90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way fans have conflicting opinions about the prospect of Mahmoud Elsherbiny and Nicole’s relationship. Nicole and Mahmoud were introduced to viewers on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 4. The duo is certainly not the everyday couple, but a deeper look into their relationship quickly rang alarm bells for many of the show’s fans.
The first red flag given off by Nicole and Mahmoud is the speed at which they tie the knot. Nicole met Mahmoud during a spiritual trip to Egypt, and the two immediately hit it off. A few hours after the two met, Mahmoud asked Nicole to marry him and move back to Egypt, and she surprisingly agreed. A week later, Nicole flew back to North Africa, and the two married.
Their marriage immediately began to experience problems as Nicole struggled to adapt to the cultural differences. Nicole made six attempts to live with Mahmoud in Egypt, but she found it a bit harder to cope every time. The couple eventually decided to apply for a spousal visa for Mahmoud to live in the United States. However, that move also ended in futility — as Nicole canceled the process after the couple began discussing divorce.
Initially, 90 Day Fiancé fans felt Nicole was the problem in the relationship. However, after her permanent relocation to Egypt to try and save her marriage, some fans have begun to see things differently. While Nicole struggles with parts of Egyptian culture, many fans feel Mahmoud’s dismissive behavior isn’t helping matters. They have also accused him of being controlling and feel he initiates most of the issues between him and his wife.
90 Day Fiancé Fans Feel Nicole Should Leave Egypt
Since moving back to Egypt indefinitely, Nicole has been having a torrid time. For the most part, she has cut a frustrated figure, and things don’t seem to improve between her and Mahmoud. While many fans have lauded her for staying true to herself, they understand that something has to give at some point. Since Egyptian culture wouldn’t change for Nicole, many fans believe it’s time she cut her losses and moved back to Los Angeles. One Reddit user HunterYeah13 started a thread about Nicole’s pitiable situation and tagged it, “I literally yell “GO HOME MY LOVE” every time she comes on the screen.”
The OP also shared a picture of Nicole in a very emotional state. Many Reddit users took to the thread to react to the pictures — advising Nicole to leave Egypt.
One user, u/freedeecee, wrote,
“Man, I felt bad for her when she broke down a bit and said she was homesick :( You could tell she knew she made a mistake. His way of life is so different than hers, and they honestly don’t seem like they like each other. She should go back home!”
Another Redditor, u/toouglytobe, responded,
“She doesn’t even get to change into something else. She just gets to be less. Forced into being less seen, less heard, less valued. So hard to watch her die a little inside at his response to wanting to meet his friends. Agree, she needs to go home asap.”
Many of the fans showed empathy for what Nicole must be going through. They feel she is having a hard time and wonder why she couldn’t end it all by picking up her bags and walking away.
90 Day Fiancé Fans Feel Nicole Might Need Time To Adapt
Despite her arduous journey, some fans think Nicole might need more time to adjust. This group of fans even highlighted that Nicole had already lived in Egypt six times, as she claimed — so she had a perfect idea of what she was getting herself into. One fan, u/Ramptsch, took time out to do a thorough analysis of the situation. The user explained that this was a significant life change, so it shouldn’t be expected to be a walk in the park. The fan then advised her to make more effort in adapting to society while also lauding Mahmoud for being patient with her.
Another fan, u/texas_forever_yall, indicated that Nicole was the architect of her misfortune. The user said,
“She’s just a very sad, very lonely, very lost person. She can literally go home at any time. The problem is she has no home, figuratively. That’s why she’s really upset. She belongs nowhere, and she feels it.”
Many of the show’s fans have already written them off, but Nicole seems determined to see her marriage succeed. It would be interesting to see the outcome of Nicole and Mahmoud’s relationship as the season progresses.
