Below is what happened on Episode 10 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days’ seventh season on TLC.
NILES and MATILDA
Matilda was so mad Niles didn’t want to get married, but she realized there was probably a communication issue due to his autism.
Matilda therefore decided to forgive him and move forward with their relationship, but she was going to have to break the bad news to her family — and she acknowledged that they weren’t going to be happy.
Matilda explained that after a man asks a woman’s family for their blessing to propose marriage, a wedding is supposed to happen soon afterward. Matilda worried, as a result, that her loved ones were no longer going to accept Niles as her future husband.
Matilda then flew in an airplane for the first time to Kumasi, Ghana, where they booked themselves into a hotel for their stay.
Niles wasn’t sure if he had “already blown it” with Maltida, but he admitted, “It would be no one else’s fault but my own.”
Matilda told Niles that she wasn’t going to deal with any lies from him again.
Niles claimed he had never promised marriage when speaking to Matilda’s mother before, but Matilda told Niles not to say anything of the sort because then her family would call him “a liar.”
When Niles met Matilda’s family, Niles explained that he wanted to do the knocking ceremony that day but marry Matilda later on during his next trip to Ghana.
Matilda’s family didn’t accept that request because they wanted the wedding to immediately follow their knocking tradition.
Matilda’s family gave Niles two or three months after the knocking ceremony to get married, but Niles wasn’t sure if he could fulfill their wishes. Niles didn’t want to anger Matilda’s loved ones, nor did he want them to “curse” him.
Niles promised his heart to Matilda and insisted that he wanted to be with her forever, but he didn’t promise them any specific timeline. Niles said he’d figure things out as soon as he can for the wedding, and so the family decided to believe him and support their relationship with prayers.

In the end, Niles was granted more time, and this pleased Matilda. Niles hoped to make enough money to complete the marriage process and make everyone happy.
“Niles can’t afford any missteps [going forward],” Matilda told the 90 Day Fiance cameras.
VANJA and BOZO
Vanja woke up feeling better after her first night with Bozo, who had told everyone at a baking class that they were “just friends.” Vanja didn’t like hearing that because she was obviously taking their relationship very seriously.
Bozo, for his part, told 90 Day Fiance cameras that he and Vanja weren’t on the same page.
Bozo wanted to take his romance with Vanja “step by step” and get to know her better in order to build on the chemistry they already had, but Vanja was ready to commit immediately.
Bozo and Vanja did some sightseeing in Croatia, and when the discussion of meeting Bozo’s family came up, Bozo reiterated how he’d love to introduce her to some of his family but just in a friendly way because he felt like she was just his friend.
Hearing that again made Vanja break down into tears. Vanja said she had put her life in the U.S. on the line in order to be with him, and so she said they were definitely more than pals in her eyes.
Vanja asked Bozo if he was feeling chemistry with her already, and he confessed, “I don’t feel it right now.”
Bozo told the cameras that he felt “sorry” for having given Vanja the impression that they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Bozo said he was “in awe” with Vanja but he just wasn’t feeling chemistry with her.
“I hope the feelings with come with time,” Bozo said in a confessional.
Bozo apologized to Vanja for confusing her. Vanja said she didn’t want to “force it” with Bozo, but at the same time, she wanted him to try to move in a romantic direction and progress their relationship.
Bozo promised he’d be open about his feelings to prevent further confusion, but Vanja couldn’t believe that Bozo wasn’t attracted to her. Vanja was willing to give Bozo more time and be hands off, but she was clearly disappointed about the turn of events.
VEAH and SUNNY
Veah said she was feeling lonely, sad and heartbroken after not hearing from Sunny at all.
Veah wanted to talk to Sunny about the previous night, when Sunny had stumbled upon a picture of Veah and Rory together on the airplane, but Sunny asked her to leave him alone.
Veah told Sunny that she had realized some things and so she wanted to talk about her discoveries in person.
But Sunny responded, “I don’t want to do anything with you. You are heartless. You don’t give a damn about nobody’s feelings.”
Veah wanted to explain that her ex-boyfriend Rory had traveled with her because she didn’t feel safe or comfortable traveling alone, but Sunny apparently didn’t want to hear it.
Veah told the cameras that she had grown up not being able to show her emotions and so Sunny didn’t understand how truly upset she was about him not wanting to see her again. Veah claimed she was devastated and felt very “anxious” about being alone.
Veah therefore asked Rory to meet her at a shopping plaza because she didn’t want to be miserable sitting in a hotel room alone for the rest of the day.
Rory thought his presence was a ridiculous reason for Sunny to end his relationship with Veah, and so he advised his ex to make moves and fix it. Rory advised Veah to open up like never before and show Sunny how much she cared about him.
“If they are right for each other, she can make it right,” Rory explained in a confessional.

Sunny eventually agreed to meet with Veah and talk to her.
