Love and Baggage: Can Shekinah Trust Sarper on 90 Day Fiancé?

Sparks fly, then doubts cloud the horizon—that’s the current state of affairs for Shekinah and Sarper on the latest season of TLC’s “90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way.” Shekinah, a determined aesthetician from the US, relocates to Turkey to be with her fiancé, Sarper, a personal trainer with a past that raises eyebrows (and questions about trust).

Love After the Breakup

Shekinah and Sarper aren’t new to the “90 Day Fiancé” world. They previously appeared on the show, but their journey ended with Shekinah returning to the States heartbroken. This season, they’re back, determined to make it work.

A Shadow of the Past

However, a significant obstacle looms large: Sarper’s past romantic exploits. He readily admits to a staggering number of past relationships, claiming to have slept with nearly 3,000 women, or an astonishing “4 and a half women a day.” While Sarper insists his playboy days are over, Shekinah is understandably hesitant.

Trust Issues Take Center Stage

Shekinah struggles with trust issues stemming from Sarper’s past. She feels the need for constant reassurance, which frustrates Sarper. He questions her “possessiveness” and claims to have changed significantly for her.

Financial Strain and Shifting Priorities

Adding another layer of complexity is the impact of Shekinah’s arrival on Sarper’s finances. Shekinah, accustomed to a certain lifestyle, expects him to maintain it. This creates tension, as Sarper claims his income has decreased considerably since meeting her, a shift he attributes to the changes he’s made to prioritize their relationship.

Will Love Conquer All (or at Least Some of It)?

Can Shekinah overcome her trust issues and embrace Sarper’s reformed ways? Will Sarper continue to prove his commitment while navigating the financial strain? These are the questions that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats throughout the season.

A Look Ahead: Forgiveness, Communication, and a Chance at Love

Despite the challenges, there’s still a spark between Shekinah and Sarper. Whether they can build a future together hinges on open communication, a commitment to understanding each other’s needs, and perhaps a healthy dose of forgiveness. Will their love story become a testament to overcoming the baggage of the past, or will it crumble under the weight of trust issues and financial pressures? Only time and a lot of couples therapy (TLC style) will tell
