90 Day Fiancé: Love in Paradise fans took to social media to chime in on their relationship and a majority felt that Alliya and Shawn's relationship would soon come to an end.
"90DayFiance #LoveInParadise Shawn doesn't need to adapt to Alliya's new personality, and Alliya doesn't need to adapt to Shawn wanting Douglas's personality back. They have grown apart, plain and simple. Nostalgia is keeping them together but that won't last - sadly this is over," one person said.
"Shawn said he doesn’t want to be with a woman he was already married to one. He’s trying to force himself into making this ridiculousness work. Cut your losses and go find a man. This will never work. #90dayfiance #90dayfianceloveinparadise," another person said.
"I think it’s time for Shawn & Alliyah to end the relationship. Shawn wants Douglas & Alliyah wants to bury Douglas & live in her truth…#90DayFianceloveinparadise #90DayFiance," a fan wrote.

Shawn unsure about his future with Alliya in 90 Day Fiancé: Love in Paradise season 4
In 90 Day Fiancé: Love in Paradise season 4 episode 3, Shawn went through Alliya's Adventure book, which consisted of the TLC couple's memories together. The book's first page mentioned Douglas and had pictures of Shawn and Douglas together.
The season 4 cast member said that he was glad that his girlfriend was happier as Alliya than she was as Douglas but noted that he didn't think she understood what Shawn was going through. He told the cameras that when you're in love with someone, there wasn't a switch that you can turn off.
Shawn further said that he had to process how to "let go." He added that he wanted to talk to Alliya about what was going on with him since there was an "elephant in the room" that needed to be addressed. While wiping away tears, the male cast member noted that he wasn't sure if Douglas won't get ripped out of the adventure book.
Shawn told the cameras that he hoped Alliya could put herself in Shawn's shoes and be patient with him.
90 Day Fiancé: Love in Paradise season 4 will return next week with a brand new episode on TLC.
