? I have nothing against truck drivers, but why wouldn't he pursue a career in his field of study, something that might have a higher financial ceiling and not require him to be away from home all the time (if he's talking about long distance truck driving)?

The script writers need a thesaurus. Maybe throw in some is these to mix things up -- idle, indolent, slothful, work-shy, shiftless, inactive, underactive, sluggish, lethargic, remiss, negligent, slack,  lax, lackadaisical.  All of these suit Nicole.

Evelyn should never, ever wear those jeans again.  David seems very nice... but he's proof of the travails that can happen if you are thinking with your dick and not your brain.  Her voice.  I hate it.  It makes me want to put oxygen on her because she's so breathy and I am afraid she's going to pass out.  Bitch is selfish.  Very, very 18.

Nicole.  Girl.  I hate you and your whiny ways, but imma tell you straight:  Anyone who says they are attracted to you "55 percent" wants to run far, far away from you.  There are so many men that don't need you to lose weight, or will at the very LEAST lie with believability.  The "lazy" comments were getting to me (Azan, dude.  I know all about the fat girl angles, but you should have had SOME clue from video chatting), until I saw that she SLEEPS IN UNTIL 3PM!?  Wtf.  That kinda blew my mind.  Yup, that's sheer laziness.  

David is rapidly gaining his weight back.  He's such a sad sack, and Annie could have done better.  I LOVE Chris' wife.  "I only go with it because Chris asked me to."  Cue amazing side eye <3  

Josh with the creepy porn eyes freaks me out.  Aika is very likable and personable- she just needs to tone down the eyelashes, and of course- run away from porn Josh as quickly as possible.  Josh, you so tacky.  And those fucking plugs.  

Elizabeth looks sooooo much better with no lipstick on.   Her family sucks.  

Why the fuck would Molly think that a 26 year-old male would be ready and equipped to be a stepfather to girls who do not WANT a step father?   Ooooh, man- when that sharing the food scene happened last episode, did anyone else feel Luis switching on the Sanky Panky??  It was almost obscene, and so totally a power move in front of Olivia.  It was gross.

I almost thought he just used that as something to say to the Dad because he knew the question was coming.  He was almost daring the guy to say something disparaging about truck drivers.  He's very calculated.   I still think he's going to keep his day job as every stereotypical assassin in a tom cruise movie.

True to the whole post but that whole paragraph is what is wrong with both Nicole and Azan.  They both are telling each other the truth and neither of them is believing the other.  Which is why I called them famewhores. 

Azan is calling her a fat, lazy and only partially attractive (to him.)  Like GIRL.   Why are you settling for that shit???

Nicole is trying to make him an insta-daddy and she wants him to be more devoted to her than she is to him.  Azan....she's so immature and is never going to change.  And she's lazy and that child is going to soon be a not so adorable HOT MESS.  Go find yourself a fit girl that you are 65% attracted to.  EYE ROLL

Why is May asking up so often crying? Why is it so hard for Nicole to figure out why?  When my kids were that age, they woke crying only when they were sick.  She is a lazy, inattentive mother. 

My youngest woke up every night. He didn’t cry, but he wouldn’t sleep alone. I would go lie down with him until he fell asleep. 

 

Kids are different. However, she probably needs more physical activity.

Impoverished, tattooed 24 year old Bangkok bargirls don't have great marriage options. No respectable Thai man will marry them. Their options are to marry a poor, low class Thai guy who might REALLY drink a lot and beat them and make them keep working in the bar as long as possible while living off the girl's money. 

Or they can marry a foreigner they meet in their bar, and believe me, those guys can be really creepy and old and way worse than the broke and occasionally tipsy David.

It may have been his mother's ring but he chose a woman to give it to and she was nice enough to give it back when she dumped his ass. He should put it in a box and keep it in his safe. Not give it to the next woman on his list. He made a choice. It didn't work out. Im having a hard time believing anyone would want your fiancé's ex wife's ring. 

When he explained it was his mother’s ring i do understand how special that is. I never had an engagement ring but at 10 years i got an eternity band- not sure why the ring is so important to her..... as special as the ring is,perhaps if he put it in a different setting ?

So true! She reminds me of Amy Adams from Enchanted except she's bitchy.

1.  Andrrrrrei is sexy as hell.  Yes please.

2.  Libby...my god, I just want to punch her in the face everytime she says his name.

3.  Azan is a nag.   

4.  Nicole sleeps until 3:00 p.m.????  Is this due to jet lag for May?  I hope that in the USA she's on a better schedule.  

