Newlyweds Kayla and Travis have been married for less than a year, but their marriage is already in crisis. Kayla says Travis is physically and emotionally abusive and has been unfaithful.

Travis admits to both but claims he cheats because Kayla is "boring" and says hitting her is the only way to make her stop talking. So why won’t Kayla leave?

Then, Amanda, a mother of five, wants plastic surgery to regain confidence in her body, but her fiancé, Ali, threatens to call off the engagement if she goes through with it. He insists he only likes “all-natural” women, yet frequently praises others’ appearances. Is Amanda making the decision for herself, or is Ali’s disapproval holding her back?
