90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 6 Episode 11 aired on September 16, 2024 on TLC. The show's eleventh episode, Eat, Play Lie, featured one of the couples, Dempsey Wilkinson and Statler Riley.

While on their boat trip to France, they got into a bit of an argument after Statler had a panic attack. She was not feeling any better, and Dempsey wanted Statler to open up and share her feelings.

However, with a panic attack, Statler wished to be alone, and she felt that her partner was not helping, as she shared,

"It's frustrating that she doesn't understand. Sometimes I just get overwhelmed, and I need to be alone, and I just need space."

90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way stars Dempsey and Statler were on a boat while the latter was not feeling better due to anxiety and panic attacks. So she came out on the deck, in the open air, so that she might feel better, while Dempsey stayed inside.

"I'm just struggling with this boat ride. She (Dempsey) thinks my anxiety could be cured because it's like a nice moment; I'm like, 'No.' My anxiety is still with us. It's still in the room," confessed Statler.

The 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way star added that, in her past relationships, her anxiety had been a significant problem.

On the other hand, Dempsey was sitting alone and confessed that Statler didn't share anything about feeling anxious. She said that she felt like she was "hitting a brick wall constantly." She thought that the trip was supposed to be "exciting."

"She said to me earlier, like a couple of weeks ago, 'I'm comfortable in misery.' That's constantly being played in my mind because I don't know how somebody can be comfortable in misery. I don't expect somebody to be happy all the time. I'm not happy all the time," confessed Dempsey.

She added that she couldn't be comfortable "next to misery." Then, the producer asked her if it was something that she could do for the rest of her life. Dempsey responded that she didn't like "feeling like that," so, "No."

Later on, 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way star checked on Statler and asked how she was feeling, she said,

"I just wish that when you feel anxious, you just let me know. If you need space in that exact moment. And not be rude to me. That's hard for me."

Statler replied that she tried to tell Dempsey about it and added that anxiety doesn't come from a "logical place." Dempsey didn't like how her partner was "rude and snappy."

While Dempsey wanted to address the panic attacks and the issue, Statler didn't want to speak at that moment since she was still feeling anxious.

"Can we talk about this when we get on the land? Like, this is like a very high emotional conversation and I'm already, its just my emotions are high enough," shared Statler.

The couple's conversation was not going so well. Later on, during their discussion, Statler felt that Dempsey wanted to break things off with her.
