Leida should have gone back with her family, she's just asking to suffer in his financial stress, not to mention her son, too.  

    

The green card is a strong motivator.  I have personally known a few alien women who lived in hell just to keep the marriage together to get it.  Living with abusive husbands, dirty nasty pig husbands who shower once a week and don't trim nails, husbands who don't give them any money to do anything while they can't work, husbands who forbid them from going out with friends, etc.  Crazy stuff.

True, but her family is very wealthy, she's not from poverty or desperate, she can figure out another way to immigrate here without suffering with a guy who's broke, I wouldn't put my child through that if I was from her family background.

yep, that would be a better move for her and her kid if she could have done that instead of all this drama

Her family is not VERY WEALTHY at all. Yes, they are well off but not very wealthy. Also having maids isn't a sign of being very wealth in SE Asia. Pretty much any family that has alittle bit of money can have at least a maid and a driver if they want because the wages are so low. She has completed 5 years of a 6 year medical degree that I know about is certified enough to be consider a General Practitioner but not more than that. If she wants to bring that here then she would have to have her school signed off as being equivalent to a school here.

Oh man.

 

We haven't watched this week's episode yet, but I keep going back and forth between thinking this season is one of the most boring seasons ever, and thinking this season is one of the craziest ones ever, based on the couples they picked.

 

I hate Steven. Like, as if I personally know him and have been victimized by him, kind of hate. He reminds me of an ex boyfriend I had in college and I just want to tell Olga to RUNNNN. He is SUCH A (word I can't say here). He's controlling. Selfish. Immature. Childish. Juvenile. Every synonym possible. He acts like a big baby when everything isn't about him, as if Olga didn't just deliver an actual human hours earlier. Rushing her when leaving the hospital. Yelling at her for every move she makes. Yelling at her for not wanting to take the NEWBORN BABY they literally JUST BROUGHT HOME out for a walk in the park??? Why do you even need to do that? She is still in PAIN, for Christ's sake. Baby aside, the woman needs to REST.

 

I don't understand how they even afforded to file for a K1, IF they even have. They're KIDS. He barely has a job. How did he afford it? How would he support them? They have basically admitted they're only doing this because they got pregnant, which is the absolute WORST reason to marry someone, international or not. I understand he wants to be a good father (allegedly, because he's not doing so great of a job so far), but that can be a separate issue.

 

I also get frustrated by Kalani (or however you spell it). She is so rude to the dude (I have no idea how to spell his name other than phonetically so I won't even try). He is from such a different kind of culture and country than the US. I get the whole taking the baby out of the seat in a moving car thing is serious.... but the way she treated him was terrible. That's not a crazy unusual thing where he comes from! It's like it doesn't even cross her mind that he just DOESN'T KNOW better. And instead of taking the time to educate him or get on his level about things, she screams at him like he's her child and belittles the ####### out of him. I feel sincerely bad for him.

 

Leida. Come on. I'm not sure what she's after, if she was living like royalty back home, if she's using this guy for a GC. But I can't see any other reason she's with him. There is zero chemistry, on either side. He is a grown man living like a child. Whether he's barely getting by financially or not, he should have stepped up better than he did, considering he's bringing a grown woman AND her child over to live with him. If you aren't in the position to even manage surviving yourself, what business do you have committing to managing two more people? You don't. But she's also a self-entitled spoiled brat that doesn't understand how things work in the states, and that's another pet peeve of mine. You don't bother to visit your potential home (if she had so much money back home how had she not visited before?? You're MOVING there to LIVE), or even find out what it looks like before you're there. I would have never asked Paul to move here if he had not seen where I lived, first and foremost, and experienced the culture here. I would've been the same with myself if I were moving to Sweden. I will never understand how these people blindly move to another country and then get so upset when it wasn't what they expected.

 

As for playing the victim card about how they're being portrayed on the show.... the contracts these people sign literally says the show has the right to portray them/their scenes however they want to. They knew what they were signing up for, they just don't like the outcome.

Håll ut, y'all.

So it looks like that Steven and Olga have a gofundme set up to help pay for their bills.

Guess reality is sitting in for Steven. Playing house isn't easy, and we all have to make sacrifices. The whole crowd funding thing is crazy. He just needs to move to a cheaper area.

Posted (edited)

Looks like Steven and Olga are in the USA because he refers to her as his wife and in the GFM he mentions about wanting to spend as much time together, so he refuses to "work his a.. off" like the rest of the parents in this country have to do. Had she not got pregnant, he wouldn't even remember her name or what she looks like now. He'd have moved on and had dozens of other one-night stands since then. He's complaining that she can't work. Why do so many K-1 folk not plan for this very lean financial period? Surely they all know the immigrant can't work for many months? 

 

Kalani... she's bordering on abusive with her plotting behind Asuelu's back with her family to "watch him", instead of getting him to a class in parenting. He's probably never cared for a baby before. Maybe in his culture it's considered "women's work" to look after babies. No one is born knowing how to change diapers, how to hold a baby, etc. My mother is a midwife in the U.K. and offers classes in baby care to parents-to-be. There must be something similar here. Yes, it was dangerous that he took the baby out of the seat but if they had been in a taxi would the baby have been in a seat? I am old enough that seats and seat belts weren't required when I was a child and I'm sure Asuelu was holding him safely, just as my mother did with me when I was that age. And I do believe he thought the baby was uncomfortable in the seat, straps were caught or pinching or something.

Plus, that would involve her doing actual work. She likes playing the princess and ordering a maid )or husband) around too much.

So Olga met with her friend to discuss her visa and how Steven wants to take baby to the USA. Finally Steven decided to be honest with Olga about her visa, we kinda figured that after seeing the GoFundMe page. 🙄 Also he isn't taking the baby to the states. It did surprise me when he proposed to Olga. I like her and she doesn't deserve his #######. I still think Steven deserves a kick in the teeth for his behavior!!

 

So Kalani is pregnant again, and of course it's Aseulu's fault, because as she said you got me pregnant. Last I knew it took 2 people to conceive. All because he didn't want to use condoms because they are for s l u t people 😁 

So at Kalanis bachelorette party she spills it to her sister being pg. How she reacted was a bit OTT if you ask me. And of course was Aseulu's fault. I'm so over this family.

Apparently Jay made a Tinder account the day after their wedding and was face timing with some girl. Actually when they got married, Ashley looked uncomfortable, wouldn't even look Jay in the eyes. Elvis might have factured in there! They were doomed from the start, Ashley was the only one who couldn't see it.

Larissa and Coltie had engagement pictures taken, the photographer was Brazilian, so Larissa told him to give Coltie pointers on complementing her. Larrisa and Debbie more or less called a truce at the nail salon and made up. But Larissa even admits she's a crazy b+tch! Lol

Ledia and her threats that she will go home, then go!! It's all about her and now Eric the douche is putting her before his kids. Then doesn't understand why they don't want to come to the wedding. Then this woman wonders why she has haters! 

Jon and Fer had their little misunderstanding, but I think it's more her immaturity. Plus never being away from home.
