Why Did Ed and Liz Fight Over Taco Pasta on ‘90 Day Fiance’?

Ed and Liz’s fight came after he cooked dinner for his family, as Liz explained during the April 21 episode of Happily Ever After?. She revealed that the dish was “too spicy” for Ed’s sister, but he simply told her to “stop being a baby” about it, which Liz didn’t like. She said that she “called him out on it” and Ed fought back, calling her “crazy.”

“So, at this point, we’re arguing in front of his family,” she said in a confessional, later adding in her car, “This blowup, it’s not like Ed tried to talk me through it or anything like that. Ed doesn’t like being pulled into a corner or like, being made to listen to how he messed up.”

Liz then explained that she found Ed gone when she woke up the next morning.

“I think Liz actually is waiting for me to call her up and say I’m sorry like it’s always been. I call, I apologize, okay, and we move on,” Ed said. “And that’s how the last 14 breakups have been.”

He added, “I’m not angry at Liz. I’m just realizing that we’re not meant to be together. I’m at a different stage in my life, and I can see clearly that it’s not gonna work — that Liz needs to go live her life, and I need to live mine.”

Ed ended up calling off their wedding, which Liz discovered via a text from their officiant.

“I received a text message from our officiant telling me how sorry he was that the wedding was called off,” she said through tears. “Ed canceled our wedding without even telling me.”
