Below is the latest on several 90 Day Fiance couples, according to the ninth episode of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s sixth season.
TIFFANY AND RONALD
During Tiffany's first day in South Africa, she said Ronald's apartment looked pretty good and had been put together well; however, he had nothing to eat in his refrigerator. Tiffany said Ronald had six eggs, a bottle of hot sauce and one beer in his apartment.Tiffany complained that Ronald had spent all of his money on building Ronald his own room instead of buying groceries to be able to feed his wife and children.
Ronald said he was going to do whatever it takes to make Tiffany and his family happy and comfortable in South Africa. He wanted to convince his family to stay in his native country.
Tiffany freaked out a little bit in the deli area because the store sold cow tongues and chicken feet. She admitted the food was "weird" and Ronald was picking out what appeared to be "jail food," like pink bologna called "pologna."
Tiffany wanted to feed her kids healthy food.

Ronald told the cameras it made him feel like "crap" to hear Daniel talk about how many days he was going to be in South Africa because he wanted his loved ones to stay permanently.
Ronald acknowledged it felt right to have his kids with him and he didn't want to think about them leaving already.

But Ronald ended up being $50 short when it came to the grocery bill $250 grocery bill, and Tiffany seemed frustrated and upset to have to step in once again.
"I know I can't expect the world from Ronald, but I do expect more from him. I expect for him to be financially responsible," Tiffany noted in a confessional, adding that she needed Ronald to prove himself before bringing him to the United States.
Tiffany said she was trying really hard to be patient with Ronald but she was exhausted and wanted to take a break after traveling to South Africa.
Ronald grabbed a lot of meat and Tiffany said her husband didn't budget properly. Ronald said it seemed like Tiffany was looking for every reason to complain, but she wanted Ronald to put the groceries away and watch his daughter Carley at the same time, just like she always does.
Ronald gave Carley a plastic bag to play with, which made Tiffany even more angry. As Carley cried, Ronald mopped the kitchen floor and said he was busy. Tiffany said she expected her husband to help her whenever she asked and she didn't want to wait.

Ronald suggested it was Tiffany's job to change Carley's poop diapers and not his job. Tiffany said she was so stressed out and Ronald wasn't assisting her with things she needed.
"This is really annoying and upsetting, the way that you're acting," Tiffany told her husband before breaking down into tears.
"You have to do things and give me a break! You literally are doing nothing. At home, I do everything -- cook and clean while running after Carley and making sure Daniel is doing his school."
Ronald didn't think it was fair for Tiffany to say he wasn't willing to help, especially because he was in the hands-on father role for the first time in a long time.
Tiffany threatened Ronald by saying if he didn't make her stay easy and enjoyable, she'd be taking the kids back to America for the Christmas holiday.

Ronald felt Tiffany was dangling a carrot in front of his face like he's a donkey and said Tiffany's words really hurt his heart.
The couple eventually got over their fight and Ronald told Tiffany that he'd give her whatever she needed from him.
ELIZABETH AND ANDREI
Andrei asked Elizabeth's sister Becky to exit the RV so they could talk in private for a moment. Andrei just wanted the family to get to Maryland in one piece, but Becky explained she was upset after listening to Andrei and Chuck talk about "shady things."Becky apparently heard Chuck say something along the lines of, "If [my kids] hear us talking, they'll get upset."
Becky insisted she's not "a drama queen" and had just grown tired of Andrei "milking" her father and his business. Becky said Chuck had never entertained any of her own ideas for the company and he was being manipulated by Andrei.
"I can't take it anymore," Becky complained.

Andrei predicted Elizabeth's siblings were going to annoy him the whole trip.
When everyone stayed in an AirBnB, Elizabeth asked Andrei to watch their daughter Eleanor for a minute and Andrei apparently went to the bathroom, which allowed Eleanor to crawl up the stairs and then fall backward into Elizabeth's arms.
Andrei was upset Elizabeth was blaming everything on him, but Elizabeth said it "infuriates the hell" out of her when Andrei can't admit he's in the wrong.
"I am just slowly regretting this entire trip," Elizabeth noted.
MIKE AND NATALIE
After a huge fight with Mike and his mom Trish, Natalie decided to say "sorry" so she and her husband wouldn't fight anymore.Natalie still felt tension, however, with Mike and so she decided to cook dinner for Mike along with her only friend in Washington, Juliana from Russia, whom Natalie had met online and "instantly connected" with in Seattle.
Juliana hoped she could help Natalie adjust to American culture, and then Natalie revealed she was going to have surgery on her nose next week. Natalie claimed she was having breathing problems, a lot of pain and wasn't sleeping well.
Natalie said the surgery was going to be "very expensive" and insurance didn't cover all of it. Natalie told her friend that Mike had bank debt and so she was very nervous to tell Mike that the surgery had been scheduled.

