Mike Youngquist and Natalie Mordovtseva are the troubled couple on '90 Day Fiance' but then who isn't? That's the whole point of the show. But with these two, it's different. They serve drama like no other. They are a returning couple. During their stint on Season 7, they amassed a loyal set of fans who are now sitting on the fence about the current phase the couple is in. 

Natalie wants Mike to book them a session with a couple's therapist so that they can talk it all out and share what's been blocking their way. The concerns are genuine and one cannot really fault her for it. She moved countries to be with Mike but he works two jobs, which take up most of his waking hours and exhausts him to a point where he wants to eat his dinner and hit the bed.

'90 Day Fiancé': Will Mike Youngquist and Natalie Mordovtseva ever stop arguing? Fans say they feel sorry for him

In Episode 10 of '90 Day Fiance' Season 8, we see a rather worried Natalie chat with Mike about what he thought of the 45 days they had spent together. NOT. Mike's day job requires him to travel six hours for which he wakes up at 3 am and later, he has to take care of his 27-acre tree farm, which he bought off from his family. While he wraps up all this, Natalie sits ducks at home with nothing much to do except for laundry, dishes, and cooking. 

Mike's response to Natalie's question was curt. He said their relationship needed work. Natalie agreed and recommended they book a session with a therapist. He downright rejected the idea, said he wasn't comfortable discussing their personal issues with a third person, and added that he's not going to spend a "bunch of money" on it. Natalie was dejected but knew that going to a professional will help them open and address issues better. 



 

Meanwhile, fans have weighed in with their two cents on Mike's wet blanket behavior. 

"Does he even understand what a relationship therapist does? She even said she would pay for just one session. How much can one session be if he is saying oh, I don't want to spend a bunch of money blah blah... Lame excuse!!! Grow up!" a user expressed on the show's official Facebook page.

"You’ll talk about your relationship and make public your issues, but you won’t talk or mediate it with a therapist?!?" a fan asked, while another posted: "He repeatedly says they need to work on stuff, but he doesn’t want to take the steps to do the actual work. A therapist would be the best thing for them. I like him but he has some very strange ideals."
 
The viewers are asking a valid question because first, a therapy session won't cost them much, and secondly, Mike can afford it given the kind of money he has. According to a biowikis report, his net worth is at $500,000. Let's hope the couple is able to meet mid-way.
