Jersey Shore: Family Vacation: Jenni believes marriage and parenthood will not benefit Angelina and Vinny 2.0's relationship

In one of the segments of the episode, Angelina recalled that Vinny 2.0 had a different mindset when she first met him. He wanted children and marriage. However, years later, things changed for the worse.

"Here I am, almost 40, no kids. Everyone else has kids. I almost feel like, I'm like watching everyone else move on with their lives and I'm just sitting as everyone just passes me by," Angelina said.

The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star expressed that it was "upsetting" to watch Vinny 2.0 prioritize the gym over their relationship. Moreover, she felt concerned when she discovered Vinny 2.0 got verified on Instagram. Upon confronting him, she figured out that he had applied for it. Angelina believed Vinny 2.0 would have "dumped" her if she was not "Angelina from Jersey Shore."

When she tried to get Vinny 2.0's perspective, he told her he just wanted to have one normal day without hearing anything about marriage or kids. However, after Angelina insisted they discuss the matter, Vinny 2.0 lost calm and called her a "beast," criticizing her for complaining about his gym time.

While speaking to the cameras, Angelina stated she expected him to inform her about his whereabouts or plans. She added that his lack of communication and neglect made her feel unworthy of love.

Later in the Jersey: Family Vacation episode, Snooki and Jenni sat down with Angelina to check in on her. Jenni revealed that their argument was so loud, they could hear it from down the hallway. Meanwhile, Snooki wanted to know what went wrong between them.

"He was trying to say that he does not do anything wrong in the whole relationship... It's all my fault," Angelina said.

Jenni and Snooki were taken aback when they heard that Vinny 2.0 called Angelina a "beast." After understanding the state of their relationship, Jenni opined that neither marriage nor parenthood would benefit their dynamic. "With the amount of fights" and "toxicity" in the relationship, Jenni believed rushing into major decisions would be detrimental.

Later, Angelina disclosed that Vinny 2.0 got verified on Instagram without informing her. Snooki called his behavior "shady" and said:

"Like are you using me to try and get famous? It's not great."

Jenni and Snooki further noted that Angelina's excitement about the trip subsided after Vinny 2.0 arrived. The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star agreed and revealed that she might not love him anymore.
