Josh Atkins signed up for a monogamous marriage. Catie Norboe has made it clear that is not necessarily what she wants. That gap has now become impossible to ignore on 90 Day Fiancé, and a new sneak peek from tell-all part two shows exactly how it’s playing out behind the scenes.
Before their wedding, Catie asked Josh to consider an open marriage, telling him she didn’t want to close off future experiences and craved what she called the thrill of the chase. According to Swooon, Josh’s answer was immediate. “We are not in an open relationship. It’s not what I’ve signed up for,” he told her, calling the request a dealbreaker. He married her anyway, fully aware of the disagreement between them.
That decision is now catching up with him. In a sneak peek of tell-all part two, cameras caught the group at a pre-party bar before filming. According to TV Shows Room, Catie went straight for tequila upon arrival, with castmates Shea and Edward cheering her on. Josh looked visibly unimpressed and later admitted that whenever the two of them go out, he feels like her babysitter. Catie was clinging to her friend Ryan, eager to start another makeout session. She didn’t notice how it looked from Josh’s side of the room. She later slurred that Josh was horrible and stormed off, saying she didn’t want to be there.
The tension traces back to the tell-all’s first part, where Catie admitted she no longer enjoys being with Josh and thinks she would be better off alone. She told him directly that she can do whatever she wants and does not have to answer to him.
A Pattern Fans Can’t Look Away From
What makes this hard to watch is not just Catie’s behavior, it’s Josh’s response to it. He knew about the big mismatch before the wedding. He has often expressed his discomfort with her actions. Still, he keeps defending her instead of walking away. That is not really a mystery about Catie at this point. It’s a pattern showing what Josh will tolerate.
