Ariela and Biniyam are at a crossroads in their relationship, and 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way fans are split on which person to blame for this drama.
On 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, Ariela Weinberg and Biniyam Shibre’s relationship is in shambles, and viewers are split on which one is at fault. There are many fans who point to Ariela as the source of the couple’s troubles, but there are just as many who see Biniyam as the problematic partner in their relationship. Ariela and Biniyam are a unique couple because there’s so little gray area when it comes to who is in the wrong. As a result, it has left viewers divided and taking sides.
To say Biniyam and Ariela are going through a rough patch on The Other Way is putting it mildly. Their relationship has undergone many tests, and it recently came to a head after Ariela returned from the US. Ariela demanded that she and Biniyam meet on neutral ground in Kenya to address the major issues between them. Overall, Ariela accused Biniyam of partying and entertaining other women in their home. She also accused him of turning his phone off while she was in the US for their son Avi’s surgery. Biniyam responded that he wouldn’t do those things if Ariela wasn’t so mean to him. Tearfully, Ariela explained to Biniyam that she wanted to start fresh or break up, though she assured him that she did not want to keep Avi from his father.
The couple’s confrontation had fans arguing back and forth about who was right and who was wrong, and there were several viewers who walked away from the episode taking Biniyam’s side. The Biniyam supporters note that the Ethiopian cast member experienced a lot of trauma from his last relationship after his ex took their son back to the US and broke off contact with him. It’s understandable that Biniyam would be worried about Ariela’s intentions, especially after the weird visit with her ex-husband Leandro at the beginning of the season and the way she surprised him with the news that she would be bringing Avi to the US for his surgery.
However, there are also many fans who say Biniyam’s behavior when Ariela wasn’t around was unacceptable. Though they acknowledge Biniyam’s difficult past, a lot of viewers think he plays the victim when it’s convenient to him. It’s true that Biniyam’s non-stop partying is disrespectful towards his family. With Ariela and Avi so far away, and with his son’s health in the balance, it’s shocking that the reality star would turn his phone off, and some viewers think that makes Biniyam a neglectful parent and partner. Ariela was obviously very emotional when talking to Biniyam about the state of their relationship, but Biniyam remained quite stoic, which made 90 Day Fiancé fans even more upset with him.
As a couple, 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way stars Ariela and Biniyam get a lot of criticism, and many viewers have taken sides. Both of them have made mistakes in their relationship, and each of them has things to work on. At this moment, the couple appears to be at a crossroad, and unless they can admit to their individual shortcomings and meet each other halfway, things may not work out between Ariela and Biniyam, and fans will likely continue to back one or the other. Probably not both.
