90 Day Fiancé’s Shekinah and Sarper don’t seem to be on the same page.
During the July 15 episode of The Other Way, Shekinah arrived in Turkey to live with Sarper for a second time. When she got to his apartment, she noticed something that upset her, leading to an argument between the two.
“It looks trashed, and the bottles on the shelves,” she said, referring to Sarper’s collection of bottles he drank with different women. “I don't know why he's holding on to them so tightly. It shows me how careless he is and his lack of respect for me. I'm just feeling all kinds of things right now, and none of them are good things.”
Shekinah went on to tell Sarper it is “disappointing and hurtful” for him to keep the bottles after she told him they made her uncomfortable three-and-a-half months prior when she was last there.
“Babe, this place is a wreck,” she said. “It almost looks like you weren't expecting me.”
The room Shekinah was hoping to turn into her closet was also not prepared for her, and she got upset with Sarper for not being more considerate about her arrival.
“Are you doing this because of those bottles?” he asked.
“How would you feel if I had a whole case full of things that remind me of other guys and I don't want to get rid of them?” she replied.
“It reminds me of the places that I visited, not the girls,” he explained.
Shekinah then accused Sarper of telling “a lie” because he didn’t want to admit he still thought about women from his past.
“Don't try to reframe it,” she said.
In his confessional, Sarper admitted he regretted ever telling Shekinah the bottles had any meaning beside gathering them from his travels. He said he only drinks with other people, so his reasoning for drinking alcohol was the women, but that wasn’t why he kept the bottles.
“I have to stop sometimes,” he joked about himself.
As he watched Shekinah tear up -
, Sarper said he didn’t understand why she “came with this mood.” She snapped back to say that she wasn’t upset until she got to the apartment.
“Do you want me to show the book to you?” he asked, talking about his “little black book” of all the women’s names he has slept with.
“Don't you dare bring that in front of me,” she responded. “Because that's so disrespectful to show me.”
Sarper did not agree. Instead, he thought it may help Shekinah “make peace with it.”
“It’s not a big deal," he insisted.
After he said that, Shekinah grew angrier and pulled out a binder containing a long letter from an ex. “This is 143 pages of a love letter that my ex-boyfriend wrote to me,” she quipped. “You keep it, make peace with it.”
She then told cameras in her confessional that she never planned to bring the binder out on their first night, but she was so upset she felt she had no other choice.
“I just feel like it's disrespectful for him to tell me that I'm his future and his everything, yet hold onto these things from his past,” she said. “And then he also has a double standard where he can have these things and he can talk about his past so much but I can't talk about mine. It's making me question why I even came back to Turkey and if I want to stay.”
As Shekinah stormed out of the room, saying she didn’t want to talk to Sarper anymore, he picked up the binder and threw it.
“You are so good at f---ing up things,” he said as the scene came to a dramatic close.
