Mike Youngquist and Natalie Mordovtseva's journey on '90 Day Fiance' is turning out to be quite the rollercoaster ride. And one can't blame them given what they are having to deal with at this point in time. She moved countries to be with him but he's hardly available. The man works two jobs, which naturally leaves him little to no time to give to his fiancee. 

What's Mike's job?



 


He lives in Sequim, Washington, where he takes care of his family's 27-acre tree farm, which is 130 years old. He bought it from his father when he put it up on sale. It's easy to see why he'd be so invested in making sure the farm's doing okay. But is Natalie okay with it? Lately, she has been consumed by other things and taken up by the sleepiness of Mike's town to focus on any other aspect. 

However, a couple of episodes ago, she did feel the sting when Mike gave his job priority over them spending time together. He wakes up at 3 am to drive to Seattle to work a day job at White Cap, a construction tools company, InTouch Weekly reported. And his regular six-hour drive to and from work obviously tires him out to realize that Natalie has spent way too much time alone. 

What's Mike and Natalie's story?



 


Like most couples, they have their issues. When Mike was in Kyiv, Ukraine, Natalie and his fights spiraled out of control, which prompted her to return the engagement ring. They had a fairytale engagement in France. From differences in faith to vastly opposite dietary choices, there's hardly anything that makes them compatible.

They even fought about having kids. Natalie wanted kids right away but Mike thought it would be better they make such a huge commitment once he has cleared his debt.



 

However, the couple has been able to sail through despite the anomalies because somewhere deep down they love each other too much to let go. They first met through common friends and there's been no looking back since.
