Andrei Castravet and Elizabeth "Libby" Potthast have had one of the most complicated marriages ever featured on 90 Day Fiancé, and it's been full of low points over the years. Although Andrei and Elizabeth have managed to have a fairly successful marriage, many fans accuse Libby of faking happiness in her relationship. From Andrei's unending job search to Elizabeth's critical family, here are all of the worst moments in the 90 Day Fiancé couple's marriage.
Andrei and Elizabeth made their reality TV debut on 90 Day Fiancé season 5 in October 2017. At the time, Andrei was 31 years of age and came from Chisinau, Moldova. Meanwhile, Elizabeth was 27 years old and from Tampa, Florida. The couple first met when Elizabeth was visiting Dublin. It just so happened that Andrei was working as a bouncer in Dublin during Elizabeth's trip.
The pair's relationship moved rapidly as they were making plans for their wedding not long after they had just gotten to know each other. Ultimately, Andrei and Elizabeth tied the knot in Florida in October 2017. Elizabeth gave birth to the pair's first child, Eleanor Louise, on January 23, 2019. Even though Andrei and Elizabeth have been enjoying a fruitful marriage, their relationship has endured its fair share of rocky moments that shocked 90 Day Fiancé viewers.
Andrei's Physical Fight With Elizabeth's Brother
One of the bleakest moments in Andrei and Elizabeth's marriage was when Andrei got into a physical altercation with Elizabeth's brother, Michael. Elizabeth's family had always been opposed to Andrei as a husband, and they had made a habit of butting into the married couple's relationship. Recently, Elizabeth's siblings felt uncomfortable with Andrei joining his father-in-law's property management business. In fact, Libby's brother and her two sisters, Becky and Jenny, believed that Andrei was manipulating his wife's father for money. Then, Andrei's relationship with his in-laws took a huge nosedive at Chuck's barbecue.
Andrei had already been arguing with Becky and Jenny at the event, but when Charlie arrived, the heated discussion transitioned into a 90 Day Fiancé family brawl. Andrei told Charlie to have a seat, to which Charlie responded, "Don't tell me what to do." Suddenly, the men were pushing each other. While Elizabeth's family yelled for the two to stop, Andrei put Charlie in a headlock and the brother-in-laws wrestled onto the ground. Chuck and a member of production ran to break up the fight while Libby panicked off-camera.
Andrei's Unemployment Stress
Although it doesn't typically result in melees, Andrei's source of income has always been a sore spot for the 90 Day Fiancé couple. For some time, Andrei wasn't working, as he was attempting to figure out which career path he wanted to pursue. Initially, Andrei wanted to be a truck driver. While he was working on the road, however, Libby was the sole source of income for their growing family. By June 2019, ultimate 90 Day Fiancé villain Andrei had moved on from wanting to be a truck driver and shifted gears to pursue a career as a handyman. In turn, Elizabeth was stressed out about Andrei not helping out with money while she was pregnant. This prompted Andrei to make one of his lowest comments, claiming that Elizabeth was "terrorizing" him with "her pregnancy."
Andrei Bullying Elizabeth
Throughout their marriage, Andrei has been very proud and attempted to be as much of an alpha male as he can be. Many fans think Andrei is very controlling and mean to Elizabeth. Unfortunately, plenty of scenes of him bullying his wife have come to light. One particularly ugly moment between the couple occurred during their trip to Moldova. Specifically, Andrei demonstrated his rude behavior when he explained that Elizabeth shouldn't talk too much and should "listen double" in his home country. When Libby attempted to join a conversation between Andrei and his friends, her husband mocked her for trying to be a "feminist."
Clearly, Andrei and Elizabeth's marriage isn't perfect, but it has worked for the 90 Day Fiancé stars, somehow. From physical fights to name-calling, there is ample evidence that suggests the pair should not continue to fight for their marriage. Despite fan criticism, Andrei and Elizabeth have moved past their lowest moments on 90 Day Fiancé.