5.  David Spain has a degree in international business, right?  No wonder he doesn't want to live in rural NH.  How is he going to use that there?  Makes perfect sense to live in a more metropolitan area, especially if they will have a traditional household and she will be a SAHM (or at a minimum, not the main breadwinner).  

6.  Molly to Olivia - "I would think you would want me to be happy."  I HATE that sort of catch 22 manipulation.  Is there any right answer to that?  Of course not.  

7.  Aika - I'm not materialistic, I want children.  One or the other dear but not both in the same conversation as you "deserving" the 2 karat ring.

That's the whole point.    It's what Mohammed did.    He can claim a legal marriage while having an excuse to not actually be around his American wife.   Although I will say Andrei is probably  more in love with Elizabeth than Mo was with Danielle.

 

As for the ring, yeah, if it's a family heirloom, you save it for your kids not hand it over to the new wife.   Of course, his kids probably want nothing to do with him so he can't hold it for kids who won't even invite him to their wedding.

Father and Brother Elizabeth lost me at "WHY would you want to live in Maldova" I fully expected them to star chanting " USA USA "  dicks

I actually think it is a fair question since Moldova is one of the poorest countries in Europe and there is very little economic opportunity there.  I did a quick search and it looks like many people leave that country and work abroad to support their families and thus go months or years without seeing their spouses or children.  Andrei himself was in Ireland because of the lack of jobs in Moldova.  I don't think that the USA is the best country in the world in every area, and certainly people are happier elsewhere, but there are many, many places that are a lot worse.  Source: I have lived in other countries and have a number of ex-pat friends who share experiences with me.  There are many countries I'd be willing to live in- Moldova is probably not one of them, although I'm totally game for a visit.

He incarnates everything that is loathsome and repugnant about a certain sort of Arizona male.  Usually resides in Mesa, AZ.  Drives a pickup truck.  Loves Trump.  Adores guns.  Has a very low opinion of women in general.  Fearful of "feminazis."  Convinced that American women are all no-good sluts who do not know how to take care of A Wonderful Guy Like Him.

A big believer of "building the wall."  Catch my drift?

I see Josh differently.  First, I thought he drove an SUV.  I've seen nothing about him loving Trump or guns.   

He seems to have (at least) 2 major issues to me. 

1) He has a low view of himself  (perhaps not without cause) and believes he couldn't find a decent American woman (he might be right).  By going to the Philippines he believed he could get a woman who would be out of his league, if she were an American.  He also wants a "hot" woman to build his self esteem and because he thinks having one on his arm will make people think more of him.

2) He has a pornified view of women and what women should be like.   

There are plenty of great guys who drive pickup trucks and like guns, etc, who respect women.  There are also plenty of guys who hate guns and drive Priuses who have the same sort of warped view of women that Josh has (and there are good guys who hate guns and like Priuses).  

As we have seen from the recent headlines, (and from throughout history) there are screwed up men, some of them predatory, all across the political spectrum.

I am guessing he had a vasectomy.  He has fathered children in the past, and men who are not actively trying to have kids normally aren't checking their sperm counts.  So, most likely, he would only know there was an issue if he had a vasectomy (or some sort of accident).

It seems like Nicole made a pretty good effort in the workout.

So Azan is attracted to Nicole 55% and trusts her 40%.  Altogether that is 95%.  If he respects her 5% she will be his dream girl. :)

It's hard to know which of these love-bird couples is more sickening than the others. Where to begin? How's about an alleged step- father wannabe suggesting a minor child consider f---ing" her boyfriend and Mama Molly remaining committed to the relationship nonetheless? Could Luis be brought up on charges of child endangerment and abuse for that alone? Possibly? Do authorities anywhere catch this show? The poor Thai lady along the one from the Philippines have sold themselves to the lowest bidders: both losers, one an abject jobless drunk and the other, a jobless felon abuser who apparently has failed to let his "I wanna have a baby now" fiance know he's sterile? Azan and Nicole may how warrant whatever their delusional hell brings next. But can poor little May be rescued? Where's Grandma when we need her? The Grandma who wept so openly at the very thought of what her grand daughter was being subjected to when "mom" yanked her half-way around the world, far away from any hope of sanity? f Elizabeth is comfortable following Andrei to Maldova after all the green card effort, so be it and her daddy is right to say go it on your own. How will this fare? Andrei is clearly a bully and gives the impression he's capable of selling her into white slavery. Or if he stays i n the US and fulfills his aspiration to be a truck driver....what are the odds he'd be capable in any way of obeying any relevant US laws? Finally, David and Evelyn. Run David, Run. Run as fast as you can. Just run.
