Ok my fience layed the sticky tile laminate stuff in out kitchen a bathroom (just moved and and floors were bad, dont have much money to fix them) well it was the cheapest way we could do it. Well now all we see is the lines were he joined them together, some of the lines are really big gaps. Is there any type of cocking, glue, putty we can put in between them so it doesnt look so bad??

With all due respect to "YOU" spell check might be a good idea. Beyond that YES there is a way you can probably resolve the issue; but you might have to but more tile to do it.
I answer this kind of Q often with regard to peel and stick; and hope my answer "sticks" to someone. I'm not at all a FAN of peel and stick; and again, with no offense meant YOU can see why.
Two suggestions. Bite the bullet and remove the tile; then reinstall; OR use SHHET vinyl. had you come here before you did the job this suggestion might have helped; and works for me every time.
I use...On a dcent substrate; a water based contact cement. DuPont might be one manufacturer. What I use comes in a nice Aqua color. Its consistnecy is more like water than the lacquer based; it initially can be cleaned with water; applies easily; has a less noxious odor; dries rapidly; and is as effective. I apply it to the substrate and the back of the peel and stick, then press.

One more NO OFFENSE...Sometimes some research before the fact results in a satisfactory job; after.

Unfortunately you are doomed, your fiance was in a hurry and rushed the job.......now you are living with the results. The only proper solution is to put down new tile the PROPER way or installed vinyl flooring (sheet).

I dont think i know what it is called. But i know what to do. Go to Home Depot or Lowe's and ask them about it they know exactly what to do. I have been there many times.
