‘90 Day Fiancé’: Are Brandon and Julia finally moving out? Fans say it's time ‘to cut the umbilical cord’
Brandon Gibbs and Julia Trubkina's drama seems to be never-ending. The issue is still the same — Trubkina being a city girl is way in over her head, seeing that she's suddenly expected to handle working on a farm every day.
Along with the new responsibilities, the couple being forced to stay in separate rooms has Trubkina reaching the breaking point. In the previous episode, we saw her give Gibbs an ultimatum — either they leave the farm or she leaves. And looks like Gibbs might have just taken that threat seriously.
He finally stands up to his parents and tells them that they will be moving out, at least that's what he's working towards. With his mother breaking into tears and his father insisting that Gibbs put his foot down, it's safe to say the two didn't handle the news too well. Fans seemed extremely fed up with his parent's drama and didn't hesitate to get vocal about it.
"Can someone cut Brandon’s umbilical cord already? #90DayFiance" said a fan, referring to the fact that Gibbs still had to discuss this matter with his parents as opposed to just being able to leave.
"#90dayfiance Brandon needs to get their own place. He's a grown man his parents need to just back off and realize he's not a kid. His parents are acting ridiculous," said a fan, summing it up.
"The fact that his parents are so pressed about their grown ass son moving out tells me all I need to know. Let my son say he’s moving out...lemme help #90DayFiance" agreed another.

Apart from arguing that Gibbs needs to man up, fans were quick to take up for Trubkina as well. "So Mother Betty and Papa Ron get to go eat at the restaurant and Julia is home slopping pigs??? #90DayFiance" referring to the fact that Trubkina wasn't a part of this conversation.
"#90DayFiance Every time I see Julia, this public service announcement about human trafficking comes to mind... https://youtu.be/jwRGakGIJqU" tweeted another, and honestly, it makes for a compelling argument.

Others pointed out the sheer hypocrisy of the situation.
"What Betty & Ron have done (since they don't seem to understand why Julia wants to leave): Try to take over Julia's uterus, not allow sleeping in the same room, force Julia to work on the farm, yell at Julia for not waking up at 5am, forbid Julia from drinking tea #90dayfiance" Tweeted a fan. "Brandon’s Family: We’ve made Julia an employee of the farm, disrespected her, and invaded her privacy everyday since she’s gotten here *Julia wants to leave* Brandon’s Family: #90DayFiance" agreed another.

Looks like the family's on-going drama isn't going to end until the couple move out. Turns out, Gibbs might have just won this round, seeing that he tells Trubkina later that he negotiated with his parents and they can stay in the same room and she won't have to do any farm work. Trubkina agrees to the compromise. Will it be smooth sailing for the two now? Let's see and find out!
