Mahogany leaves Ben on read after pages of text messages

On the March 13 episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 5, Mahogany digs deeper into Benjamin’s past. When she asked about his exes, his answers surprised him.

She revealed, “When I got to my room, Benjamin sent lots of messages to my phone.”

Mahogany explained, “I didn’t answer any of them because I was a little uncomfortable and upset. And I think it’s better to talk about that in person.”

Meanwhile, Ben told the cameras, “It just feels really weird this morning. I don’t know what I’m going to tell her, but I’m just, I’m stuck. I feel like she’s checked out.”

Ben revealed his side of the story, saying, “Last night after Mahogany started asking me about my past, I texted her. And I gave, in detail, the reason why I believe my relationship with my ex-wife is a good relationship, a working relationship.

He continued, “I went into detail with my ex-fiancée. I gave her all the answers she needed. I must have written her about 10 pages of text, and I got no response.”

’90 Day Fiancé’ fans reveal what Ben’s messages say

Ben’s text messages (translated to Spanish) scroll on the screen in the episode, and fans see an English translation for only the final two messages.

What did the rest of Ben’s messages to Mahogany say? Well, one Reddit user translated all of the messages.

Translation of all his texts:

You mentioned some good questions so here you have more detailed answers.

Do I have a good relationship with my ex? I have completely forgiven her and treated her incredibly well, so for my part it would be good, yet for her part she hasn’t forgiven me yet and she still has some feelings about divorce. There was no love in marriage but she had it good so she didn’t want it to end.

What do I mean, treating her well? I took care of her financially, including the paying more than was necessary for the maintenance of the children, giving her the house and everything in the house after the divorce, and paying her half of my salary during the first few years of the divorce.

This is my truth before God. You can choose not to believe me, or to believe me, or to judge and wait. I respect everything you do because you’re an incredibly smart woman with pious wisdom. You don’t need me and you could have anyone, and I don’t need you for happiness because God alone gives that. I want to chase you because God has put you in my heart that’s all.

And I like every little thing about you, so if God is doing this, nothing will separate us.

I heard a knock on the door and my heart started to accelerate, but when I answered, I was looking for a lost suitcase.

Now I’m eating my food just trying not to cry.

My love for you gets stronger every day, but it seems God has hardened your heart towards me.

You fear who I am and my intentions. But there is no room in love for that. Therefore this is not love. But know this – I do love you. I always will.

He explained, “So I’ve decided not to go to breakfast today.” He said, “I mean, knowing her, she’s probably gonna harden her heart even more against me, is my suspicion. But I don’t want her to be on the fence this whole time. So if this pushes her over the edge, so be it.”

However, Mahogany’s parents weren’t happy about Benjamin not showing up for the meeting.

When Ben found out about her parents being there, he texted Mahogany. “Let your parents know that I want to talk to them privately. With just them and not you. Please.”

Is this the end of Benjamin and Mahogany? Fans will have to find out by watching the rest of the season. 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 5 airs Sundays on TLC and discovery+.
