'90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?' Season 7: Fans call out Liz for low self-esteem as she struggles to mingle with Big Ed's family

Liz finally got to meet Ed's family, but she is still apprehensive about whether or not their views would trump those of her relationship

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA: As Elizabeth "Liz" Woods watches Ed "Big Ed" Brown abandon her at the second engagement party, she worries that "anyone can talk Ed out of our relationship." Her fans are concerned that she needs to improve her self-esteem.

Liz had one request for Big Ed before their second engagement party: he never leave her side. Ed's family threw the happy pair a second party after their first engagement celebration ended in disaster on Sunday night's episode of '90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?' Ed and Liz were both certain that the night would not end in squabbles, however, Ed promptly broke his commitment to stay close to Liz all night. He left the room with several of the other men in the family after entering the party, where Liz was meeting Ed's Arkansas family for the first time. Liz was completely disoriented when she met these new women, but she managed to handle the situation gracefully.

"Typical Ed," Liz admitted in a confessional. "He told me he would not leave my side. Second, we walk in the door … boom, gone. And I thought there was a respite that he would make me comfortable until I adjusted and got to know the family, but — I'm disappointed."

Throughout the episode, Liz expressed several misgivings about Ed's family, with Ed's mother's disapproval of their relationship at the top of the list. Liz hoped the rest of his family would accept her with wide arms, fearing that additional negative comments about their age difference might irreparably harm their relationship.

"I feel like Ed can be influenced by his family, and we would fight a lot about that — to the point where Ed and I would break up over it," Liz revealed to the cameras. "So, I'm worried that anybody can talk Ed out of our relationship."

All in all, Ed and Liz's second engagement celebration went off without a hitch. It looked to be a relief for both of them after their first party nearly ended their engagement. Earlier in the season, Ed and Liz had a lavish engagement party for their California friends. Ed spotted one of Liz's old employees clutching her arm during the party and said the action was aggressive and sexual. He came to the conclusion that Liz, who is straight, had a hidden lesbian relationship with the lady. Liz flatly refuted Ed's assertion and stormed out of the party. She flung her engagement ring into a bush out of frustration. When Ed returned home, he seemed to call off the engagement, claiming that Liz was withholding something about her sexuality. Off camera, the couple patched things up and maintained their relationship in later episodes.

Seeing Liz trying to make it through the party, fans wrote on social media, "Liz and her horrendous self esteem is still willingly on TV with Big Ed…" Another viewer added, "In WHAT UNIVERSE am I living where LIZ is worried ED will leave HER????? ED should be scared Sh*tress that Liz will leave him someday. And.... SHE SHOULD." Some fans had the same concerns as Liz as they write, "The women are definitely not on Liz’s side." One fan also advised, "Liz needs to work on her self esteem. She so worried about that leprechaun leaving her."

Another fan addressed the main issue in their relationship, "Why is Liz in a hurry to marry Ed. They should be working on their relationship and the relationships they have , or don’t, with their families. Marriage isn’t going to change the dynamic." Asking Liz to make up her mind, a fan wrote, "Liz grow up . One minute you don’t want Ed up your ass. The next minute you don’t want him to leave your side. Which is it?" Some fans also found it weird that Liz was having a hard time to spend some alone time with her future in-laws, "liz can’t be alone with ed’s family? that is very weird." Calling out their relationship, another viewer tweeted, "Liz is feeling totally awkward at this party because the relationship between her and Ed is clearly fake!!"
