Should Nina Have Chosen Her Husband -- Or Her Catfish?

A woman had to prepare the choice of a lifetime on this week’s Catfish: Should she live in a unhappy marriage or begin anew with her online love who wasn’t quite what she expected?


The gal with the dilemma -- Nina, an adult webcam model -- had actually wedded her hubby Mike twice; they broke up right after Wedding #1 although eventually reconnected and walked down the aisle a second time (plus had two kids while doing so. While in their hiatus, although, Nina had fallen in love with Jon, one of her webcam viewers who supposedly had a Lamborghini and private plane and -- more importantly -- gave Nina a persons vision she didn’t receive from Mike.


“[Jon] wanted to be able to me laugh; he wanted to be able to see me happy,” she told Nev and Max. “I feel key in Jon’s world. The ‘I love you’s’ and ‘I miss you’s,’ I get from Jon. I don’t hear that from Mike.”


Although, naturally, Jon was catfishy -- he’d never met Nina in person and flaked on a few in-person meetings. Case in point, whenever Nina determined to divorce Mike and fled to a hotel where she suggested to meet Jon and run away with him, the catfish didn’t show, sending Nina right back to her hubby-in-waiting. Without consideration, Jon still had Nina hook, line and sinker; she told Nev and Max that she was on board to meet him and perhaps make a life with each other. “I aspire to be able to see what should have been, what could have been, what could be,” she said.


So who was Jon? Turns out, he was really Miles, a longtime webcam viewer Nina had actually met in person years prior. And throughout their face-to-face with Nev and Max in tow, he explained the purpose of his ruse.


“I was afraid,” he mentioned simply, noting that he was 100 pounds heavier if he first met Nina. “But I care about you. Think I may issue everything I’ve ever mentioned would. I'd like to do those things we discussed about -- get a home, move in, a trip to Greece. I want you in my life.”


For her part, Nina seemed to be on the fence. “This certainly shows me that there’s more to him than I anticipated,” she mentioned soon following the meeting. And she got all ominous once she FaceTimed her spouse. “There’s something I have to tell you,” she started. “I thought I knew what I wanted, nevertheless I don’t. Something needs to change, and I have to prepare a decision.”


That decision, yet, was to stick with Mike. Surprised? We were also, especially immediately after -- while in a sit-down with Miles, Nev and Max -- she admitted she had remarried Mike not for love yet “to get custody back of the children.” Still, she vowed, “I’m going to go residence and give Mike 100% my effort.” Turning to Miles, she continued: “I’m going to remove you from social media, and I don’t aspire to have contact with you, and I think that’s best for everybody.”


Yet is it best for everybody? At the two-month check-in, Nina and Mike mentioned they’d made marital improvements and “things [were] a lot better,” nevertheless immediately considering that their issues -- and Nina’s previous willingness to walk away from her marriage -- will their union really last? Or should Nina have began fresh with Miles, who seemed to honestly love her and was ready to do anything to prepare her happy?
