Mike Berk Refuses to Leave After Ximena Dumps Him on 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days (Recap)

On 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days Season 5, Episode 15, couples were made or broken.

Mike returned from his walkabout to find a Ximena who was ready for him to leave, but Mike refused -- even when she offered to pay for the hotel.

Ben responded to Mahogany ghosting him by having her meet up with him, which is where things got even weirder.

Gino braces himself for an awkward prenup conversation with Jasmine, but she has her own bone to pick with him.

It's time for Kimberly to head home, but Usman's last-minute denial of PDA has her feeling insecure and rejected.

Memphis and Hamza are married, but that is not the end of their exciting news.

1. Mike Berk and Ximena Cuellar

Ximena cuellar to mike berk why did you take off running
Mike ended the last episode by running off into the night. Maybe it helped him think. Maybe he wanted to stop the cameras from filming him cry. One way or the other, he came back to a bewildered Ximena ... convinced that she had only used him for money.

2. She wants him to just go

Mike berk another bed at home
Though Ximena tells Mike that she is willing to pay for his hotel room, he refuses, saying that he wants to sleep in another room at her home.

3. They go back, with Ximena awkwardly explaining things to her sister

Mike berk im going to pack my clothes
Mike removes his things from her room. This is one of the most awkward parts of a breakup, and not something that we see as much on this show -- all of the things involved, and how long leaving can actually take. Of course, Mike's taking longer than most people might.

4. Ximena returns the rings

Ximena cuellar im returning the two wedding rings
She returns the wedding bands and the engagement ring (in many places, legally, the engagement ring would be hers anyway), but Mike asks her to consider holding onto the engagement ring until they work things out. He's ... still not getting the memo.

5. Mike also brings up Ximena's past cam work

Ximena cuellar i didnt force him to send me money
Whatever we may think of Ximena, it was not Mike's place to bring up that Ximena was a camgirl model before he began paying her to keep her from doing that work during their relationship.

6. Mike doesn't like people knowing that this was how they met

Ximena cuellar he was always every day he was there
Ximena says that she didn't ask Mike to send her money. He was being both generous and deeply selfish (or perhaps insecure) in sending it, but she had a job. And, as Ximena notes, Mike was super thirsty for her at the time ... making it very hypocritical for him to throw this in her face.
