Below is the latest on several 90 Day Fiance couples, according to the seventh episode of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s sixth season.
ELIZABETH AND ANDREI
Elizabeth apparently couldn't sleep and felt awful after the altercation she had with her sister Becky on Chuck's chartered yacht.Elizabeth said she never thought she'd get physical with Becky like they did when they were children, and so she didn't think a family reunion on an RV was a good idea.
Elizabeth was upset because she said she and Becky used to be best friends, with Becky serving as a shoulder to cry on and someone uplifting in her life. Andrei, however, thought it would be best to attend the family reunion so he could have more bonding time with Chuck.
Elizabeth realized she needed to talk to Becky and attempt to hash things out before moving forward and potentially seeing each other again at the family reunion.
Elizabeth and Becky then met up with their sister Jenn, and Becky admitted her fight with Elizabeth got out of hand -- and she blamed Andrei for it all.

Becky told Elizabeth that Andrei's placement in the family business felt "shady," and Jenn agreed. Becky said Andrei was trying to "climb the ladder" in the business while pushing everyone off during his way up.
"I think it's a really bad idea for him to be working with all of us," Becky confessed to the cameras.
Jenn said Andrei should find his own real estate career -- outside of Chuck's business -- and that it seemed Andrei was trying to pin everyone against each other in the family so they'd all look bad and he'd come out of the situation smelling like a rose.
Jenn begged the girls to get along for Chuck's sake, and both Elizabeth and Becky agreed. Elizabeth didn't want to hurt Chuck's feelings by not going to the family reunion, but she also said she wasn't going to allow her family members to disrespect or talk down to Andrei again.
"You better not give me a reason to talk to him like that," Becky argued.
Elizabeth explained in a confessional, "Andrei doesn't talk to any of my sisters when they are together. My sisters are always antagonizing Andrei and it makes him snap. You can't poke the bear and then get upset when the bear f-cking growls at you."
MIKE AND NATALIE
Mike and Natalie were about to leave Oklahoma and head back to Washington after Thanksgiving.ADVERTISEMENT
Mike called Natalie "rude" and "a child," and Trish just replied, "Okay," with no recollection of how she had insulted or offended Natalie.
"I'm the big, bad Mommy!" Trish said with a laugh.
Natalie told the cameras Trish had called her "a hooker" and suggested she should give up her career aspirations to become a language interpreter. Natalie said Trish had been demanding, questioning her and labeling her.
Trish confronted Natalie, asking what she had done wrong, and Natalie explained how Trish had called her "crazy" and didn't want her to marry Mike to begin with. Natalie also recalled how Trish had made jokes at her expense and they were "inappropriate."
Mike asked Natalie to share which jokes had made her angry, but Natalie replied, "I am too high for it to repeat."

Mike became increasingly more frustrated and asked Natalie to reveal what Trish had said that was so disrespectful. Mike said Trish couldn't apologize if Natalie wouldn't even explain what was bothering her.
Natalie announced there was nothing wrong with her dream to become an actress or journalist and she just wanted to be happy in life. Natalie insisted she'd do the job that she wanted, but Mike yelled at Natalie, saying, "She did nothing to you, so why are you acting like this?!"
Natalie snapped that she just wanted to leave, and Mike called Natalie "ridiculous" and "disrespectful." Trish then recommended that Mike give Natalie $5,000 and then send her back to Ukraine.
Trish lamented about how Natalie always threw a temper tantrum and had to change. Trish said she wasn't going to walk on eggshells with Natalie and Mike needed to make some plans about sending his wife back to Ukraine.
It was a silent ride to the airport in Oklahoma, and Mike barked at Natalie to get her head out of her ass. Natalie felt like Trish was Mike's priority and she could say or do whatever she wanted.
"I feel like sometimes I'm in a bed not with Michael but with Trish, and I'm sorry -- I am done with it," Natalie vented in a confessional.

"I think when we get home, I need to look at my life and re-evaluate myself and Natalie. I need to figure sh-t out," Mike said.
KALANI AND ASUELU
The self-proclaimed "sex-positive" Kalani, who said she's very "open-minded about sex" even though she didn't lose her virginity until her late twenties, visited a sex shop with Asuelu so they could buy some items that would spice up their time in the bedroom.Kalani and Asuelu each bought a toy, including a vibrator for Kalani, and their trip to the store ended with the couple spanking each other and also buying a whip.
Kalani made it clear, however, that she wanted to have sex but not get pregnant again.
"I think when we have a healthy sex life, we do get along better... but we still need to talk about communication. That's something we always have to work on," Kalani told her husband, adding that they finally felt like a real couple.
It then became time for Asuelu and Kalani's romantic getaway, which was still a surprise to Kalani since Asuelu had planned the whole thing, including activities.

Asuelu had booked his family two cabin suites "in the middle of nowhere," according to Kalani. Asuelu had booked one cabin for Kalani and himself and another cabin for Kalani's mother and the two kids, Oliver and Kennedy.
Kalani appreciated Asuelu's effort but wished they had gone to a nice resort instead. She gave Asuelu a C- for the location and destination, but she tried to make the best of it and joked about having sex with Asuelu on a bunk bed.
Kalani wished Asuelu could learn the meaning of romance, but after checking Kalani's mom into their cabin, Asuelu surprised Kalani with rose petals on the floor, candles, champagne, and rose petals in the shape of a heart on the bed in the cabin where they'd be staying.
Asuelu said Kalani didn't seem to appreciate his gestures and he hoped they could focus on their relationship instead of Kalani just taking care of their kids the whole time.

