'90 Day Fiancé': Josh finally confronts Catie's embarrassing behavior
On Sunday's episode of 90 Day Fiancé, Josh finally confronted fiancée Catie over her embarrassing birthday behavior, telling her she was literally trying to make out with anything that moves after she drunkenly pursued multiple male friends in front of him. The blunt exchange signals a breaking point for the Season 12 couple as their wedding deadline looms.
Josh, 30, relocated from the UK to Portland, Oregon, to build a life with Catie, 26, on TLC's long-running franchise. Their arc has centered on Catie's pattern of aggressively flirting with male friends while drinking — conduct she has linked to obsessive compulsive disorder and intrusive thoughts. After last week's bar blowup, Sunday's installment showed the morning-after reckoning fans had been anticipating.

What did Josh say to Catie on 90 Day Fiancé?
The confrontation unfolded after Catie vomited in the bathroom and told Josh she could not remember her 27th birthday party. He filled in the blanks: she had aggressively tried to kiss multiple male friends while he watched.
Catie was mortified and apologized, but Josh noted she has said sorry before for wanting to make out with people despite being engaged. Sorry stops meaning anything after a while, he told her. You hear enough sorries and you want to see action.
When Josh asked what she thinks about while trying to kiss others, Catie replied, I think, just, I can love you but also want to kiss everyone else. Josh also pointed out that her friend Mark had to physically push her face away when she tried to make out with him — and that she was crossing Josh's boundaries too.
Why did Catie's birthday party turn into a crisis?
During last week's episode, Catie got drunk at her birthday celebration and brazenly pursued kisses from several male friends, including Ryan, a past hookup. Josh awkwardly watched from across the bar as each man turned her down.
Friend Mark pulled Josh aside and urged him to stand up for himself and deliver tough love. Sunday's follow-up made clear that advice finally landed. Josh laid out how the party made their prior boundary conversations feel pointless and their engagement seem unserious.
Are Josh and Catie still on track to marry?
Josh told Catie she needed to seriously consider what she wants before they marry within the show's 90-day window. I want to see that you really know what that means and that you see the commitment I'm making to you, he said. I want to feel it in return, and it's kind of up to you to figure out how to do that.
In a confessional, Josh said he loves Catie but feels torn between tolerating the behavior and walking away. He even weighed returning to the UK. It really is up to her to recognize what she wants and if she can be in this relationship, because right now it doesn't look like she can, he said.
Catie tearfully told cameras she has lost friends before because of her actions while drinking and worries she will push everyone away. For more on the franchise's latest relationship drama, follow our Celebrity Breaking News coverage. Full episode details are available via Page Six.
