When a spouse goes on a months-long military deployment overseas, it takes a toll on all parties.
Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin have been feeling the effects ever since he left on a tour with the U.S. Air Force in January.
While the couple have been at the center of divorce rumors over the past several weeks, a clip from the new Teen Mom 2 (likely filmed weeks ago) shows them interacting over FaceTime.
Kailyn is hanging out at home with her kids Isaac and Lincoln when Javi calls.
Lincoln says hello to his dad and shows him his ring pop and new haircut.
Kailyn then thanks Javi for sending flowers and treating her and her friends to dinner the night before.
“Well, I wanted to get flowers for everybody just because, you know, your friends also play a huge roll in our marriage, and how you deal with…"
"You?” Kail says with a laugh. “Just kidding!”
“…Me being gone,” Javi finishes. “So I just wanted to show them that I was appreciative of them too.”
But midway through the call, Javi becomes solemn, and Kail asks what"s wrong.
"This place is just draining," he admits. "You"re like in a f**king prison."
"What can we do to help you have better days? Is there anything that we can do?"
"There"s nothing, it"s just sad," replies Javi. "It"s just sad, it"s the same thing every day."
Kailyn lets him know it"s difficult to have conversations and says she doesn"t know what she can do to help him except reassure him that they will get through it.
"Just don"t let it f**k with your head," she tells him. "I feel like it"s messing with your head, you can"t let that happen."
"I can"t go anywhere," he laments. "I don"t have anything here. I have my room. I eat and I sleep to wake up again."
An exasperated Kailyn finally breaks down crying, covering her face with her hand.
Much has happened on social media since this interaction.
The couple unfollowed each other on Twitter after Javi seemingly bragged about sending a naughty pic to a female friend.
After that, Kailyn was spotted without her wedding ring at the MTV Movie Awards and reportedly hung out with her ex Jordan Wenner.
We also don"t know how Javi reacted to Kailyn"s turn in a video short, in which she flirts with two guys and winds up sleeping with one of them.
