90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way released a new episode on TLC on Monday, September 2, 2024. It followed a group of American natives who left everything behind to travel across the globe to be with their partners. Their journey took them to countries like China, Turkey, Indonesia, Iceland, Ireland, England, and Turkey.
Seven couples participated in the show to establish and consolidate their connections. However, they soon encountered trouble in paradise. Adapting to a new place and its customs while seeking family approval became an issue for many. Some struggled financially, while others struggled with accommodation.
Josh and Lily were one such couple who started drifting apart soon after the former moved to China. Josh, who quit his job in the U.S., could not work in China. Disagreements started to overpower their relationship once Lily became unhappy being the sole breadwinner. Financial tensions and a lack of proper communication wedged a gap between the two.
In the latest episode, the 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way cast members argued over white flashlights. While Josh wanted to know what they were, Lily seemed uninterested in answering his questions. Their conversation soon turned into an argument about their financial contrast. Fans took to X to react to their disagreements and incompatibility.
"Idk what’s going on with lily and josh they need to break up," a fan wrote.
"Josh and Lily shouldn't have gotten married because they don't understand each other," another person wrote.
"Josh and Lily have the most awkward conversations!!" one user reacted.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way fans were shocked that the couple's fallout revolved around flashlights. Many criticized Lily for not answering Josh's questions and repeatedly listing everything she had done for him.
"Here’s a thought Lily, why don’t you just tell Josh what the damn flashing lights mean?" a netizen commented.
"I am no fan of Lily. I am so sick of hearing her talk about money. She knew he couldn’t work when he moved there to be with her," one person tweeted.
Some 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way fans claimed that the language barrier was one of the major causes of their arguments. Meanwhile, others criticized Josh for getting upset with Lily despite not having any financial responsibility.
"Josh:”I gave up everything” like what? What did you give up? Quitting your job and letting someone take care of you isn’t really a sacrifice," a person reacted.
"Josh & Lily's main issue is the language barrier. If you can't speak the language of your spouse how do you expect to communicate properly?" another person tweeted.
"Josh wants Lily to pay all the bills but don’t mention it because it makes him feel bad. Plus wants to be able to pop-off and complain about everything without her pushing back," a user wrote.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way stars Josh and Lily argue about white flashlights

The way Lily ignored Josh's queries bothered him. He claimed she understood him "maybe 75% of the time."
"When I'm speaking, she'd cut me off or be like, 'No, no I know, I know' when I know she really doesn't know which is even more frustrating," Josh said.
He admitted all their arguments were due to "simple translation errors." He added that there was a lack of communication and understanding between them. Meanwhile, his 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way partner revealed Josh's repeated questions about the flashlights irked her.
Lily would mention everything she had done for him to reassure him of her love. However, it offended Josh since it reminded him of his financial situation.
"She went right back to it, you know, talking about 'I buy this, this, and this for you,' always reminding me that what she spends and how much she does for our relationship," Josh said.
