Way too many differences,” he asks for her honest opinion, “So do you think we should stay together, or should we get divorced?” She’s already told him “I don’t think it’s going to work.” She says he needs to use his rational brain and that he “knows what he needs to do.” He says he does want to do the right thing, but does he really know what that is? 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days airs Sundays at 9pm on TLC.
