While visiting Shekinah’s family in Montana on the April 20 episode of the TLC series, Sarper knew her three sisters would be concerned because of his “bad reputation.” He worried that the family would think he was a “jerk,” to which Shekinah said, “You kind of fit the bill.” Shekinah admitted that he had “a lot to prove” to her sisters. She then reminded him the spot he found himself in was “because of your own actions, ways you've chosen to live your life and things you've chosen to do to me in our relationship, it's your own fault.” From left: Shekinah and Sarper on '90 Day Fiancé'.

Ahead of the meeting, Shariyah told cameras, “I feel like the amount of time that I had with Shekinah and Sarper, I didn't really get to see the dynamic and the connection between them. So it'll be nice to see if anything's different.” Sarper was showing his nerves about the family gathering, saying, “I feel an inmate going to his execution but I’m ready for that.” The PEOPLE App is now available in the Apple App Store!

He claimed he no longer talks to other women, but they wanted to know how she could trust his word. “It takes a level of trust..and that's what relationships are about,” Shekinah told her sisters. “I mean, if I had no trust in Sarper, what would be the point of me even being with him?” However, Zionah wasn’t satisfied with her answer, saying, “It bothers me that she's being so naive about that kind of stuff. I don’t like that mindset.” Matters only got worse when Sarper asked if the other sisters gave off “geisha vibes” like Shekinah, he added, “She does everything. She cooks, washes, everything.” From left: Sarper and Shekinah.
