90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5 premiered on TLC on Monday, July 10, at 8 pm ET. The episode introduced Brandan and Mary to fans and they had a lot to say about their relationship style. Mary is currently in the Philippines, while Brandan is in America, so the two are on call all the time, even while using the bathroom or sleeping.
Mary does not allow Brandan to talk to any female, like a receptionist or even his own sister. She was also seen making a whole scene at the dentist's office when Brandan mentioned that Mary was not his "first love."
Mary's ex cheated on her in the past multiple times so she is concerned that Brandan might do the same. She also does not allow him to visit his mother's house, as she has other female roommates.
Brandan is tired of this jealousy and hopes that things will get better when he meets Mary in person. On the other hand, Mary lied to Brandan in the episode so that she could visit her childhood friends, who were all male. She revealed that Brandan too was very jealous and did not trust her, as he had also been cheated on in the past.
Mary had to quit modeling and dancing due to Brandan's jealousy. She therefore lost her college scholarship and now sits home doing nothing.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way fans were shocked by the way Brandan and Mary's relationship was going and felt that they had a lot of "jealousy and control issues."
