Things are tense between Leah Messer and hubby Jeremy Calvert.
That is putting it mildly. With three kids to take care of and a new home to look for ... Jeremy has been called back to work and will be traveling for weeks.
He does provide for them, yes. But it's wearing on her big time.
Perhaps it was inevitable on Teen Mom 2 Season 5 Episode 9 that Leah started talking about him not being there for her like a "normal" husband.
Leah suggests they try couples therapy, an idea Jeremy doesn’t take seriously at first, until he realizes she's quite serious, at which point he just acts weird.
He even slaps Leah in the face with a piece of bacon, which was likely meant to be more playful than it came across but still seemed very uncalled for.
He stands his ground and won't do counseling, period. But then, in a surprise twist, Jeremy comes home early from traveling to tell Leah he quit his job.
He got a job offer in New Mexico for a lot more money, and he’ll be able to afford to fly her down for visits. We have not seen the last of this issue ...
After the big fight between Jenelle Evans‘ mom Barbara and her boyfriend, Nathan Griffith, Jenelle tries to make it right by having Nathan over for Jace’s party.
Barbara doesn’t want him there. They begin to fight like crazy.
When he shows up, Nathan tells Jenelle how he wishes Barbara would just see he's a good guy at heart. Then he apologizes to Barbara directly.
She reminds him that she has dedicated her life to her children, including Jenelle's child, and doesn’t deserve to be called a bad mother like he did.
Barbara says she has Jenelle's back no matter what. Nathan tells Barbara that if that’s true, then she can come after him if he ever hurts Jenelle.
Until then, cut him some slack. They are both in the right here.
Incredibly, we also see Jenelle try to parent Jace and talk to him about why he's acting out and trying to get attention by misbehaving at the party.
Raising kids is tough, but we're glad Jenelle is even involved at this point.
Kailyn Lowry’s wedding is right around the corner, and for the most part that's a glorious thing, but she still needs to quash the beef with Javi Marroquin‘s family.
That's easier than letting bygones be bygones with Isaac‘s father Jo Rivera, who was not invited to the wedding. Nor was Kailyn's biological mother.
In a truly heartbreaking moment, she says her mom isn't welcome because she hasn't been there for any other important moment in her life. Why now?
Thankfully, she and Javi (and Javi's relatives) are on the same page.
Chelsea Houska is stressed over Adam Lind demanding custody of Aubree, and voiced her opposition to his mandatory visitation request to the court.
Adam tells his friend Randy that he thinks he’s changed enough for a court to recognize that he's different and deserves to see his daughter sometimes.
Fortunately, Chelsea decides to enroll Aubree in dance classes for the first time, and she's downright adorable, offering us a lighter plot line this week.
