After a dramatic season premiere, VH1 Couples Retreat returned on Monday night. Nick Young and Keonna, high-school sweethearts, were among the troubled couples who shared their relationship issues during the group activity.

When John asked Nick his thoughts on Keonna going to work, he revealed that he supports her decision, but he's used to her being the "mom" and taking care of the household and kids. Now since she's going to work and he's at home, he's got to take care of everything.

Speaking of Nick's opinion, Keonna shared,

"He's like, know your place as a woman. You know it's a man's job to take care of things, let me do that."

This led to an intense argument, with Nick walking away in anger. Fans who watched the episode were annoyed with Nick's behavior, saying he was immature.

This week's episode was titled Build the Wall, and that's precisely what they did. The five couples had to discuss roadblocks in their relationship. While the couples opened up about their issues, Nick Young couldn't wait for the activity to get done.

While the couple opened up about their relationship troubles in this episode, Nick couldn't help but sigh and mumble that he was tired of the activity. Keonna, who was upset with his behavior, said:

"Nick doesn't understand how his rude behavior has an affect on me too. Once again, this isn't about you Nick."

Nick was also quick to comment on the other couple's relationship troubles. But when it came to handling the issues in his relationship, he walked away from Keonna in the middle of their conversation.

Apart from Nick and Keonna's relationship drama this week, the episode also showcased Jess and Daniel's issues. Jess revealed that she expected more intimacy and affection from Daniel. But he wasn't ready to give her what she wanted.

Daniel shared,

"Anything worth the while you have to wait for it. Rome wasn't built overnight. So for me, the love and romance, we're not in a place where we're in love. We like each other a lot, but we're not in love."

Jess was taken aback by Daniel's response. The VH1 Couples Retreat star added that he and Jess hadn't been in a relationship for as long as the other couples were present. Hence, she needed to have a little more patience and time for him to give her what she wanted.

This didn't sit well with other couples, especially Claudia, who shared that Jess was left in an awkward position because Daniel embarrassed her at every chance he got. She also added that Jess needed to speak up for what she wanted.

Meanwhile, Michael and Rada's drama from last week continued. When asked about his commitment issues, he revealed that he is committed to Rada. But when it came to intimacy, he couldn't commit to that and needed to be with other women.
