90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way’s latest sneak peek showed Brandan DeNuccio getting hurt after learning that Mary Demasu-ay lied to him multiple times before they met. The 23-year-old American man and his 23-year-old Philippine partner first met two years ago while recovering from their tragic breakups. At the time, the two fell for each other and kickstarted a long-distance relationship where they remained connected on their phones 24/7. Recently, Brandan flew to the Philippines to build a family with Mary. While he didn’t have much in savings, he trusted his partner and moved to be with her.

Brandan looked cheerful when he finally met Mary. However, he may soon regret trusting his girlfriend so much. Recently, a sneak peek for The Other Way episode 5 (via People), “My So-Called Wi-Fi,” showed the 90 Day Fiancé star having lunch with Mary and her male friends. While he was initially optimistic, things soon turned sour when one of the friends revealed that Mary hadn’t been honest with him. The friend said, “So do you know that Mary unplugged her Wi-Fi, turned off her phone, to go hang out many other times with us?” The revelation stunned Brandan, who gasped at Mary’s lies. The scene ended with him asking her if her friend was telling the truth.

Will Mary's Lies Impact Relationship With Brandan?

While Brandan remained calm in the scene, he was visibly heartbroken and teary-eyed. The 23-year-old reality star has had a painful past relationship experience that emotionally damaged him forever. But he trusted Mary and fell in love with her. Unfortunately, Mary’s lies will forever change how Brandan perceives her. The two shared an innocent relationship that they built on faith. However, now the American man knows he can’t unthinkingly trust the woman he wants to be his wife. Brandan will likely forever be cautious around Mary and wouldn’t be able to believe what she says.

Mary has been one of the most toxic cast members to appear in the franchise. Previously, she accused Brandan of cheating because a woman sat beside him on the plane. Before that, the Philippine reality star got immensely jealous when her 23-year-old partner had a medical appointment with a female doctor. Mary’s demeanor and her treatment of Brandan show she doesn’t respect him. She wants to control her soon-to-be husband. Perhaps, her lack of regard for Brandan is the main reason she lied to him in the first place.

Still, love is a powerful emotion that can turn mountains. Mary’s lies are inexcusable, but they are also somewhat understandable. She has a life outside of her relationship. The same is true for Brandan. Therefore, the two need to simply share more and have some faith. Mary probably lied to Brandan because she thought he would feel jealous and stop her from going out. Since the couple is now together, staying connected on the phone isn’t an issue. The new 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way pair must learn to give each other some personal space and work on their communication gap.

90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
