Tejaswi “TJ” Goswami and Kimberly Rochelle from 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way have decided to part ways, and there are some understandable reasons behind their decision. Kimberly fell in love with her Indian boyfriend after finding him on social media. She had dreamed of him before, making her feel that meeting him was more than just a coincidence. Kimberly didn’t wait long after meeting TJ and booked her flight to India. She traveled to Jaipur, hoping to marry her Indian partner. Sadly, things didn’t go as planned. Kimberly struggled to understand and adhere to Hindu cultural and religious values.
As Kimberly spent more time with TJ, she realized that her in-laws didn’t accept her. She was furious at her brother-in-law’s constant intervention and hurt by her mother-in-law’s rules. Kimberly also didn’t feel impressed with the apartment TJ had built for her, as it didn’t look American enough. Despite all the challenges, Kimberly continued to stay with TJ, hoping for a happy ending. She married him and appeared confident in her decision. Sadly, Kimberly’s married life lasted only a few years, and her relationship with TJ ended before they could achieve any notable milestones together.