Kalani and Asuelu gushed the next day about having a lot of sex, and great sex at that. The pair then sat by a fire pit and Kalani suggested they should try to talk things out by doing a few communication exercises.
Kalani explained how she didn't like it when Asuelu yelled over her during a fight, and Asuelu said he didn't like feeling stupid and hoped to implement more sex in their relationship.
Kalani revealed she and Asuelu were having sex once a week or every two weeks, and Asuelu wanted it to become more routine in their relationship, like when they had first begun dating.
"I feel guilty that I went to a lawyer behind [Asuelu]'s back... It seriously feels painful and I'm going to have to tell him," Kalani explained, adding that she expected Asuelu to get mad and yell and scream upon hearing the news.
ANGELA AND MICHAEL
Angela was shown weighing herself five weeks after her weight-loss surgery and breast reduction in her bathroom, and she apparently had lost a whopping 40 pounds. Angela said she initially weighed 273.5 pounds and now weighed 234.5 pounds.Angela said she felt great about her transformation and she was already feeling "so much better." Angela acknowledged she had made the best choice for herself even though Michael never really approved of the surgery to begin with.
But Angela said she didn't have much time to exercise with her grandchildren running around. After being with the kids all day, Angela explained that she didn't have enough energy to work out.

Angela was not supposed to be smoking in the meantime, but she admitted to smoking around 10 cigarettes a day. Angela was warned that she was creating an ulcer inside of her stomach that could one day rupture and result in emergency surgery, which Angela may not even survive.
Angela said she had tried everything to quit smoking but was having a hard time with "no emotional support" from Michael, who allegedly ignored Angela's phone calls and wasn't giving her any support.
"He's stressing me the hell out. He's not calling me and checking up on me, so it definitely makes me want to smoke more," Angela said in a confessional.

But Angela didn't think she could accomplish anything without Michael's love and support.
Angela then visited a hypnotist to try to quit smoking. She already had an abscess in her mouth and recognized smoking was making it worse, and she wasn't up for trying acupuncture since she's not a fan of needles.
Angela had been smoking cigarettes for about 40 years, and she apparently smoked one pack a day. Angela said she smoked due to stress and the problems Michael was causing her.
Angela also said she looked like "a hooker" to Michael's family because she smoked and typically only party girls in Nigeria smoke cigarettes. Angela's hypnotist said there's a 93% success rate in his field when it comes to getting people to quit smoking.
BRANDON AND JULIA
Brandon and Julia headed to a party where they'd be celebrating Brandon's father Ron's 70th birthday. Julia was nervous to meet new friends and family members.Once Brandon and Julia arrived to the party, there were birthday decorations everywhere as well as "Just Married" decorations. Brandon and Julia were displeased since they never wanted a post-wedding party or celebration to begin with.
Brandon and Julia had only agreed to a just-married toast at Ron's birthday bash, and Julia seemed pretty angry. Betty even surprised Brandon and Julia with a beautiful cake and an appearance from their wedding officiant.
Julia figured Betty had created this whole party to exert her control and show that she could do whatever she wanted to do.

"Who wouldn't want a party and a cake? But that's not the point. I am tired of being treated like a child. I just feel personally disrespected and hurt, and it's not okay," Brandon complained.
Betty couldn't believe Brandon was upset over a party for their family and friends, and she called her son "rude, uncaring and so ungrateful."

Brandon told his mother that she wasn't respecting his boundaries as a married man, and Julia told the cameras that she was very proud of her husband for standing up to his mom.
With that being said, Julia took Brandon's hand and told Betty that they were going to leave the party early. Julia wanted to focus on her relationship with Brandon and the life they were building together.
Ron and Betty thought they had just done something nice for their son and daughter-in-law and the pair behaved very rudely by leaving the party prematurely. Betty told Brandon and Julia they had done nothing wrong and only loved Julia like a daughter.
Betty said she wanted Julia and Brandon to have a place of their own but hoped, in some small way, the couple would want to take over the farm. Ron also called Brandon "unprepared" to pay bills, including $1,200 for rent somewhere.

Ron believed Brandon and Julia were not grateful and living on their own was going to be "an eye-opener" for the both of them. Ron told his child not to look to him for help if he ended up struggling on his own, and Brandon said that was just fine.
TIFFANY AND RONALD
Tiffany, her mother Maggie, Carley and Daniel were ready to celebrate Christmas and were shown decorating a big Christmas tree. Tiffany was looking forward to the salsa music and Cuban food, but Ronald apparently wanted his family in South Africa with him for the holiday.Since the borders were reopened amid the coronavirus pandemic, Ronald asked Tiffany to visit him with the kids for three months, including the holidays.
Maggie admitted it was going to be "sucky" to celebrate Christmas without her daughter, and she wasn't happy when she heard Ronald had grunted about being asked to pay half of his family's plane tickets.
Maggie laughed about Ronald being "a joke," and she told Tiffany to use her trip to South Africa as a test run to figure out whether she really wanted to be with Ronald forever and have him move to the United States permanently.
Tiffany wanted to see that Ronald was saving money, working, prioritizing his family, and being responsible in South Africa. Maggie told Tiffany that she had made all the sacrifices in her relationship and Ronald had done nothing to contribute.

Tiffany had set high expectations for Ronald and their future together, and she said her husband needed to check off all of her boxes or else she'd rebook her plane ticket and head home with the kids.
