Riley and Violet are still together<\/a> after everything.<\/p>\nSo many factors led the two of them to block each other. One issue was Riley\u2019s behavior being \u201crude in Vietnam.\u201d He didn\u2019t bring Violet\u2019s mom a gift, remember?<\/p>\n
It turns out that Riley asked Violet about that, even though she told the camera that he had not. She totally hung him out to dry.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>Violet arrives home and tells her lovely daughters that Riley is there to visit them. This was their first time meeting him, and he was taller than they had expected. (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nEarlier this season, we watched Violet introduce Riley to her family for the first time.<\/p>\n
They had spoken on the phone, sure. And Riley had sent some gifts before.<\/p>\n
Her daughters expressed delight to meet him. And Tuyet in particular marveled at how Riley was so much taller than she had guessed. Phones don\u2019t tell you everything.<\/p>\nRiley came with gifts for Riley\u2019s daughters. He had previously expressed his desire to \u201cspoil\u201d them. However, he did not have any gifts for Violet\u2019s mom. (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhen he visited, Riley came bearing gifts for both young women.<\/p>\n
That is no surprise, as Riley had previously confessed to the camera that he looked forward to \u201cspoiling\u201d both of them. If, of course, things work out with Violet.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the thing. He didn\u2019t have a present for Violet\u2019s mother, and this wasn\u2019t just a snub. According to her, he basically shot his chances with Violet in the foot.<\/p>\nViolet\u2019s mother expressed her displeasure and disappointment at not receiving a customary gift from Riley. (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThere was, she explained, a cultural expectation in Vietnam. And Riley had not met it \u2014 which soured her opinion of him.<\/p>\n
(90 Day<\/em> viewers are well aware that many cultures almost seem like pyramid schemes. We see people expecting young people to \u201cpay it forward\u201d to their elders on the promise that they will one day receive the same treatment from younger generations. Some of those cultures are in America, too)<\/p>\nGiven that Violet\u2019s mom already felt that Riley was too jealous and controlling, he did not do himself any favors.<\/p>\nViolet might be able to do more to help Riley navigate life as an American visiting Vietnam. If she chose to. (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nCould Violet have advised Riley to bring a gift to appease her mother? Yes.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s her cultural tradition, not his. And even if she weren\u2019t his local point of contact, presumably she wants him to make a good impression on her mom. Right?<\/p>\n
However, Violet explained to the camera that she didn\u2019t feel responsible. Riley, she argued, could look these things up.<\/p>\nAccording to Violet, Riley\u2019s behavior is \u201crude in Vietnam.\u201d Some forms of rudeness are nearly universal among cultures, but others \u2014 even the manner in which someone laughs, or whether one accepts or declines a gift \u2014 vary widely. (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nShe didn\u2019t make that argument to him, however. Only to the camera.<\/p>\n
Instead, she just spoke to him about how some of his behavior was \u201crude in Vietnam.\u201d<\/p>\n
Riley, meanwhile, explained how some of her culturally appropriate negging was very hurtful \u2014 especially to him, as a Black man. There are a lot of cultural nuances and cues at play.<\/p>\nIn a now-deleted comment, 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days Season 6 star Violet apologized to Riley for throwing him under the bus on camera. She had told him to not worry about a gift for her mom. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nA twist! In an (alleged) comment on Instagram, one that she has since deleted, Violet left a comment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see people [are attacking] you and I am sorry,\u201d she began. <\/p>\n
Violet confessed: \u201cI should have admitted that you [asked] what [to buy for my mother] and I [told] you you don\u2019t need [to].\u201d<\/p>\nShortly after meeting in person, Riley and Violet snuggled on a car ride while leaving the airport. (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cI was embarrassed [on] camera,\u201d Violet expressed. <\/p>\n
Too embarrassed to admit that it was \u201cmy fault, so I blame you.\u201d<\/p>\n
She concluded: \u201cI am sorry I create pain for you on social media.\u201d<\/p>\nRiley admitted his surprise when he received a tour guide\u2019s blunt explanation of cultural nuances at play. (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHonestly, both Riley and Violet are very proud, stubborn people. Those are not inherently negative traits.<\/p>\n
But they both seem to be shooting themselves in the foot, sabotaging their own happiness. Not to mention each other\u2019s.<\/p>\n
They are, simply put, extremely similar people. It feels like, if they marry, they\u2019ll either be together for 6 months or 60 years. The key will be aligning their stubbornness<\/em>. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nSource link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After all of the drama that has unfolded on 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days Season 6, fans have questions.
