Kimberly and TJ get into another screaming match in the finale of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5
In the season finale of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5, Kimberly tried talking to TJ about the issues she was facing, however, the conversation quickly turned into a disagreement and eventually a shouting match.
Kimberly tried talking to the 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way cast member about feeling lonely. TJ's response was nothing if not a little invalidating, as he told her that he didn't know what she wanted him to do since he couldn't leave his job. Kim told him that she didn't have the option of leaving the house without him since she didn't understand Hindi and noted that she was starting to feel a little depressed.
Her husband explained to her that it was "a common problem," but Kim told him there was nothing common or normal about feeling depressed right after getting married. The 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5 cast member further told TJ that she also didn't like that every time they get into a fight, he refuses to talk to her and spends time with his family instead.
TJ reasoned behind his behavior and told her that he did that so the fight wouldn't escalate to the point where they didn't want to see each other's faces. Kimberly further told him that the problem was that she didn't have a relationship with his family. Once she brought his family in, all bets were off, as TJ even went on to call her "crazy."
Eventually, TJ stormed off after Kimberly started screaming at the top of her lungs and crying. He told his mother that she was making it too difficult, and his mother advised him to send his wife back to America.
