"Absolutely insufferable" — 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way fans call out Dempsey and Statler's incompatibility

90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way released its latest episode on Monday, September 16, 2024. It featured the ongoing disagreement between Dempsey Wilkinson and Statler Riley on the boat. While Statler tried to cope with her anxiety and seasickness triggered by being on the boat, Dempsey complained about feeling unheard.

Dempsey confronted her partner about her behavior and their relationship. She questioned their compatibility, wondering if they should even be together. She continued to target Statler with difficult questions about their companionship, unlike the previous episode where she let the latter tackle her anxiety in silence.

Feeling cornered, Statler wondered if Dempsey would break up with her in the middle of the ocean. Nonetheless, their argument continued without a positive outcome. 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way fans took to X to comment on their connection. While many claimed they were better off without each other, others criticized Dempsey's overbearing behavior in the latest episode.

"I have an idea for TLC: how about we, the viewers, break up with both Statler & Dempsey, just because they are absolutely insufferable and none of us wants to watch these two descend into more and more misery," a fan wrote.

"I’ve never seen two people so not right for each other than Statler and Dempsey," another fan commented.

"Statler and Dempsey are like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole," one netizen tweeted.

Many 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way fans disapproved of Dempsey's treatment of Statler in the latest episode. They hoped she gave her the space to cope with her anxiety before questioning her about their relationship.

"Yeah, Dempsey needs to chill a bit. They are incompatible, but Stratler is literally begging her to table the conversation and she refuses," one user reacted.

"Dempsey has some serious issues! How could she not see that all she had to do was SHUT THE F**K UP on the ferry whilst Statler dealt with her fear. Like how is she trying to have a full blown, deep convo in this environment when Statler is on edge?" a person commented.

"Statler needs a t-shirt that says "When I'm anxious is when NOT to talk". Dempsey is missing the importance of timing. Communication is key ... except during a panic attack," another fan wrote.

Meanwhile, the 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way fans continued to call out the cast members' incompatibility.

"Statler and Dempsey were never compatible with each other in the first place!!" one person reacted.

"Statler and Dempsey's relationship seems stressful and annoying," another netizen tweeted.

"Statler and Dempsey are just so different," a user commented.

"Hitting a brick wall" — 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way star Dempsey comments on her relationship with Statler

Statler claimed that Dempsey thought her anxiety would be cured because they were having a "nice moment" on a boat. She confessed her mental health had been a "major problem" in her past relationships. However, she hoped it would be different with Dempsey since "she knew that going into this."

Meanwhile, Dempsey complained about the poor communication between the two.

"She didn't tell me she was anxious. She just said she was scared to get on a boat. I just feel like I was hitting a brick wall constantly and it was starting to affect my mood. So, I just had to leave," Dempsey said.

The 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way cast member added that prioritizing Statler's preferences over hers was "taking a toll" on her. She realized she could not be "comfortable next to misery," and started reconsidering her relationship with Statler.

When Dempsey questioned Statler's "rude" behavior, the latter explained she became "irritable" or "snappy" when anxious. She added that her anxiety did not come from a "logical place." Despite that, her 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way partner failed to overlook her behavior.

Dempsey mentioned that Statler's demeanor affected her happiness and she felt frustrated by not being able to share her excitement with her partner. Statler requested they have the conversation on land, but Dempsey disagreed.

"Maybe we just don't really, just get each other. Period, full stop," Dempsey said.

The 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way star continued talking about it, despite Statler's pleas. During a confessional, Statler confessed Dempsey's remarks added to her insecurities about her anxiety. Ultimately, Statler shut her ears, desperate to block Dempsey's words from affecting her.
