Ashia and Maxwell’s storyline on 90 Day Fiance runs on faith. Ashia is a Pentecostal Prophetess-in-training from Alabama. She believes divine intervention brought them together.
That belief took Ashia to Nigeria to meet Maxwell’s family. It has not gone smoothly since she arrived.
90 Day Fiance: Maxwell Drops A Bombshell Question
In a recent episode, Maxwell and Ashia head out for a meal after a tense conversation in the car. That is where Maxwell asks the question fans did not see coming: does God actually want them to get married?
His rejected visa is a big part of this doubt. Maxwell reads the rejection as a possible sign that the marriage is not meant to happen. Ashia listens, and she is clearly caught off guard.
90 Day Fiance Ashia Wants To Know Why He’s Bringing This Up Now
Ashia pushes back on the timing of Maxwell’s doubts. She notes that he appeared confident in the relationship until she got to Nigeria.
That is a fair question to raise. It is one thing to have faith in a long-distance relationship. It’s a whole different story when that faith is tested during a family visit with everyone watching.
90 Day Fiance: What Maxwell Actually Wants
Maxwell makes his priorities clear. He wants peace, specifically peace between Ashia and his family. Right now, that peace does not exist.
He tells her clearly that harmony with his family might not happen. This worries him about their future together. Fans mostly support Maxwell, saying he just wants basic respect. They feel Ashia should stop trying to change him.
90 Day Fiance: The Bigger Pattern Fans Have Noticed
This is not the first tension point in the relationship. Fans on Reddit say that Ashia often presents her desires as God’s will. This makes it hard to disagree with her, as it feels like going against God.
That is a clever move if it works, but it puts Maxwell in an impossible spot. Fans saw that when Maxwell used the same tactic, Ashia shut it down right away. She has also pushed him to change his hairline and skin, all while resisting any criticism aimed at her.
90 Day Fiance: Meeting The Parents Did Not Go Well
Things escalated once Ashia arrived in Nigeria and met Maxwell’s parents. At their first dinner, Maxwell shared that Ashia had urged him to change his appearance. His parents did not take that news lightly.
They then spoke to Ashia’s mother directly. They raised concerns about her behavior and finances. Both seemed to clash with Nigerian values and traditions. Once they learned Ashia’s age, Maxwell’s mother made her position clear. She said she would not allow the relationship to continue.
90 Day Fiance: A Simple Request Ashia Ignored
Maxwell tried to smooth things over by walking Ashia through his country’s customs. He asked her to greet his parents with “Sir” or “Madam.” He explained that this is common at home.
At breakfast, Ashia skipped that entirely and greeted his parents casually instead. That did not go over well with his parents, and it left Maxwell visibly frustrated.
Disregarding a clear request while visiting someone’s home and country is tough to undo. It is no surprise fans reacted the way they did.
90 Day Fiance: Fans Call Ashia A Red Flag
The backlash online has been intense. Fans say Ashia treats Maxwell like a project. They feel she’s disrespecting his family in their own home and country. Some call her a red flag. Others think she might have deeper issues. However, that’s just speculation from viewers and not confirmed on the show.
Whatever is really going on, one thing is clear. The trip to Nigeria was meant to bring Ashia and Maxwell closer, but it has instead put their relationship on shaky ground.