Natalie figured it would be easier to tell Mike about her plans with Juliana by her side since Mike is "difficult to communicate with."
When Mike arrived for dinner, he gave Natalie flowers and said he wanted to support her new friendship since it was nice to see Natalie communicating with a friend in her native language and having someone to depend on.

Mike said he'd request a day off from work so he could drive Natalie to the surgery.
Mike told the cameras that he didn't care about the cost but was frustrated his wife "didn't have the decency" to talk to him about it first and involve him in the decision. Mike called Natalie "selfish" but realized this dinner wasn't the right time to hash things out.
Mike told Natalie that he'd definitely be there for her after the operation, and Natalie seemed pleasantly surprised Mike was "acting really cool" about the surgery because he typically "worries about money."
But Natalie said she couldn't trust Mike and was worried he would change his mind about being happy and supportive.
Mike later said he just didn't appreciate Natalie leaving him "in the dark," but Natalie said doctors hadn't given her an option on the day or time.
Natalie argued that she had tried to talk to Mike about the operation but he ignored her because he was working. Natalie said Mike put work ahead of their relationship and she didn't feel loved, respected or helped.
Natalie felt Mike was pointing a finger at her and picking on her, and Mike said he was tired of Natalie "living a lie" and telling people that she's alone in the United States.
Mike argued that he was taking care of Natalie and putting a roof over her head, and he said he just wanted her to communicate with him better and inform him of things going on in her life.
JOVI AND YARA
Jovi had already been away at work for two months and so Yara said she couldn't wait for her husband to get home. Jovi's mother Gwen admitted being quarantined with Yara amid the coronavirus pandemic was a little bit much because Yara tended to be "bossy."Yara said she was feeling better after testing positive for COVID-19, and Jovi acknowledged via FaceTime that everything had worked out.
Jovi then revealed he had to stay at work for three more weeks and probably wouldn't be able to return home until one day after Christmas.

Jovi admitted his work schedule "sucked" and Yara accused Jovi of breaking a promise because he had allegedly promised her that he wouldn't work for more than two months.
Jovi apologized but said he couldn't control the situation, and Yara confessed she was "angry." Yara complained about being alone all the time, and then Jovi revealed some more bad news.
Jovi explained he and Yara had to move out of their apartment in a couple of weeks because their lease was up by the end of the month. Jovi said he was hoping to be home to help with the move but now he wouldn't be around.
"You need to move as soon as possible," Jovi said.
"By myself? How do you want me to do that?" Yara asked.
Jovi suggested he could hire movers, but Yara explained how she didn't even want to stay in New Orleans because she didn't like it or feel safe there.
Jovi, however, said he liked living in New Orleans -- even though Yara was totally "over" it. Jovi wanted to be close to the city, where all the action was, but Yara insisted their baby needed to be safe and she was going to make the choice on where they'd live this time.
Jovi was therefore going to be gone for three months and miss Christmas.
Jovi's mother Gwen and grandmother Barbara helped Yara finish packing and then they drove her to a new place. When the women arrived, Yara had apparently done nothing and just waited to be served her latte.
Yara envisioned herself living in Paris or Amsterdam, but since those weren't options, she said she was going to at least pick where her new apartment was going to be.
Yara picked a family-oriented and quiet place 45 minutes outside of New Orleans with two bedrooms. Yara was excited to have more space and not be around drunk people all the time.

