TLC ’90 Day FiancĂ©: The Other Way’ spoilers finds that the first thought is that Yazan Abo Horira is so freaking patronizing. He keeps talking down to Brittany Banks and telling her she’s a baby after blatantly disrespecting her. She said she would respect his culture around his people, but that around her people he would have to respect her culture and her way of doing things. That is a completely fair expectation. However, Yazan really thought he could get by with patronizing a woman out of her rights.
When he took Brittany to meet his parents the situation went further south. The thing is, both Yazan and his parents want someone who Brittany is not. They want a completely conservative muslim girl when Brittany did not grow up in that culture so she has no idea how to behave.
She’s trying, but she’s screwing it up. However I think it’s actually Yazan’s Mother who is the one that’s pulling all the strings. She completely flipped way the hell out on Brittany when Brittany said that she didn’t want to get married right away.
Yazan’s Mother said that she was disrespecting Yazan and their culture, went so far as to yell at Brittany “Where’s our respect?!” when Brittany didn’t even understand what she was saying. You know, it’d be nice if there were a translator in the house besides Yazan, just saying.
TLC ’90 Day FiancĂ©: The Other Way’ Spoilers: Run, Brittany, Run!
Yazan’s parents want Brittany to be completely off of social media and to come and just be their daughter-in-law and have a million kids and just be content with that, no adjustment period, no slowly learning the tenets of conservative Islam, no they just want to plunge her in the deep end with no education and no training.
Yazan’s Dad asked if she had been reading up on Islam while she was in the US and Brittany said no, she hadn’t. She didn’t think she needed to because she didn’t think that her relationship was going to be a family affair.
Obviously, I think Yazan was not fair to her in the first place because he didn’t bother explaining just what getting into a relationship with him was going to be like in the first place. He should have sat her down and told her all about his family, he should have told her that his family is really involved and there is no way that they could actually get married and be together because his family wants a different girl than what she is.
Yazan should have ordered a mail-order bride out of a catalog (I’m sure they have them in Jordan) and been done with it because that’s clearly what he thought he was getting. He didn’t take into account that Brittany has literally never focused this much on religion a day in her life and she wasn’t prepared to have to literally get a master’s in islamic studies before meeting his parents. This is a failure on Yazan’s part because he was too, I don’t know, distracted by the sexy!