Veah explained how she was afraid to travel and simply felt better with a man accompanying her. Veah said she was afraid to tell Sunny sooner about her travel companion because so many people had abandoned her in her life and she had trust issues.
Veah didn’t want Sunny to leave her.
Veah opened up to Sunny about how she and Rory had no romantic feelings for each other. Veah shared how she was pregnant with Rory’s child when her brother had passed away and then they lost the baby as well.
Veah told Sunny the loss of a child is why she and Rory were able to remain close without having a romantic connection. They had gotten through a dark time together, and this news really shocked Sunny.
“It’s making me better understand [Veah] a little bit more. I wished she opened up more about this before, but I’m not angry about it because I know it’s a sensitive conversation for her,” Sunny told the cameras.
Sunny asked Veah to trust and confide in him going forward, and Veah apologized again. Sunny decided to accept Veah and Rory’s friendship, but he acknowledged how it was hard to not be insecure about it.
“I feel like it’s a huge competition for me because she [and Rory] have too much bonding. Am I going to be enough for her? That’s what makes me scared,” Sunny shared in a confessional.
RAYNE and CHIDI
Rayne had not seen Chidi since she stormed out of his sister’s house, but Chidi asked her to meet him at the beach. Rayne hoped that he was ready to move forward with her.
“Every time I see his smile, I can’t help but melt a little bit,” Rayne gushed of her man.
But Chidi admitted to the cameras that he wanted to end his relationship with Rayne. Chidi hated the idea of hurting someone he loved so much, but he didn’t think a future looked bright with her.
When Chidi and Rayne reunited at the beach, they both realized how much they loved each other. Chidi suddenly became open-minded and positive about a potential life with Rayne.
Rayne explained to Chidi how she didn’t want to stay in someone’s house when they weren’t on good terms and her time with him was almost halfway over. Chidi wished Rayne and his sister could get along and be friendly, but Rayne pointed out how that wasn’t going to happen.
When Chidi tried to comfort Rayne, she threw his hands away and snapped, “Touch yourself. That’s what you’re used to.”
When a producer asked Rayne if she had overreacted about Chidi’s sister, she replied, “I never overreact.”
But Rayne was angry and kept interrupting Chidi as he spoke. Chidi found her behavior startling and “baffling.” He thought she was pushing his love away by being “rash and hostile.”
Chidi told Rayne that if she wanted people to love and respect her, then she needed to learn how to love and respect others.
Chidi tried to make it seem like Rayne was the problem and the reason why her past relationships didn’t work out, which made Rayne flip out.
Rayne asked Chidi if he was done with her, and then she ranted about how he was messing with the wrong person after everything she had gone through with toxic ex-boyfriends. Rayne’s exes had apparently left her for drugs and mistreated her.
Rayne accused Chidi of wanting a visa so he could move to America, but Chidi insisted that wasn’t his intention at all and he didn’t need to move to the United States. Chidi was shocked that Rayne was throwing that in his face.
Chidi told Rayne that he had to “move on” because she wasn’t being gentle or kind to him. She was very combative, and Chidi pointed out how that’s what their conversations were always like.
“It’s always about Rayne… and so our relationship is over. We cannot make it together,” Chidi concluded, before wishing Rayne the best in her life.
“Whatever helps you feel like a man,” Rayne countered.
Rayne said this was the “worst heartbreak” she’s ever had in her life and she was “devastated” as well as “pissed and sad.” She questioned how someone could be so hurtful, and she realized it was “over forever.”
TIGERLILY and ADNAN
Tigerlily was still upset about the shirtless photo Adnan had posted on social media when she wasn’t even allowed to have male doctors.
But when the pair reunited in a hotel room, Adnan surprised Tigerlily with a red rose and a room filled with candles.
The candles formed the word “Love” along with a heart on the floor, and Adnan gushed, “I can’t wait to make a baby and do things in the bedroom with my wife.”
Seeing this beautiful display made Tigerlily’s anger drift away.
Tigerlily was surprised that Adnan was acting like everything was fine, but Adnan said he had deleted the sexy mirror selfie that had rubbed Tigerlily the wrong way.
Tigerlily asked Adnan how he’d feel if she posted a shirtless selfie online, and he admitted that he’d “kill” her for doing that.
Tigerlily didn’t appreciate feeling controlled and there being a double standard with her husband, but Adnan felt like he didn’t have to follow the rules since he was a man.
Tigerlily told Adnan that if he wanted her to change, then he’d have to change as well.
Adnan said Tigerlily was not being respectful to him, and he couldn’t believe she was picking a fight with him after his big grand gesture for her.
“I am done,” Adnan said, before walking out of the hotel room.
Later on, the couple attempted to talk things out, and Adnan apologized for his racy picture again. Adnan wanted Tigerlily to abide by his religion and customs, but they didn’t come to an agreement.
Tigerlily said there were a lot of issues they still needed to work out, but Adnan just wanted to focus on making love.
