90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days: Joe and Magda’s tense conversation
Joe and Magda’s relationship has been marked by cultural differences and contrasting expectations. Joe, a self-described charming Italian Jersey boy, is smitten with Magda, who has gone all in on their relationship by quitting her job and preparing to move to the US. Despite their strong connection, trust has become a recurring issue for the couple.
During their conversation, Magda made it clear that honesty was non-negotiable.
“Right now, but I’m talking about the past. This is your last chance to tell me everything,” she urged.
Joe tried to reassure her, saying,
“You’re the only person I want to be with. And I want you to trust me.”
However, in a confessional, Joe admitted to withholding information about his friendship with his ex, Jill. Reflecting on the potential consequences, he wondered whether he should tell Magda about Jill. However, Joe was worried that she wouldn’t take the news well.
The tension escalated when Magda confessed her struggle to trust Joe fully. Emphasizing her commitment, she said,
“I love you. I really do. So, I’m honest with you all the time. I’m only yours for the beginning, for the first day.”
Joe responded,
“Well, I’m only yours now, forever. Promise?”
Magda cautiously accepted his words but later admitted in a confessional that rebuilding her trust would take time. Joe’s decision to keep his friendship with Jill a secret added a layer of complexity to their relationship.
“The more I think about it, I don’t feel it’s a huge deal that I dated Jill. It was like seven years ago. Jill is just a really good friend of mine. I don’t view her as an ex-girlfriend,” Joe rationalized.
Ultimately, he chose not to tell Magda, fearing it could jeopardize their future.
