Marissa Rubinetti’s doubts about marrying Edward Miguel Gomez finally forced a confrontation neither of them could avoid. In a sneak peek for the upcoming 90 Day Fiance episode, Marissa admits she is not sure marriage is the right move. Edward has heard enough uncertainty.
He tells her he cannot continue like this and asks her to decide right then. When Marissa asks for more time, his answer is final: he cannot give her any more.
That is a reasonable line to draw. Edward left his home country to build a life with Marissa. Watching a wedding date approach while his fiancée keeps reopening the same doubt is not a sustainable place to leave him.
What Marissa Actually Told Him
Marissa laid out her feelings honestly, telling Edward she is not as “affectionate” as he is and that he should stop expecting that from her.
“I just feel like our relationship has a completely different dynamic. I feel like the way that I was with you when I come to visit you in your country, it’s not the same,” she said. She also told him they have grown quiet with each other and have little left to talk about.
Edward rejected that framing outright. “This is not the point. This is not the point. I give you exactly what you need, exactly what you want, and you complain because I give you what you want.”
Marissa pushed back, arguing that when he agreed to give her space, he should have pushed back harder when she didn’t reach out. “I’m not okay with everything in my life right now, but you still want me to hug you and kiss you,” she said. “Right now I feel really anxious about it and I feel very unsure. Everything in our relationship has changed, you know? Like, I’m starting to question things, like, are we even compatible?”
Marissa also named the pressure she felt sitting underneath the entire decision, one tied directly to Edward’s visa timeline rather than just her own feelings. “I don’t wanna just sign a paper, do a whole freaking party for everybody, just because, like, you know, if I don’t do it, then you have to go back to your country. So what the hell am I supposed to do? Like, I don’t want you to be subjected to somebody who’s not 100% that they wanna be married,” she said.
That framing complicates how to read her hesitation. Marissa is not just weighing her own doubts. She is trying to avoid making a decision under visa pressure that she believes would be unfair to Edward specifically, which is a different problem than simply not being sure she wants him.
In her confessional, Marissa offered her clearest explanation yet for why she couldn’t just move forward on faith. “I think that this is one of those instances where Edward’s positivity shields him from the reality of things, where he is so confident that the love that we have is so strong that nothing is gonna break us down, and we’re in a situation right now where I’m not sure if love is enough.”
The Line That Set Him Off
Edward asked her to elaborate, and Marissa did not soften it.
“At this point, like, I’m questioning, like, our compatibility and if we are even the right fit to get married,” she told him.
His confessional captured exactly how that landed. “Disappointed. I can’t believe that you have the b**ls to say that to me. I can’t believe that.”
That reaction makes sense given the timeline. This is not an early-relationship doubt. It is a fiancé, weeks from a wedding, hearing that the person he uprooted his life for is not sure they are compatible.
The Clock Edward Kept Bringing Up
Edward felt frustrated. They were halfway through their 90 days together. He had spent 45 days dealing with Marissa’s uncertainty. Yet, nothing had been resolved.
“At this point, we need to know if we move forward or not. I’m sorry, but I need that answer, and I need an answer right now,” he told her.
When Marissa asked for more time rather than a definitive yes, Edward pointed out they had already had two years to reach this point, not just the 45 days in the house together. “We have two years to think about this. And we always say, no matter what happen, we’re gonna fight to be together. Right now, if you don’t give me an answer yes or no, to be honest with you, I don’t feel hundred percent that I can continue like this.”
His confessional made the stakes explicit. “I think you’re confused that because I’m in love with her, I’m gonna stay in a relationship with someone that not hundred percent. You need to both hundred percent sure or no. I’m gonna go back to my country. I can’t like this, honestly.”
The Fight Didn’t End That Night
The tension carried into the next day. Marissa asked Edward what had come over him the day before, referring to the ultimatum itself, and it became clear neither of them had actually moved past it.
“We still struggle with the conversation that we have yesterday. I’m not okay to be in a relationship with someone that don’t be 100%,” Edward told her, restarting the same disagreement rather than resolving it.
A preview for the next episode shows the pattern continuing, with Marissa at one point telling Edward to keep his voice down. With 44 days left before their wedding, one hard conversation did not settle anything. It just opened the door to the next one.
Fans Are Firmly Team Edward
The response online has not been kind to Marissa. Several viewers framed the imbalance in the relationship through a gendered lens, with one fan on X writing, “He love her, she is an opportunity also! But, she is emasculated him… and she doesn’t realize she’s doing it. She is doing to him what her husband did to her… if this was a 50 year old man with a 25 year old girl you all would think it’s ok!”
Another fan described Edward as Marissa’s “holiday fling,” writing, “No they aren’t compatible, he’s her holiday fling, poor guy gave up his life for this miserable insecure woman!”
Many viewers also accused Marissa of looking down on Edward. They questioned why she agreed to the relationship if she felt so unsure. Edward, meanwhile, has become one of the season’s clearer fan favorites, with viewers praising him for demanding a real answer instead of accepting indefinite uncertainty.
Whether Marissa gives him the answer he is asking for, or the couple’s wedding plans fall apart before they reach the altar, is what the rest of the season now has to resolve.
