‘90 Day Fiancé’: All of the Red Flags in Caleb and Alina’s First Meeting
On the Jan 2nd episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, Alina and Caleb spend their first night together after knowing each other for 13 years. Then, Alina and Caleb finally have their first kiss. However, many 90 Day Fiancé fans are convinced that this relationship won’t work out due to the red flags that presented themselves in their first 24 hours together.
Caleb being annoyed about learning how to care for Alina
One of the biggest red flags that 90 Day Fiancé fans noticed is that Caleb seemed annoyed by learning how to care for Alina. Caleb knew that he would have to help Alina with her wheelchair during their trip. However, it seemed like he was agitated with the idea of helping her. Even with Alina’s friend, Elijah, there to teach him the ropes.
One fan wrote via Reddit, “He was making annoyed “oof” noises … as he was helping her with the wheelchair and all. Making sure to let her know he is annoyed with her because of her condition. So freaking rude and cruel. If this is the first day and he’s already acting so annoyed, it’s concerning how he’ll treat her years down the line.”
Alina being pushy about being intimate is a red flag
The first night after arriving in Turkey, Caleb was exhausted and too tired to be intimate with Alina. The next morning, Alina felt like Caleb was rejecting her. She told him, “So actually, I was very upset yesterday.” She explained that it upset her that they didn’t cuddle. He said, “Well, you’re getting cuddles now.” She says, “Well, I wanted them yesterday.”
She tells the cameras, “My feelings were kind of hurt because I want some kind of affection from him.” After 13 years of tension, she felt like it was strange that he wasn’t interested in her sexually on the first night. Caleb said that he was in his head the first night, worrying about the physical difference between him and Alina.
Many 90 Day Fiancé fans found that this pushy behavior by Alina wouldn’t translate well if she were a man. Pushing someone into sex is definitely a red flag.
Caleb is calling Alina his friend but packs condoms
On the Dec 19 episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, Caleb is preparing for his trip to meet Alina in Turkey. Caleb then packs a large box of condoms. He says, “I’m bringing condoms too, just to be safe. I’m not trying to force things. I really want to see what feels organic, but, you know, I’m seeing her for two weeks. Anything can happen.”
He says, “Despite my religious upbringing, I’m a pretty sexually open person, so I’m excited, but a little bit anxious because, with Alina, a lot of the things you take for granted in regular size sex are off the table. Like, you can’t make out and have sex. They’re either on you, or they’re up here. So I really don’t know what to expect.”
Many fans believe that this relationship won’t last beyond the few weeks together in Turkey. 90 Day Fiancé fans will have to watch to find out what happens between Alina and Caleb. Before the 90 Days Season 5 airs Sundays on TLC and discovery+.
