For many viewers, Nicole and Mahmoud El Sherbiny’s courtship feels more immature than intimate. Redditor u/Happy-Marsupial-571 views the relationship in such a light, saying, “It’s like watching high-schoolers date.” The user especially points out Mahmoud’s communication issues, saying, “The I don’t want to talk about it because we’re just going to fight isn’t a solution. Problems aren’t going to magically go away … “

Amongst these problems is the cultural barrier that separates Nicole and Mahmoud. Redditor u/coreysgal finds Nicole’s dismissal of Mahmoud’s culture especially ignorant. “I’m tired of all these people being shocked by cultural differences,” they say. “How ignorant are they to not learn anything about where they are going?” Meanwhile, others found Mahmoud to be equally unrealistic in approaching the relationship, with u/womp-womp-rats calling Mahmoud and others like him naïve to assume a Western woman will easily adapt to Egyptian culture.

Their problems are so rampant that some even question if they hold compassion for one another. Redditor u/whatsinaname_1980 questions this, commenting, “She keeps saying that she loves Mahmoud. What does she love about him? She never makes that clear. There’s nothing to love there.” While their Instagram accounts suggest otherwise, it’s clear that the “90 Day Fiancé” couple are in for a disastrous future unless they take their problems seriously.
