Zied and Rebecca’s communication issues cause a serious strain in their marriage in Monday’s episode of “90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort.”
In an exclusive clip obtained by Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea,” the married couple, who wed in April 2020, engage in a tense discussion over household chores while sitting around a campsite with the rest of the other struggling spouses.
“I genuinely want to know: how am I not a good wife to you?” Rebecca, 55, asks, to which Zied, 32, replies, “I [did] not say you’re not a good wife. I said, like, I want you to be like a real wife.”
At the encouragement of Dr. Tyrone K. Grandison, a marriage and family therapist, Zied goes on to complain about their lack of verbal communication, also claiming Rebecca doesn’t “cook” for him because she’s busy working “16 hours” every day.
Fellow cast member Guillermo then chimes in with his opinion, blaming the rift on their cultural differences.
“You are asking for something that, sadly, is not what you can have right now, meaning she needs to work,” Guillermo says.
He adds, “She’s not the same kind of woman that, I guess, you were used to in your country, which is gonna be cooking more, cleaning … taking care of the man and the house more than working.”
Paola — another “90 Day Fiancé” fan favorite — quickly interjects to explain that a woman doesn’t have to “cook and clean just to be a wife,” before Rebecca finally responds to the accusations being hurled her way.
According to Rebecca, she previously worked as a chef and was “excited” to cook for Zied when he moved to the US from Tunisia. However, they quickly realized that he “doesn’t like” anything she cooks — or any American food, for that matter.
“We actually never eat the same food anymore. That isn’t about me not wanting to cook,” Rebecca fumes, before turning to Zied and asking, “Are the bills paid?”
The clip ends with her husband sheepishly backing down as he admits their finances are taken care of.
Despite their struggles, Rebecca celebrated their anniversary in an April Instagram post.
“Happy Anniversary my love ❤️ 8 years together and 6 years since we said I Do,” she wrote in the caption. “I wouldn’t change a thing. Enhebek barchaa habibi ❤️”
“Enhebek barchaa habibi” translates to, “I love you so much, my love,” in English.
“90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort” airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.