"Before, I was doing everything that Jovi was telling me to do," Yara said.
"I know Jovi won't like that I'm moving so far away from New Orleans, but honestly, I don't care. I sacrificed a lot to be here in America with Jovi, and if he will need to go to work all the time, then he [needs] to sacrifice for me and Mylah."
ANGELA AND MICHAEL
Michael said Angela had broken up with him and he was okay with it because he was tired of her yelling and screaming at him all the time."I am going to live my life as a single man and do what I want without letting Angela know," Michael shared in a confessional.
Michael therefore decided to hang out with two friends whom Angela didn't like because they had called Angela "grandma" before and poked fun at Michael's relationship. Angela felt the men didn't support her relationship and so they weren't even invited to Michael's wedding.

Michael's friend Peter said Angela had a "very bad attitude" and was so bossy.
Michael revealed to his friends how Angela had broken up with him and they were no longer talking or communicating. Michael recalled how Angela had two surgeries, including a breast reduction, and his pals were shocked because "big boobs are the best!"
Michael said he loved Angela's big chest but she had insisted to make them smaller -- and also only informed him of the second surgery one day, allegedly, before she went under the knife.
Michael explained how Angela had never given him a chance to explain himself during arguments, and Michael's friend Bode appeared happy the relationship had come to an end. Bode said it made him happy to see Michael put his foot down and be "the man of the house."
"I still love my wife. I still love her, but I am tired now," Michael lamented. "I just want things to change and to be able to understand each other."

Michael admitted to the cameras he felt sad and confused because he was unhappy but sincerely loved Angela and didn't want to lose her.

"Maybe it's time for me to stand up for myself and tell [Angela] what I want. I just don't know if she will take me seriously and let me be a part of making decisions from now on. But that is the only way for me to be happy being married to her," Michael explained.
Angela was then shown consulting with an attorney, Lew, saying, "I want a divorce. I have had enough."
She and Michael hadn't spoken since their breakup a few days ago, and Angela said it was because Michael never even tried to reach out.
"We are done... [I want to] officially divorce Michael here in the United States and Nigeria, because I'm not playing with this man! Oh, hell no!" Angela said in a confessional.
Angela said Michael was treating her poorly and she may have made a mistake by marrying him, but Lew noted how Angela had invested a lot of time, energy and money into this marriage.
Lew's original goal was to get Michael into the United States, so he was a little surprised.
Lew said Angela just needed to dissolve the marriage and would be able to leave with everything she had brought into the marriage. Lew said Michael needed to be served with papers and then they could get the divorce granted.
The couple's spousal visa would then be withdrawn, which would make it very difficult for them to get back together and apply for another visa. It would raise major red flags for immigration, and so Angela realized there was a lot on her plate.
"I don't know if it's worth it anymore. I have invested a lot," Angela vented.

If Angela ultimately decided to bring Michael to the United States, she would be financially responsible for him, and so Lew explained it would be better to file for divorce sooner rather than later.
"I still love him... I need to make sure I've looked at every option and make sure this is what I want to do before I file, because once I file, that's it," Angela acknowledged.
BRANDON AND JULIA
Brandon and Julia were on their way to look at an apartment, which Brandon expected would run between $800-$1500 in rent per month. Julia was shocked and acknowledged life in America is so much more expensive than Russia.Julia said all they needed was a kitchen, washer and dryer.
The apartment had three bedrooms, a master bath with double-vanity sinks, and a lot of closet space. The apartment was beautiful and modern and Julia loved it, but the apartment was going to be $1800 per month and Brandon noted the couple didn't need all of that space.
Brandon said the apartment was close to Brandon's work and she liked how there wouldn't be "dirty animals" around, but Brandon said it was just too big and out of their price range.
Julia left the showing upset because she planned to start working and contribute to the couple's expenses, but Brandon told his wife that they didn't have the money now and would need a down deposit as well as furniture.
Julia complained about being tired of living with Brandon's parents, but Brandon said they needed to take one step at a time and not make any wrong moves.
"Brandon needs to step up like [a] husband. I can't wait anymore!" Julia lamented. "I'm so tired of this farm... It's time; I need to start looking for a job."
Brandon helped Julia to apply for a job as a dance instructor in a gym in Richmond, VA. Julia was going to teach some weight training and dance routines, but it turned out her club-style of dancing was a little too sexy and risque for what the gym manager wanted to teach his clients.
It appeared, however, that Julia got the job and needed to do complete some paperwork in order to start working.
