During 90 Day Engagement: Happily Ever After? Season 7 To All Special Part 3, one couple is in a completely different place.
We don’t mean Ed and Liz after the breakup. After the 11th split, it’s nothing new.
No, we are talking about Bilal Hazziez and Shaeeda Sween.
Suddenly, they reversed their attitude about their life plans as a couple. Plus, they have major trust issues. Oh, and then there’s the proposal?
The night before the second day of filming this Tell All special, Shaeeda sat down with Yara Zaya. They cover a wide range of topics.
Between them there is a plan for Day 2. Both of them know that Shaeeda and Bilal will take their turn in the spotlight.
Yara already knows some of his problems, including Bilal who is secretive about his finances. And Shaeeda said that she had planned to deal with disagreements in the area.
First things first…remember the 9 month ultimatum? They determined that they had not reached the deadline.
However, the couple admitted that they only tried a few times. Preventing special fate (whether good or bad, depending on the couple’s goals), which is usually not enough to conceive.
The cast was shocked by Bilal’s openness about having a baby. He had seemed hesitant, at best, before.
The production plays never-before-seen clips of his awkward trip to the herb to see if it could help with fertility.
Somehow, the merchant turned the conversation to Bilal’s manhood. We get it – it’s the seller’s job to suggest other products, especially in cameras.
To the anger of this viewer and his parents, this leads to the person asking Bilal (and Shaun asking the cast) if they’ve “heard of edging.” Unbelievably, only Andrei admitted to knowing about this common sexual practice. Or … are we just too chronically online?
Then came the startling revelation: Bilal came to have a child with Shaeeda. But he, as predicted earlier, focused on a new life in America.
However, Shaeeda also explained that she felt concerned. Why? Because Bilal doesn’t seem to trust him. He refused to disclose his finances or open a joint account.
How could she have a baby with an unbeliever? Yara, Jovi, Elizabeth, and Andrei all talk about marital accounts and financial transparency. What Bilal did was not normal.
Bilal claims that he wants to teach financial literacy. They thought they were cashing out fast. But he was clearly not the right person to evaluate this.
Most adults are too shy to smuggle snacks into the movie theater. You buy them there, or you go without. Ndilalah, Bilal refused to buy popcorn while watching a movie. He has grown up successful, but still pinches money hard. That sweat.
One can understand that Bilal grew up in a very different economic bracket and may feel strongly about resisting certain expenses. But Shaeeda didn’t have to pay the price for her childhood.
With Bilal insisting that he only wants to educate his wife, Yara raises the question: why does he think he needs to “educate” this grown woman?
Bilal noted that you are never too old to learn. Hey, that’s right! But she felt that he didn’t appreciate her efforts to teach him.
Maybe because his lectures are more like it mansplaining with the patronizing hope that he will agree with the way he does things. Just a thought!
Bilal’s friend Chris, who has known him since he was a teenager, joins Tell All. He thought that Bilal’s lecture was useful.
But he quickly started throwing up red flags, starting with asking “what man doesn’t want to lead his family?” If you get the redpill (or similar) vibe, they keep coming.
He spiraled, insisting that he was “defending people.” And she really clashes with her friend Shaeeda, who is controversial herself.
Eutris mentions Bilal’s micro management. And Yara suggests, hey, Bilal and Shaeeda can open a joint account and only close it if Shaeeda can’t handle it. Yara was sure he would be fine.
Then, Eutris noted that Bilal should communicate better with his wife, as an equal rather than as a student or a child. Shaeeda could be more receptive if she was respectful.
Importantly, many people called Eutris a “joke”, when she, during the season, discussed Shaeeda sabotaging her own birth control to get what she wanted. It’s not funny and it would be something you can’t do in real life.
Although Bilal finds it hard to believe that Shaeeda is going to buy popcorn, she now wants to have a baby.
His proposal to her, kneeling and presenting her with “If you think I’m cute, you should see my mom” onesie, is very expensive.
The Tell All stage was filled with applause. Yara even cried and cried at the sweet moment.
