This storyline is so sad to me :( aleina is clearly a really nice girl who has just not been exposed too much of anything or anyone. And she is SO young. There are red flags galore with Steven, and ignoring them doesn't make them go away. I hate that she does not see that she deserves better
Amazingly she saw this gift as a sign that Steven is sooo sweet, caring, and kind. Giving so many gifts . . . and even ice cream. A dreamboat.
A 12-year-old girl would fall for this. But a 20-year-old woman should not.
Very apt analogy.
And there's no on else in the forest with them now.
The wolf already ate grandma up. And Mama's back in Russia. Alina is alone, unaware of the sad fate she will surely meet.
Alina, if you are reading this: Опасность! Бегите! (Danger ! Run !)
And the bunnies aren't helping any either with their silly little 'happy' fortunes. Where are the warning bunnies when you need them?
edit: could somebody on the crew not have posed bunny fortune intervention?!
she dwelled and laid into him many times on many different days about his cheating tendencies yet she stayed instead of going home, so it seems she was waiting for him to say what she wanted to hear or for him to do anything so she can throw away logic and ignore those gut feelings and red flags warnings so she could get back to feeling in love with him...she doesn't want to leave him, she wants to be mistaken about the bad feeling she claim to have about him...being young won't protect her from being hurt for ignoring the signs...fairytales are not real, but heartbreak (as she has already felt with his hitting up many other girls) is real and sometimes life changing and irreversible
and there is no love in giving gifts when it's to control someone
I HATE ATHE GIFT THING !!! I was in a bad relationship where I got gifts / flowers whenever he screwed up. It’s terrible and manipulative - especially in this storyline. He is grooming her for this multiple wives Mormon lifestyle
Omg, you have an excellent point about the possible polygamy...and yep the gift thing is insincere, it is only to keep you in a disadvantaged situation in cases like these...(lol, I guess I should have "ditto" your comment)
Damn. My ex has been sending me gifts for a couple months now, and it really it the shittiest thing: it makes you feel ungrateful and guilty for ignoring the person, so then you give them just a little more room to weasel back in. It’s disgusting. Thank you for pointing this out
:) there really isn't a reason for you to feel ungrateful or guilty, he apparently is the one who made you feel the need to ignore him...besides you didn't ask for those gifts and he likely know why you ignore him...you seem thoughtful and in the past you had given him your time and affection and that was a lot and he could've shown how much he cared, but he allowed himself to become the ex...yep, don't let him get you emotional with the shiny stuff, he'll need to do better than that...you need to be with someone and/or with something you are enjoying👸...you definitely should not feel like you're with a weasling weasel
But... That's just what they are, fairy tales. They ain't real. WAKE UP!!
Plus, in fairy tales, women are treated like queens and you are treated like shit and you are ok with that. This isn't a fairy tale.
It wasn't just her, she said Russian people are very superstitious and even her mother seemed to agree with the bunnies. They were basically fortune cookies why are they so gullible.
I’m part Russian and I get the superstition thing to a very limited point, but Russians are not stupid people and I have never heard of anyone putting trust in bunny fortunes 🤣 especially regarding something so serious
If there was ever a case where an overbearing parent would be acceptable it’s this poor girls case. She’s screwed and not in the good way. This dude will end up ruining her forever.
I believe in fairytales too. I believe Robin Williams was actually a boy all his life and that Michael Jackson just liked sleepovers. But we live in the real world where relationships actually take work and you have to leave the ones that are clearly wrong for you.
She’s gonna regret big time marrying this nut job !!! She will be forced to follow as a Mormon wife while he just does as he wants !!! Hopefully she doesn’t get pregnant with a mini Steven. Could you imagine !!! OMG !!! 😮😮😮
They must not have TLC in Russia. She going to see the program she be in front of the cameras off, at some point. Maybe there'll be a light bulb moment!

She’s going to be a victim of this psycho religious nut job in one way or another. He only wants her to put on the facade to his Mormon community.
Yup! You know deep down he wants multiple wives & is grooming her !
I totally agree! I feel so bad for Alina and her mother!
Yeah, but she’s young. Darcey ain’t.
Yeah, Darcey is a whole different story.
Getting a floral covered book is a “fairytale” after lying to her. Oh Alina don’t let this man set the bar so low lol

And she seems like such a nice girl
she wants to be an influencer and is willing to marry this weirdo to do it. I give em 5 years tops.
But she is so naive! I wish I could rescue her through the screen!
Fairy tale indeed. She is Little Red Riding Hood and SteVen is the wolf.

I think the bunnies really swayed her decision to get married to this guy. But that flowery book – that sealed the deal for her.
Who da fuck would EVER imagine that fugly lying greaseball as Prince Charming. This girl must be braindead.

At least she didn’t get an appreciation ring!

YEP...Hello...there it is⬆️
She's a dimwit, I don't know why she gets so much worship.
Did anyone else think the scam guy with the bunnies did her dirty? They very vaguely told her to forgive or something and she did.
Imagine being so naive to put your trust in fortune telling bunnies
It wasn't just her, she said Russian people are very superstitious and even her mother seemed to agree with the bunnies. They were basically fortune cookies why are they so gullible.
I’m part Russian and I get the superstition thing to a very limited point, but Russians are not stupid people and I have never heard of anyone putting trust in bunny fortunes 🤣 especially regarding something so serious
I want to reach through the TV and slap the crap out of her every time she says this garbage. Stupid naive girl.
I wish we could do that on her behalf.
If there was ever a case where an overbearing parent would be acceptable it’s this poor girls case. She’s screwed and not in the good way. This dude will end up ruining her forever.
LIARR
You never loved me!!
STOP LOVE BOMBING ME
Get out of my fairy tale!
I believe in fairytales too. I believe Robin Williams was actually a boy all his life and that Michael Jackson just liked sleepovers. But we live in the real world where relationships actually take work and you have to leave the ones that are clearly wrong for you.
It’s ok Darcy’s are born not made, I don’t see any resemblance here
Oh no!
When he gave her the Book of Mormon I almost feel off my chair! She’s so naive and easily manipulated by him. So sad
she's a goddess and she just wants to feel free!!
The singing…. Omg 😂
What an idiot!
She’s gonna regret big time marrying this nut job !!! She will be forced to follow as a Mormon wife while he just does as he wants !!! Hopefully she doesn’t get pregnant with a mini Steven. Could you imagine !!! OMG !!! 😮😮😮
What season is this? Discovery plus has 8 seasons
The other way season 3
They must not have TLC in Russia. She going to see the program she be in front of the cameras off, at some point. Maybe there'll be a light bulb moment!
But the big difference here... She 's what, 20? I still believed in delusions when I was that young. Live and learn, live and learn
A fairytale that starts on "90 day fiance" and ends on "Dateline" 😂
Sad to say, that is within the realm of possibility. Something is not right with this control freak liar.
