What happened between Tata and James in the latest episode of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way?
James and Tata hit a rough patch in their relationship as they struggled to manage their finances. The male cast member hoped they would return to the US to resume their jewelry business since it had a better market compared to Indonesia. However, Tata was not too pleased with his proposal.
James reminded her that they needed to earn to pay for their wedding and since he could not get a job without knowing the language, the future seemed uncertain. Then, Tata revealed that she was a data scientist and had been applying for jobs in Indonesia. However, the offers were in Jakarta, where she could not afford to live.
"My salary won't be enough to live there. Especially when James is not working either," Tata said.
James worried that Tata's family would "resent" him and see him as a "failure" if he could not get a job. The 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way star suggested they return to the US since their savings were low and he could do nothing. Unfortunately, Tata refused, saying she missed her family and did not want to leave them again.
Tata broke down, recalling how difficult their lives were in the US, especially with her illness.
"The doctor don't even know what happened to me. And now it's like helping here," Tata said.
The 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way star disliked how she had to stay home in the US and James spent his days working. She surprised James when she suggested him to leave, while she remained in Indonesia.
While speaking to the cameras, Tata expressed anger over James' offer. She wondered why he could not adjust in Indonesia when she stayed in the US for three years.
