On the Teen Mom OG episode ‘Love in La La Land,’ while Amber Portwood’s ex Gary Shirley is moving to a new home and Farrah Abraham goes out with a new guy, Maci Bookout gets a visit from her friend Keelie. When she asks Maci how things are going between her and her husband of less than one year, Taylor McKinney, Maci says, “Obviously, having three kids is catching up with us.” She adds, “85 percent of the time, we’re good to go. But the 15 percent is hell.” She explains, “It’s like all of our stress and emotion and everything we take out on each other.” Maci admits, “When the cameras leave, we’ll drink and freak out.”

Keelie asks if they would consider going to counseling together. She tries to encourage the idea by saying just because you go doesn’t mean your marriage is over. Maci gets it and realizes “It’s not going to go away.” Teen Mom OG airs Mondays at 8pm on MTV.
